City People Are Thinner Than Suburban People
Having lived in both big city and suburbs, I always noticed when I go to the mall that people in the suburbs seem fatter. It was just my observation, but now I found that there is a study that backs it up.
According to a nationwide survey of over 200,000 people in 2003, people who live in the suburbs on average weigh more (6.3 additional lbs) and have higher blood pressure than those who live in the city.
People in big cities tend to walk more than those in the suburbs.
In the suburbs, the only way to get to places is by car, because everything is so spread out. There are almost no pedestrians, and there aren’t even that many sidewalks 
You take a couple of steps to your car, drive where you need to, then park as close as possible to your destination and take a couple of steps to get out of the car… talk about inactive!
However, in the city you see tons of walking people. Many people in big cities don’t even own a car because of the traffic jams and lack of street parking.
So if you live somewhere where there is nowhere to go by foot, make sure you find other ways to get moving.

Plan Your Workouts
If you’ve chosen to exercise to lose weight, I recommend keeping a daily planner where you write down the dates and times when you are going to work out.
Putting your workouts on definite dates and times in your calendar will increase the likelihood that you are actually going to do them. Unless things are planned exactly when, where and how they will happen, they are just pipe dreams
Without a plan, it’s too easy to procrastinate, avoid and postpone. When you write things down, you make a commitment to yourself for the time period that you’ve chosen.

Heart Rate Monitors
Some people enjoy using a heart rate monitor and find that it helps to motivate them, but you don’t need one. You can tell how fast your heart is beating just by paying attention to how you breathe. The only heart rate that you need to know is the training heart rate that makes your heart stronger. To strengthen your heart, you have to exercise vigorously enough to increase your heart rate at least 20 beats a minute beyond your resting heart rate.

Best Cardio Exercises
By Gary Gresham
The best cardio exercises are something you enjoy so you’ll stick to it to get the maximum benefits. You may be surprised at how quickly this form of physical activity becomes a habit you enjoy.
Exercise and cardiovascular fitness exercises are great for your health but the best cardio exercises get you to your ideal target heart rate as you exercise.
To test your heart rate while exercising place your thumb on the underside of your wrist to locate your pulse. Count the heart beats for fifteen seconds and multiply that number times four.
That number is your heart rate. To calculate your ideal target heart rate, subtract your age from two hundred and twenty.
Everyone has their own preference of exercise, but these exercises below will get you to your ideal target heart rate and are some of the best cardio exercises.
Walking As Exercise
Walking as exercise fits well into most lifestyles and is something anyone can do at any age. Start out walking at a medium pace and end up walking briskly so you can get to your ideal target heart rate.
Walk where you climb slight grades to increase resistance which will increase your heart rate. Not only will walking as exercise make you feel good it’s one of the best cardio exercises to do with a friend.
Bicycling Exercise
Bicycling exercise also offers no age barriers and people at almost any fitness level can enjoy it. The benefit of bicycling exercise is it builds your strength and agility.
Like walking, to get to your ideal target heart rate, find slight grades to ride on to increase resistance. Bicycling exercise is not only one of the best cardio exercises it’s not likely that you’ll ever get bored.
Swimming Pool Workout
A swimming pool workout is ideal for a full body exercise and cardiovascular fitness. Exercise in water is easy on the joints because the water supports you and water also provides a natural resistance.
To keep your workout balanced, swim laps using different strokes to vary the muscles you work. A swimming pool workout is one of the best cardio exercises because it gets you to your ideal target heart rate quickly.
Elliptical Exercise
Working out on an elliptical exerciser is one of the best cardio exercises available. Like a swimming pool workout, elliptical exercise is ideal for a full body exercise and cardiovascular fitness.
The motion of elliptical exercise feels very natural and compliments normal body movements making it feel like the workout is easier. Elliptical exercise creates a safe workout because it reduces the harmful stress and impact on your muscles and joints.
The duration of any cardiovascular fitness exercise should be a minimum of twenty minutes and up to sixty minutes. Test your heart rate while exercising and calculate your ideal target heart rate.
To get to your ideal target heart rate just adjust your speed or resistance. That way you get the highest possible benefit and the best cardio exercise possible.
