Always warm up before you start your stretches. This will prevent your body from getting injured. You should complete at least 5 minutes of aerobic exercise.
MORNING WORKOUT
The best time to do a cardio workout is on an empty stomach in the morning because the body will tap into its fat stores for energy, instead of burning carbohydrates and then reaching into the fat.
WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
If you rush in or out of a cardio exercise, it will strain your heart, muscle, connective tissue and joints. Begin slowly to prevent injuries. After three to five minutes, you can hike up the speed until you reach your ideal heart rate. The last three to five minutes should be used as cool down period to get back to normal heart rate.

COOL DOWN
After finishing your workout, you’ll need a cool down. This means it needs to get its heart rate back to normal. Remember not to stop suddenly, keep moving until you reach a slower pace and finally cool down.
RESTING
You should rest 90 seconds or less in between sets. It allows you to exercise more and improves your cardiovascular system. The most crucial benefit though is that it maximizes the output of growth hormone.
