My Favorite Cardio Workout. Boost Speed And Burn Fat.
Most people don’t like to train cardio.
It’s usually viewed as an endless running session, on a treadmill that leads to nowhere, getting little to no results at all in the process.
So today I will share my favorite workout, to make sure you burn fat, and build solid strength and speed!
The goal is to get your heart rate up, sweat bullets and exhale a lot of CO2. Hint: combining these 3 things is the ONLY way to burn fat.
So click on each title below to watch the videos!
1/ Let’s start with some agility work with the skaters runs - back pedal combo.
Go for 8-10 steps, and pause for a split second every time you land, then come back to your initial position running backwards at a moderate pace.
Repeat the process for 10 sets.
Rest 30-60 sec between sets.
2/ We’ll continue with some broad precision jumps, for explosive cardio strength and agility.
The goal is to go as far as possible with a clean landing on each jump. This means you should be able to stay where you are after landing. Precision is key!
Go for 8 jumps and repeat for 10 sets.
Rest 30-60 sec between sets.
3/ Finally we’ll burn out the left over energy with some jump rope double-unders.
The goal is to skip the rope twice under your feet on each jump.
Go for 10-30+ jumps and repeat for 10 sets. Substitute with single jumps and double the amount of repetitions if you can’t do double-unders yet.
Rest 60-90 sec between sets.
This workout is guaranteed to make you burn fat, build speed and cardio strength.
Adjust the overall amount of sets depending on your level:
- Beginners can reduce sets by 50%
- Intermediate can reduce sets by 25%
- Advanced should complete the workout as is.
