This month, we’re diving into various interval training styles, emphasizing that cardio extends beyond just running or rowing. Short, intense intervals are ideal for home-based fitness routines.
To create your personalized workout, start by selecting a timing structure. A straightforward approach is one minute of intense effort followed by one minute of rest, ensuring you stay disciplined during both phases. (Of course, there are alternative methods to explore.)
Next, choose exercises that elevate your heart rate. High knees, lateral lunges, and jumping jacks are excellent options. The goal is not to exhaust your muscles but to push your cardiovascular system. While burpees suit some, they may be too demanding for others. Tailor your routine to your fitness level, swapping out challenging moves for simpler ones if needed.
