Easy To Follow Cardio Workouts
Every week I publish a short Home Workout for my clients to supplement their Bootcamp workouts. When they cannot make it to Bootcamp or just to up their weekly training session count, these are some of the workouts that they do. These short training sessions take less than 30 minutes (some a lot less) and require no special equipment. All must be preceded by a 3-5 minutes all over warm up and a cooldown/stretch afterwards. Do not neglect this!
WORKOUT ONE • 10 squats • 10 pop squats • 10 lunges (5 each leg) • 10 star jump squats • Rest 30 seconds • REPEAT FOR 15 MINUTES
This is a real leg burner, but should get your heart racing as well. Come on have a go, stop using excuses and just find 20 minutes and make a difference!
WORKOUT TWO • 30 seconds of star jumps or step ups-fast • 15 seconds of rest • 30 seconds of static plank position • 15 seconds of rest REPEAT FOR 15 MINUTES (5 rounds)
WORKOUT THREE 60 seconds of jump rope 20 seconds plank/10 seconds rest
Repeat 5 times. Rest for 1 minute and repeat 5 times again.
Total skipping time 10 minutes. Total workout time 16 minutes (with rest) That is all there is to it.
WORKOUT FOUR 1 minute jump rope 30 seconds rest 1 minute high knees 30 seconds rest
REPEAT FOR A TOTAL OF 18 MINUTES (6 x through)
WORKOUT FIVE • Mark an area about 15 metres long • Sprint from one end to the other 5 times touching the ground at each end. So that is 10 lengths (150m) • Stop and immediately do 10 squats with your hands behind your head. Keep your head and chest up high If you want to challenge yourself, hold onto a weight. Beginners-no weight though please!!!! • Sprint again as before up and back 5 times • Squat 9 times • Sprint again up and back 5 times • Squat 8 times • Repeat reducing the squats by 1 with each set. • When you reach 5 squats start at the top again. So go back to 10 squats, sprints, 9 squats etc back to 5 again.
Make sure you go for a good walk after this one and spend a few minutes stretching your legs, back and butt thoroughly.
