Cardio workout ideas

If you’re tired of all that fat super glued to you, try Cardio exercise. Cardio is the best and healthiest way to lose weight. In fact, it not only aids you in weight loss but helps you become healthier so you can live a fuller and happier life. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to waste hours exercising. Research has shown that exercising 30 minutes a day has some pretty effective results—but only if you use the right exercises.


Below are some Cardio workout ideas that should help you lose weight effectively and efficiently.


  • Squats 

Place your hands behind your head and stand straight. Bend down in a sitting position and hold position for a few seconds. Return to relax position. Repeats these 30-40 times. This is a normal squat. For more effective results, add a jump when you return from the sitting down position.


  • Lunges 

Stand in the same position as the squat; however kneel down on one leg. Repeat this with each leg at least 20 times.


  • Single Arm Dumbbell Swing

Hold a dumbbell in a tight grip and stretch your arm forward in front of your waist. Bend down in a sitting position and swing the dumbbell between your legs. Moving your hip forward, rise up with the dumbbell. Repeat with each arm at least 30 times.


  • Push-up 

Lie down on the ground or on a mat in a push up position. Make sure your hands are placed slightly below your shoulders and that your body is straight. Bend your elbows and raise your body ever so slightly so that your chest is inches above the ground. Thrust yourself enough to force your hands above the floor. Repeat this at least 30 times.
