Shawn's Fitness Fundamentals - Cardio

Shawn is an NASM certified fitness specialist, which basically means he knows what he's doing. So, thankfully for us, he has designed a wonderful beginner's workout series.

As with any new major physical activity, please consult your doctor before beginning this exercise program.
