Maintaining a healthy heart, increasing strength, flexibility and endurance are all benefits to be gained from a cardio at home workout. A successful cardio workout is extremely important in an effort to lead a long, healthy and productive life. Often the expense and time necessary to obtain an excellent cardio workout are preventative. Continuing the workout can be problematic as well. A gym membership or in home equipment can be too expensive. The success of a walking or running workout can be hindered by changes in weather or living in a area that is extremely hot, cold or rainy. Each of these factors can impact the chances of exercising regularly and it becomes too convenient to decide against a cardio workout. What begins as a healthy life goal often ends as a project we began and did not complete. So, what is the solution?
As a personal trainer with countless requests from my clients for a cardio workout that could be done at home, it became my goal to provide a highly effective and inexpensive cardio at home workout that would keep my clients challenged and fit and that would provide the highest quality cardio work out possible. After many hours of research, I discovered an at home cardio workout that did not require expensive equipment, a gym membership, or a running or walking routine. I discovered a cardio workout that burns off pounds of body fat that can be done at home without any equipment, and that can be done in much less time than traditional cardio workouts.
The method is bodyweight cardio. The bodyweight cardio circuits consist of different bodyweight exercises performed one after the other with no breaks until the end of each circuit.
Here is an example:
-Bodyweight Squats x 20
-Push ups x 15
-Inverted Rows x 15
-Explosive Lunges x 10 each leg
-Inch Worms x 5
-Jumping Jacks x 60
KEY CONCEPTS:
-Always check first with a physician to determine if any health problems exist that could prevent aerobic exercising.
-As with all exercise routines, gradually increase the level of activity and repetitions.
-Do not become discouraged. Daily exercise increases endurance and as strength is increased more can be accomplished.
-Complete each exercise, do not break, rest for one two minutes and then repeat the circuit 2-4 more times.
-Switch the order of the exercises to prevent exercise burn out.
Variation:
-Set a timer for 15 minutes and complete that circuit as many times as possible within that time frame.
-The next time you exercise attempt to increase the number of circuits completed.
This exercise routine will provide you with an intensive and extremely effective at home cardio workout. The benefits of a healthy heart, increased flexibility, muscle strength, fat burning and endurance are all included with no hidden fee, no gym membership, and no purchase of a treadmill or walking miles in potentially dangerous locations at inconvenient times. Get started today to enjoy all the benefits of an at home cardio workout.
