Benefits of Cardio Exercise?

Did you ever think about what our bodies were actually made to do? Take a minute to think about how easy we have it.  Try to think of someone or time in history where people had to work by the sweat of their brow. When you feel like giving up during your work out, think of that person or time... and tell yourself, if they can do it, I can do it! 

So also when you do cardio exercises think of these benefits that it has on your body.
