Dance Cardio

If music happens to be one of your main fitness motivators, but it simply doesn’t work when it comes to running, it’s time to give dance cardio a shot. In addition to helping you burn some major calories, dance cardio is also great for stress relief and you’ll leave each workout with a smile on your face.

Boxing

Speaking of workouts that are great for stress relief, boxing also falls under that category. In addition to helping you burn some major calories, boxing is amazing because it allows you to target several muscle groups at the same time and get a full-body workout.

Types of Cardio

Low-Intensity Steady State

This type of cardio can usually be done walking at an incline on the treadmill, jogging, circuit training, cycling, or using an elliptical. They’re usually longer in duration and range from 30 to 90 minutes. If you have weak joints or are recovering from injuries, this is the best type of cardio to do.

Moderate-Intensity Cardio

Moderate-intensity cardio can be done at a steady pace or done at a high-speed with intervals of rest. It’s usually performed between 20 to 60 minutes because it’s more tiring and intense than low-intensity steady-state cardio and you’ll be burning more calories.

High-Intensity Interval Training

High-intensity training is done at a steady pace and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is intense bursts of activity with periods of rest. Because it’s tiring and intense, it’s done between 10 to 30 minutes. It’s usually not done in high volumes of before strength training because it’s intense.

How to Maximize Cardio Workouts

To track your heart rate, get a fitness tracker or chest strap heart rate monitor. Also, separate cardio and strength training and perform them on different days to maximize the effects of both.
