Cardio Workout

Ever get winded just going up a flight of stairs? If so, intervals at a moderate to high intensity are a great way to conquer that. Every body's heart rate is unique, but thankfully it is something we can train, and increase. Start simple and make sure you get a good warm up in. From there, try using sprints or hills or a combination of both to get your heart rate up as high as you can. If new to intervals, try and maintain this intensity for 3o sec. - 1min. If you are already in good shape shoot for 2-3 minutes. Make sure you give your self enough time to recover in between. You want to let your heart rate come down. Repeat 3-5 times or more if in good shape. Shoot for 1 - 2 x a week.
