3-Day Cardiovascular Program

To select the cardiovascular workout that is right for you, simply write your age in the age box and click “calculate.” Your maximum heart rate will automatically be calculated, and the level you should maintain your heart rate at is listed.

We prefer this flexible cardiovascular workout tool over a set cardiovascular program because it allows you to change your exercise routine as your schedule demands and fitness level changes.

If you're a recreational runner – whether you run for fitness, fun or an occasional short race – rather than completing the same workout every time, you'll also want to incorporate flat, easy runs, hill workouts and others that focus more on speed and strength. It’s better for your heart, lungs, mind and overall health to mix things up.
