Cardio doesn’t have to mean running marathons or grinding on the elliptical.

In this episode of Reshape Your Health, we explore fun, approachable ways to build cardio fitness — even if you don’t like “traditional” cardio workouts. We also break down heart rate zones, how hard you really need to work, and easy methods to measure your heart rate so your workouts are safe and effective.

If you want all the health benefits of cardio without forcing yourself to run, press play.
