Cardio is short for cardiovascular, which refers to your heart. Cardio workouts refer to those kinds of routines that keep your heart rate elevated for a longer period of time. Cardios essentially promote aerobic fitness, and burn a lot of calories as well as having countless health benefits.
Examples of cardios include: Step machine, jogging, swimming, biking, eliptical machines, etc.
Contrary to popular belief the key to a flat stomach is very much related to cardio workouts. Situps, crunches and other isolation exercises will build muscle on the area. However in order to have it flat, you need to lower your body fat percentage. The only way to do that is exercise and diet. Cardio burns far more calories than other kinds of routines and is therefore the first choice (remember you cant target fat loss).
So, to get your flat stomach, start to eat healthy and to consume a few hundred calories less than you burn every day. Work in say 20 minutes of cardio exercise every second day to start with. That will not only help you lose weight, but also give you a healthier heart, help you relieve stress, make you sleep better, slow the aging process etc.
Good luck.
