With all the sitting that takes place in our daily lives, sometimes you just need to get up and move around. When I get anxious, I need a quick go-to workout for elevating my heart rate and sweating it out. Here are my top three favorite quick cardio workouts for a fast burn.
Stairs
Complete 10 rounds of up and down stairs as fast as you can with no breaks. Repeat as needed!
Hill climb or fast walk
Find a steep hill to climb, or simply take a brisk walk around your office building or home — wherever you are, try to get your heart rate up by walking at a challenging pace (faster than your normal gait) and moving your arms.
Cardio indoors or outdoors in place (kettlebell and dumb bells needed)
50 high knees
50 jump squats
50 kettlebell swings
50 walking lunges
50 burpees
50 reverse crunches
50 push-ups
50 overhead presses
Bonus:
