There is still time to do any of these activities before the summer ends. Actually, there is time to do these activities even after the summer ends. I'm listing my top heart health/cardio exercises (not based on what I like to do but on what I think is best for the general population):
1. Running/Sprinting/Walking - Walking is in this category because everyone cannot run or put a lot of force on their joints for different reasons.
2. Swimming - Especially good if you have a joint issue and need a good cardio workout.
3. Biking - Not a lot of bad things to say about this one except that it is not running.
4. Cross Country Skiing - Winter's way of running without actually running.
4T. Jump Roping - Running in place with a little pizzazz.
6. Trampoline Jumping - exciting
7. Boxing - The stress reducer.
8. Rowing/Kayaking - Thinking outside of the box.
9. Dancing (Zumba, Ballroom, Hip-Hop) - Move your butt/self to a beat!
10. Rollerblading/roller skating - Fun. Definite fun.
11. Canoeing - Not as good as rowing and kayaking in the increased heart rate category. But, it does have that fun camp feeling.
It came to my attention that dancing and tennis are also good cardio activities. I concur. They were accidentally left off the list. Check out ballroom and salsa dancing; you work up a great sweat!
