Workout Wednesday!
This cardio workout can be completed in 10-15 minutes! Yes, that’s it! Many of my clients question when I assign such short workouts but the truth is they are intense and effective!
Pushing yourself and raising your heart rate for short intervals can be just as effective as a longer workout because you are going ALL OUT and you aren’t pacing yourself to keep going for 30 minutes or more.
Benefits of these short and intense workouts include fat loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and increased production of human growth hormone (HGH) which helpsbuild muscle and burn more fat!
If you enjoy steady pace cardio for 30-60 minutes several times a week you absolutely can continue to do it! But if you are short on time, don’t put up a mental block thinking a 10-minute workout will not benefit you. You can replace time with intensity! As always, do complete a quick warm up and cool down in addition to your circuit to prevent injury.
For this circuit you will complete 30-45 seconds of jump rope, high knees, or intense cardio in between each exercise. I do not jump rope and cannot jump rope so I just pretend! Move quickly from one exercise to the next. Take a break if needed but the goal is to work at an all-out intensity when you are working.
Beginners – Choose the lower number of reps and modify as shown in the video demo if needed.
Advanced – Choose a higher number of reps. The last 1-2 reps should be difficult to complete.
