The truth about cardio: what it does, what it doesn't, and how much you actually need

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what cardio actually does in your body, why the fitness industry's "more is better" messaging is wrong, and why you need far less than you think—with research showing that even modest amounts of regular movement produce significant health returns. They address the real barriers people face (hating treadmills, starting from zero, juggling competing priorities) and explain why consistency and enjoyment matter more than intensity or perfect adherence to guidelines. You'll leave with a realistic picture of cardiovascular exercise as a brain health and longevity tool—not a calorie-burning obligation.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
