Snowed In Cardio

Next time:

You are tired from working all day
Depressed over the darkness and bare trees
Frozen from the cold and white snow
Do yourself a favor and don't go to the gym.......

Instead, take advantage of these cardio routines below that require zero equipment and each take less then 10 minutes. OH and that are scientifically proven to boost your metabolism for up to 48 hours. Ah yeaa

There are three levels. I'd recommend people who have worked out for less then six months consecutively start with the first one and everybody else start with the middle before moving on to the last.

The first two workouts are about four minutes long. You can increase the intensity by adding additional sets. The second workout is only about two minutes long. If you do not have a medicine ball, use a basketball or book (3lb - 8 lb). Same rules apply with increasing the intensity. All three are powered by Workout Muse's Hip Hop Tabatas sound track.

You may not get a great shot of the lower extremity in the first video so know that you are kicking one leg in as you simultaneously kick one leg out.

  1. Joe! I like the videos. Good basic workouts that anyone can do! Captures and targets a lot of problem areas that clients often complain about. Also, i love the Upright versions for clients whom no longer have the lower body capability to hold own weights, regular with outstanding varients such as burpies and finally, my personal faveorite, the medicine ball variation. Excellent.

    Keep doing what you are doing,
