What is cardiovascular fitness and why does it matter?

Most people know the term but aren’t exactly sure what it entails and the impact it has on their fitness level.

Cardiovascular fitness is the capacity
of the heart and lungs to deliver
oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and
the ability of the muscles to use this to
produce energy for exercise.

Break into ‘the flow’

Good cardiovascular fitness can help
get you into a state where you’re
moving freely and effortlessly with a
heightened sense of your movement
and surroundings. Exercising in this
flow state is great!

Aerobic exercises like cycling, swimming, running, rowing and hiking all improve cardiovascular fitness.
