Day #4 Aerobic Challenge

Our program has our clients doing a 20 min. cardio or aerobic workout
3 times a week. This can be done in the pool, on the road, on a tread mill, a elliptical machine, or just moving around your house. Today I will suggest a 20 min cardio workout that changes each minute to keep your body guessing, increasing and and decreasing intensity keeps your body from getting comfortable, which keeps you in fat burning mode. This workout requires no equipment, except your body weight, and little space and time.

Complete the following exercises for 1 minute each, repeat set 4 times for a 20 minute workout

1. jog in place
2. alternating right leg side leap, left leg side leap
3. jumping jacks
4. in and out football drill
5. high knees

Suggestions: don't forget to eat your access bar to fuel your workout and to keep you from getting sore, keep a water bottle near by to drink during exercise #1, push off and land on balls of feet to limit shock to joints, exercise #5 should be challenging to complete for the full minute, if it is not, increase workout intensity.

  1. great workout, and completely doable around 2 young boys and in a small area! just make sure the kids don't try and slip past you when you're jumping side to side, collision is inevitable :P
    I'm dripping, got my heart rate up, and feel like I got a good workout hitting all my muscles, I challenged my arms by doing full swings on the side to sides, jumping jacks and high knees. Thanks Georgia!
