Did you know for optimal health, the 2025 NHS Guidelines recommend adults aim for at least 150 mins of moderate to intense cardio per week?
This is a work in progress for me.. anyone else?
.
Here’s 4 science-backed reasons to crank up your cardio!
1. HELPS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT- How? Uses calories, improves metabolism, regulates blood sugar.
2. STRENGTHENS HEART & LUNGS- How? Lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, reduces the risk of developing heart disease, stroke & other cv conditions.
3. BOOSTS BRAIN FUNCTION- How? Enhances blood flow, improves memory & cognition, attention & can protect against age related cognitive decline
4. REDUCES STRESS & ANXIETY- How? Releases endorphins, enhancing the feel good factor, improves sleep, reduces stress positively.

Do you want to see if you can get 150 minutes of cardio completed with me this week?
I have 3 options to help you:
1- Hop to my YouTube Channel @TracyDixonMindBodyFit & do these videos
55 minute Aerobic workout
30 minute Fight fit aerobic workout
35 minute Latin dance aerobic workout
4 minute vigorous Tabata HIIT
2- Jump into a cardio class on the timetable
Spin Class is a great way to manage aerobic intensity & track it in real time click here- https://www.tracydixonmindandbodyfit.com/spinning-classes-kendal
3- Head outdoors & jog/run for 150 minutes in x 5 30-minute sessions.
You need to get yourself out of breath continuously for that duration of time.
** Remember to warm up first if you are doing option 3.
Are you up for the challenge?
