10 Workouts to Boost Your Cardio!

1. Stair Climb

Stairs not only bring you to the next level but also serve as a workout equipment. Continuously walk up and down a stairway until you start to sweat in other to increase the heart rate. This can train your heart to work harder thus increase its strength. Skip the elevator when going to work and do this workout before getting into the office or classes!

2. Power Skip

Skipping may look funny for you since it looks like a kids's stuff, but actually it trains your cardio. To begin, raise the right knee up towards the hip while reaching your left arm overhead. Land on of your left foot, and then alternate the skipping motion with the opposite arm and leg. Shoot for 10-15 skips as high as you can go!

3. High Knees

You may look like a footballer. To do this, stand tall and relax. Raise up your right knee as high as you can, and then place the leg down. Alternate the left leg and start picking up the pace. Try this jig for 30 seconds straight.

4. Butt Kick
It may sound funny, because you will literally kick your butt. Jog and at the same time kicking your heels back towards your butt. Make sure the movement is being driven from your hamstrings (back thigh muscle ). Keep it up for a minute straight while picking up the rhythm.

5. Jumping Jack
Jumping jack or star jump. Start with your feet together and hands at your sides. Next, jump both legs out to the side (wider than your hips) while raising your arms overhead. Keep your knees bent as you jump again to bring your feet back together and arms down. That’s it. Now see what 20-30 feels like!
