Cardio for Hot Yoga Bods

It's about that time of year when the weather is warming up and people are realizing that swimsuits are just around the corner. This of course leads to an increase in cardio for so many people that want to burn off extra body fat.

There are lots of forms of cardio to consider:

• Jumping Rope
• Running
• Jogging
• Hula Hooping
• Yoga (yes it can be cardio)
• Plyometrics
• and tons of other combinations of fun things that get your heart rate up for a while...

Running is commonly chosen because it's one of the most effective forms of cardio there is. If you're running then you need to do more stretches both before and after your run (because it's also one of the roughest forms of cardio).
