It's not a secret that cardio plays one of the most important roles in loosing weight. But many people get confused what is cardio and what they are supposed to do in order to get their workout done. One thing for sure, you don't necessary need to go to a gym to do the cardio. Many people blame it on treadmill saying that they don't have money to buy it.
But I will say this, do not try to make excuses, it's completely doable and you don't need any equipment to do the cardio. In fact, I think it's even better to do it on your own, without any equipment, because in that case you make the other parts of your body work.
Ok, let's start then:
1. Warm up first and stretch ( Swing your arms, bend and try to reach your toes, warm up your knees...)
2. Start jogging really slow, after 2 minutes of a light jog start swinging your arms up and down.
3. Do 20 jumping jacks. ( See the YouTube video for instructions)
4. Go to high knees for one minute.
5. Then go straight to butt kicks ( it's like running in a place, but touch your heels to your butt). 1 minute
6. Get on the floor and do mountain climbers for 1 minute.
By this time your heart should be jumping out of your chest, but remember, you don't stop, keep going because only when you push yourself really hard you will get those wanted results.
7. Start doing lounges (7 on each leg) and swing your hands up.
8. Bring the chair (not too high) and do 10 swings on each leg.
9. Jumping jacks for 1 minute.
10. Lay on your stomach and do 10 supermans.
11. Reverse and lay on your back, do 20 stomach crunches. ( Keep your chin up)
12. Mountain climbers for 1 minute.
13. Go back to your chair and do 20 dips.This exercise is great for the back of the arms.
14. Then go down and try to do 10 push ups.
Cool Down:
Breath deep. Stretch your arms, your legs, bring you heart rate down.
Note: Drink plenty of water the day before and stay hydrated.
Try not to take breaks during this workout, but if you need them, they have to be really short. Do not compromise your form and really try do your best.
Your cloth has to be absolutely wet by the time you are done.
And of course, don't forget to keep to your diet, otherwise you are putting all the hard work in trash.
Stay Strong and Focused and really push your limits!!!
