]]> There are so many types of cardio workouts that can help you burn calories and stay in shape in a short period of time. In case you’re having trouble choosing the perfect cardio activity, here are some awesome workouts approved by celebrities.

Tabata

Tabata is a type of HIIT training that’s super challenging and great for torching calories. Only 30 minutes of Tabata workout can help burn around 400 calories, so it’s no wonder that celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson use it to stay in shape.

Jumping Rope

Jump rope workouts have become super popular over the last couple of years because they’re fun and great for burning calories. Even celebrities like Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, and Kim Kardashian swear by this workout, so make sure to give it a try.

Elliptical

This is a low-impact workout that’s great for burning calories and body fat and for improving your stamina. The elliptical is probably one of the most useful cardio machines you can invest in and celebrities like Jennifer Aniston absolutely love it.

Cycling

Not a fan of gyms and exhausting HIIT workouts? Not a problem, because cycling is another awesome low-impact activity that’ll help you burn calories. Even celebrities like Naomi Watts, Justin Theroux, Hugh Jackman, and Kate Hudson use their bikes to stay active every day.

]]> Pamela Reif’s YouTube channel is filled with countless amazing workouts, and each new video she shares is a gift for her fans. She celebrated Valentine’s Day by dropping an epic cardio workout you can do to the beat of retro love songs.

It only takes 10 minutes to go through this workout, and the great selection of songs makes it super-easy. Reif gave us a major throwback by picking old hits of the disco era, including Hot Chocolate’s “You Sexy Thing” and Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.

Like the majority of her workouts, this one can be performed without any equipment. Moves are pretty easy to copy, and the list of exercises she included features several different variations of squats, hip circles, arm movements, and side steps.

Reif also took a moment to thank her fans for helping her reach another major milestone on her channel: getting six million YouTube subscribers.

“I am super grateful for this unbelievably fit and motivated community. It’s my pleasure to be your online training friend & you can be sure: I’m always available for you,” wrote Reif.

It’s the form of exercise that gets your blood pumping, greases the joints and tendons, primes the muscles, and sparks metabolism.

]]> Theme parks aren’t only fun and a great day out, they can also be very good forms of cardio. Here are five reasons that theme parks can be surprisingly good cardio.

G-Force

As you ride roller coasters, the G-force causes the muscles all over your body to tighten. This process of tension and contraction gives your muscles a workout.

Walking All Day

Another added bonus is that you have to walk everywhere. And since some theme parks cover hundreds of acres, you can end up walking a rather long way.

Adrenaline

The adrenaline that your body releases as you anticipate the rides and experience the excitement makes your heart beat faster. This can help the blood flow around the body and cause the veins and capillaries to contract.

On Your Feet All Day

Walking, standing in lines, and waiting for long periods on your feet is a good total body workout. Standing up engages your core muscles and helps keep your body strong and solid.

Endorphins

Riding the roller coaster helps the brain release endorphins. These endorphins send happy signals around the body, quickening the heart, relaxing the muscles, and releasing stress.

]]> Rowing machines can be a great way of strengthening your muscles, training your breathing, and reinforcing your mind. Most gyms come decked out with rowing machines for general use, but you can also invest in one at home. Here are four benefits of working out with a rowing machine.

Whole Body Workout

The great thing about rowing machines is that they don’t focus on one part of the body to the exclusion of the rest. They workout the whole body evenly.

Cardio

Rowing machines are a great form of cardio. They improve the body’s capacity for sustained activity, improve the heart, and breathing systems.

Builds Muscle

But the impressive thing about rowing is that it doesn’t just work on cardio, but is a tremendous way to build muscle all over your body at the same time. This makes you physically fit and strong at the same time and to the same degree.

Trains Breathing

The combination of cardio and muscle workout makes rowing an excellent activity for training the breath. How you breathe is crucial to the quality of your performance. By learning to breathe steadily and strongly despite hard activity, your overall fitness abilities are improved.

Treadmill Workouts For Fat Loss

In the first minute do a light jog to warm up your legs then increase the speed to your running pace for 1 minute, then run faster for a minute, then sprint for another minute. Walk for a minute. Increase the incline by 3% and do the same run, fast run, sprint. You can keep increasing the incline and doing the same 1-1-1 for another 3 rounds. Make sure you do a light jog to cool down/recover at the end.

15-Minute Treadmill HIIT workout

Do a 2-minute warm-up jog and then for the next 5 minutes increase the incline depending on your fitness. Decrease the speed for a recovery jog and then for a 2 minutes run fast. Decrease the speed again for a recovery jog and for the last 4 minutes do 30-second sprints followed by 30-second recoveries.

