Answers:
For general health, aerobic exercise for the cardiovascular system is more important than weightlifting! More important than that to most people is that aerobic exercise helps get you ripped!. It is really amazing illusion but losing weight and getting ripped makes you look more massive even though you have lost weight! I can't tell you how many times people come up to me at the end of the beach volleyball season when I am really ripped and comment on how massive I look and ask how much muscle I have gained even though I have lost 10lbs!. Not everyone can gain 10lbs of muscle in a year, its really difficult; however, almost anyone can get ripped in a year if they focus on doing their aerobic exercise and proper nutrition!.

If you don't have time to do aerobic exercise then skip weightlifting so you can do it!. Aerobic exercise should not be boring, it should be fun! If you have to do cardio at the gym then find a good book, listen to the radio or books on tape - find a way to make it interesting and enjoyable!. Better yet, find a sport you love and do it with a spouse or friend and the time will fly by!. Walking, jogging, cycling, soccer, volleyball or whatever it takes!. If you don't have much time then jog to the gym, walk you kids to school, walk your dog, or start using your bike for transportation!. If you dont belong to a gym, and dont have a thousand dollars for a good stationary cardio machine, buy a jump-rope! Jumping rope is an amazingly intense aerobic workout, in fact, you will probably have to start with just a few minutes and work up to 20-30 minutes a day!. Jumping rope is not only an amazing aerobic workout but is great at increasing coordination!. Contrary to popular belief, jumping rope is not monotonous either if done properly and takes a lot of concentration!. One drawback is that you need a room with high ceilings to jump rope or you need to do it outside!.

How much cardio!? If you are happy with your body fat percentage and just want to keep your heart healthy then follow the American Heart Association's guidelines and do 30 minutes of light exercise (walking, gardening, etc) a day!. If you want to lose body fat then try and do 30-60 minutes of strenuous cardio (swimming, running, fast biking) every day or 60 minutes every other day!.

If you are lacking in time then find some part of your week where you can bike for transportation instead of driving, to work, the gym, or the grocery store perhaps!? Time sitting in your car is not only expensive but it is a waste of time, try and find some way of biking instead of driving the car!. If you are overweight enough that you don't feel comfortable biking then walking is a great option!. Try walking as transportation, beats wasting time sitting in traffic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cardio exercise is any form of aerobic exercise that gets your heartbeat up!. Running, jogging, stair-climbing, and jump-rope are all exampes of cardio exercise!.

Weightlifting, for example, is not, because you are not moving that much, nor is your heart rate raised as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

An exercise where you heartbeat is raised and you usually sweat a lot!. For example, running, cycling, swimming, rowing, etc!.
