Cardio exercise, short for cardiovascular exercise or aerobic exercise, is any activity that raises your heart rate and breathing for a sustained period, using oxygen to fuel your muscles and strengthen your heart, lungs, and circulatory system, with examples like brisk walking, running, cycling, and swimming. It helps burn calories, improve mood, lower blood pressure, and reduce risks for heart disease and diabetes, making it essential for overall health and weight management.
