Creative Training -- Part 2 Cardio

There are unlimited ways to rev up your cardio routines. So I challenge you today to incorporate some or all of the following techniques. First, what can you do is add a little bit more to your video or cardio machine. Here are some examples:

Videos


At the beginning (after your warm up), middle, or end of your workout you can jope rope, do series of plyometrics, do a series of heart pumping floor or step moves, or some balance and fit training with your bosu.

While typing this I got a great idea. I will choreograph these exercises for you next week and try to post them on my blog. So you guys can see exactly what I'm talking about.


Machines


Bike/Treadmill/Elliptical/Stair Stepper
Hill climb-- increase the resistance 4 times one minute intervals and repeat the cycle and you will be sweating buckets. There are two ways to come out of this you can start back from the beginning or work your way back down.

Sprint ride-- alt one minute at a steady pace with as fast as you sprint one minute and repeat the cycles

Elliptical-- you can go forward 1 min and backward next 1 doing sprint or the hill climb

Play with it-- you can play with the times --- increase and decrease, you can play with the resistance-- increasing the intervals--- just challenge yourself. Don't do the exact same workout everyday-- add some spice.
