Walking |
Have to walk before you can
run, as they say. It's quite possible to work up a fair sweat and be adequately
out of breath just walking strongly (McKinney refers to 'Power walking'
- it's the same thing with a bit more swing). Some pros and cons:
|
|
Jogging |
The classic cardio exercise.
Run round the park gently for half an hour or so.
|
|
Cycling |
One that I use, instead of
driving to work a couple of times a week.
|
|
Rowing (machines) |
This one is quite a good option for archers, and a lot of gyms
have a rowing machine.
|
|
Swimming |
If you're into the wet stuff,
this is another very good option for archery.
|
|
Other exercises |
The list above is not exhaustive.
There's a whole lot of other stuff, like gardening (dig a lot!), mountaineering,
dancing, and a lot of team and individual sports, that improve cardio fitness.
And don't forget purpose-designed classes, like aerobics, step aerobics,
water aerobics and the range of exercise kit that you can find in most gyms.
All it takes is 20-40 minutes out of breath - and the determination to keep
at it. |