Treadmill Workout For Improving Speed

Estimate your fastest 1-minutes sprint that you are able to do on a treadmill. Start your workout 4km/h below that speed. Do a 2-3 minute jog and then for the first 1.5 minutes run at the speed under your max increasing the incline by 1% every 30 seconds. Recover on 0% incline for 1.5 minutes. Continue this sequence for 9 minutes, increasing your incline 1%. For the last 7 minutes do 30 seconds on a 7% incline and then drop the incline and add 1km/hr, recover and then add 2km/hr until you reach your maximum speed. Make sure to cool down at the end.

#TealsTipTuesday – Treadmill Edition ••• I’m pretty sure that I’ve logged more treadmill miles in the first 8 weeks of my @bostonmarathon training cycle than my entire running life combined. Spending this much time on the 'mill has definitely been an adjustment but luckily I’ve picked up a few hacks that have really helped. ••• 1⃣ For runs without certain target paces, I am always increasing and decreasing the pace and incline by .1 or .2. This more closely matches running outside and also helps break things up. I play games in my head like when the time hits 22:22, I’ll increase .2 for both pace and incline etc. 2⃣ Embrace the suck. I’ve started thinking of the treadmill as a way to improve my mental toughness and just acknowledge that it’s going to be harder than running outside. I know that thinking back to all of the times I grinded out 10+ miles on the treadmill will help carry me through when Boston gets tough. 3⃣ Save something for treadmill time. I always watch Netflix on my iPad during longer runs and having #Cheer to watch has actually made me look forward to my indoor runs. I also save podcast episodes that I’m excited about to listen to during the short stuff. 4⃣ The biggest change I’ve made to make treadmill running more manageable is to focus on my effort and not the actual pace. I have always found that any pace on the treadmill feels 10x harder than it does outside. Which means that I reallyyyy struggle during long marathon or threshold paced efforts and actually can’t make it through without falling off which completely destroys my confidence. I’ve run long enough to know what those paces feel like outside so that’s what I do. I throw my towel over the screen and increase the pace until it matches what I know I’d be feeling like outside. This has helped me 1 million percent. ••• Do you have any other treadmill hacks? I still have a lot of miles ahead of me!

One question many of us have is whether cardio or strength training is better when we want to burn calories? Well, it’s not a simple answer. Cardio exercises burn more calories in the moment and strength training exercises have a prolonged calorie-burn effect because it’s done at a greater intensity and your body needs more oxygen after your workout to recover and repair muscles.

According to Women’s Health the most effective exercises to burn calories are aerobic exercises. These are the ten best calorie-burning exercises in order of the best.

  1. Jumping Rope
  2. Running Up Hill/Stair Sprints
  3. Kickboxing
  4. Cycling Intervals
  5. Running
  6. Kettlebell Circuits
  7. Stationary Bike
  8. Rowing Machine
  9. Loaded Kettleball Carries
  10. Stairs

When the weather is nice, you can bike outside and combine the workout with some quality time spent in nature. During winter and when it’s raining, you can have the same benefits by using a stationary bike.

A flat path is perfect for when you’re just starting. If you want a more intense workout, try mountain biking also known as off-road biking. Depending on where you live, various terrains may be available. Mountain biking will workout your whole body as it’s more difficult to navigate hills and different surfaces. Most stationary bikes offer settings that you can change when you want a more efficient workout.

Remember to cool down your body and slow down the heart rate by cycling at a slower pace for five minutes at the end of every workout.

]]> Theme parks aren’t only fun and a great day out, they can also be very good forms of cardio. Here are five reasons that theme parks can be surprisingly good cardio.

G-Force

As you ride roller coasters, the G-force causes the muscles all over your body to tighten. This process of tension and contraction gives your muscles a workout.

Walking All Day

Another added bonus is that you have to walk everywhere. And since some theme parks cover hundreds of acres, you can end up walking a rather long way.

Adrenaline

The adrenaline that your body releases as you anticipate the rides and experience the excitement makes your heart beat faster. This can help the blood flow around the body and cause the veins and capillaries to contract.

On Your Feet All Day

Walking, standing in lines, and waiting for long periods on your feet is a good total body workout. Standing up engages your core muscles and helps keep your body strong and solid.

Endorphins

Riding the roller coaster helps the brain release endorphins. These endorphins send happy signals around the body, quickening the heart, relaxing the muscles, and releasing stress.

]]> Rowing machines can be a great way of strengthening your muscles, training your breathing, and reinforcing your mind. Most gyms come decked out with rowing machines for general use, but you can also invest in one at home. Here are four benefits of working out with a rowing machine.

Whole Body Workout

The great thing about rowing machines is that they don’t focus on one part of the body to the exclusion of the rest. They workout the whole body evenly.

Cardio

Rowing machines are a great form of cardio. They improve the body’s capacity for sustained activity, improve the heart, and breathing systems.

Builds Muscle

But the impressive thing about rowing is that it doesn’t just work on cardio, but is a tremendous way to build muscle all over your body at the same time. This makes you physically fit and strong at the same time and to the same degree.

Trains Breathing

The combination of cardio and muscle workout makes rowing an excellent activity for training the breath. How you breathe is crucial to the quality of your performance. By learning to breathe steadily and strongly despite hard activity, your overall fitness abilities are improved.

]]> Treadmill workouts are becoming more popular over time, and you don’t have to sign up to a studio to use one. You just need a basic gym membership and you are ready to go. There is a workout for everyone. Here are some great treadmill workouts for you to enjoy and you’ll feel good after.

Treadmill Workouts For Fat Loss

In the first minute do a light jog to warm up your legs then increase the speed to your running pace for 1 minute, then run faster for a minute, then sprint for another minute. Walk for a minute. Increase the incline by 3% and do the same run, fast run, sprint. You can keep increasing the incline and doing the same 1-1-1 for another 3 rounds. Make sure you do a light jog to cool down/recover at the end.

15-Minute Treadmill HIIT workout

Do a 2-minute warm-up jog and then for the next 5 minutes increase the incline depending on your fitness. Decrease the speed for a recovery jog and then for a 2 minutes run fast. Decrease the speed again for a recovery jog and for the last 4 minutes do 30-second sprints followed by 30-second recoveries.

Treadmill Workout For Improving Speed

Estimate your fastest 1-minutes sprint that you are able to do on a treadmill. Start your workout 4km/h below that speed. Do a 2-3 minute jog and then for the first 1.5 minutes run at the speed under your max increasing the incline by 1% every 30 seconds. Recover on 0% incline for 1.5 minutes. Continue this sequence for 9 minutes, increasing your incline 1%. For the last 7 minutes do 30 seconds on a 7% incline and then drop the incline and add 1km/hr, recover and then add 2km/hr until you reach your maximum speed. Make sure to cool down at the end.

#TealsTipTuesday – Treadmill Edition ••• I’m pretty sure that I’ve logged more treadmill miles in the first 8 weeks of my @bostonmarathon training cycle than my entire running life combined. Spending this much time on the 'mill has definitely been an adjustment but luckily I’ve picked up a few hacks that have really helped. ••• 1⃣ For runs without certain target paces, I am always increasing and decreasing the pace and incline by .1 or .2. This more closely matches running outside and also helps break things up. I play games in my head like when the time hits 22:22, I’ll increase .2 for both pace and incline etc. 2⃣ Embrace the suck. I’ve started thinking of the treadmill as a way to improve my mental toughness and just acknowledge that it’s going to be harder than running outside. I know that thinking back to all of the times I grinded out 10+ miles on the treadmill will help carry me through when Boston gets tough. 3⃣ Save something for treadmill time. I always watch Netflix on my iPad during longer runs and having #Cheer to watch has actually made me look forward to my indoor runs. I also save podcast episodes that I’m excited about to listen to during the short stuff. 4⃣ The biggest change I’ve made to make treadmill running more manageable is to focus on my effort and not the actual pace. I have always found that any pace on the treadmill feels 10x harder than it does outside. Which means that I reallyyyy struggle during long marathon or threshold paced efforts and actually can’t make it through without falling off which completely destroys my confidence. I’ve run long enough to know what those paces feel like outside so that’s what I do. I throw my towel over the screen and increase the pace until it matches what I know I’d be feeling like outside. This has helped me 1 million percent. ••• Do you have any other treadmill hacks? I still have a lot of miles ahead of me!

One question many of us have is whether cardio or strength training is better when we want to burn calories? Well, it’s not a simple answer. Cardio exercises burn more calories in the moment and strength training exercises have a prolonged calorie-burn effect because it’s done at a greater intensity and your body needs more oxygen after your workout to recover and repair muscles.

According to Women’s Health the most effective exercises to burn calories are aerobic exercises. These are the ten best calorie-burning exercises in order of the best.

  1. Jumping Rope
  2. Running Up Hill/Stair Sprints
  3. Kickboxing
  4. Cycling Intervals
  5. Running
  6. Kettlebell Circuits
  7. Stationary Bike
  8. Rowing Machine
  9. Loaded Kettleball Carries
  10. Stairs

When the weather is nice, you can bike outside and combine the workout with some quality time spent in nature. During winter and when it’s raining, you can have the same benefits by using a stationary bike.

A flat path is perfect for when you’re just starting. If you want a more intense workout, try mountain biking also known as off-road biking. Depending on where you live, various terrains may be available. Mountain biking will workout your whole body as it’s more difficult to navigate hills and different surfaces. Most stationary bikes offer settings that you can change when you want a more efficient workout.

Remember to cool down your body and slow down the heart rate by cycling at a slower pace for five minutes at the end of every workout.
