What is heart disease, is "cardio" really treadmills and bikes, and how does it all work together? The answer may surprise you.

"Cardio" isn't what you think...

We have this idea that "cardio" is running and cycling. That it's treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. When we think of fitness we think "cardio" and "weights". Good news is... your idea of "cardio" is a bit off, and so is your idea of how to approach fitness in general.

But that's not today's topic.
