Cardio workouts and HIIT workouts are very different. HIIT is absolutely one of my favourites however low impact cardio such as walking (daily steps target etc), swimming, cycling all contribute to improved cardiovascular health, great for mood boosting, burns energy and still allows for recovery. You have to be aware when your body needs a complete rest also.
This full body cardio workout is a perfect session to burn that energy whilst not over exerting on those active rest days or after a weight session.
No equipment required, you will simply need a mat and a bottle of water.
Please remember that you can’t out train a poor diet.
Nutrition, a training plan, training with intensity and activity levels outside of specific workouts all go hand in hand in order to see and feel results.
The timer will be on for 45 seconds of work for each exercise and no rest. Ensure you pace yourself as there is no specific rest!
