Francisco Javier Gomez Noya
Spanish Athlete
I have to have routine check-ups every three to six months. While the cardiologists think I can compete, there is no problem. I didn't consider quitting. Once the cardiologists said I could run, I decided to fight.
Quote examples
Vidya Balan
Indian Actress
I work out at home. I don't have a gym, but I use light weights. I do calisthenics, which is basically using your own body weight, like you do in yoga, to strengthen your core. I also do a bit of cardio.
Quote examples
Yoel Romero
Cuban Athlete
If I'm number one in the world, it's for a reason. People can talk about the cardio all they want, but the results show it. So people behind me, they have to have really, really bad cardio also.

A cardio workout increases blood flow and acts as a filter system. It brings nutrients like oxygen, protein, and iron to the muscles that you've been training and helps them recover faster.

Hafthor Bjornsson
Icelander Athlete
Don't tie yourself down to one workout, as your muscles quickly adapt to a certain style of training, so you'll see less results over time. The same can be said about cardio and your diet.
