5 different types of cardio for february

27th January 2015
I can’t tell you how proud I am when I see the buzz on my news feed at this time of year from people talking about their new fitness routines and reaching their goals. Yeah OK so it might be a little harder to park than normal at your gym but it really is wonderful to see so many people making a change. For me it’s about spicing up my workouts right now as sometimes it can get a little mundane. I especially love mixing up my cardio because lets face it, cardio is boring. There’s just no sugar coating that! So below are my top 5 cardio fail safe options for every day workouts. Sometimes I’ll mix it up by doing 10 mins of each of 15 mins of 2 just so it doesn’t really drag out!   Treadmill Every gym has them and unless your gym is real fancy the view won’t be all that stimulating and the process will 9 times out of 10 be quite arduous. You can spice things up a bit throwing in some HIIT Sprints or an incline here and there. But the important thing is to ensure you bare the load of your body weight so whatever you do, don’t hold on.   Bike Probably my least favourite of the bunch but a great cardio workout none the less. I like to take it leisurely for a minute and then HIIT sprint for 30 seconds, sometimes if I’m training with my PT he likes to whack the resistance up, which often leaves me unable to walk for the next few days.   Boxing This is my absolute favourite type of cardio, I mean who doesn’t want to hit things and lose weight for doing so?!

There’s just no sugar coating that! So below are my top 5 cardio fail safe options for every day workouts. Sometimes I’ll mix it up by doing 10 mins of each of 15 mins of 2 just so it doesn’t really drag out!

 

Treadmill

Every gym has them and unless your gym is real fancy the view won’t be all that stimulating and the process will 9 times out of 10 be quite arduous. You can spice things up a bit throwing in some HIIT Sprints or an incline here and there. But the important thing is to ensure you bare the load of your body weight so whatever you do, don’t hold on.

 

Bike

Probably my least favourite of the bunch but a great cardio workout none the less. I like to take it leisurely for a minute and then HIIT sprint for 30 seconds, sometimes if I’m training with my PT he likes to whack the resistance up, which often leaves me unable to walk for the next few days.

 

Boxing

This is my absolute favourite type of cardio, I mean who doesn’t want to hit things and lose weight for doing so?! I’m yet to go it alone on the bag but I love throwing a punch or 10 at my PT. Sometimes, just somtimes I like to image its someone else standing there with the pads.

But beside the enjoyment boxing is a great high intensity full body workout which incorporates both endurance and cardio, I never fail to leave the gym in a bad mood after this kind of session.

 

Stepper/Stair master

I like to make full use of both whether its 10 minutes on each or a blast on one followed by a quick 5 minutes on the other. Make sure you keep your heels glued down whilst on the stepper and you’ll enjoy a glute workout as well. The two combined leave me questioning my sanity hah!

 

Skipping

The beauty of skipping? It can be done just about anywhere which is great for travelling or those days when you don’t have enough time to hit the gym. Just 15-20minutes of skipping can burn considerable calories whilst also toning muscle.

I just love the fact it fits in my suitcase!

 

What cardio will you be doing tonight?

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
