LOOKING TO KICK UP THE CARDIO??

Ok so I am always trying to find ways to get maximum calorie burn in as little time as possible...but who isn't, right? Well, I started surfing the Shape website and stumbled across a new 34 min cardio workout that burns over 400 calories!


Start out on the treadmill with a 5-6min warm up at a speed of 4
then go up to a speed of 5 for 1min then a speed of 6, 7, and 8 for 1min. Finally, max out at a speed of 9 for 30 sec. Cool down at a speed of 4 for a again 5-6min and repeat. 


If running isn't your style then I recommend a 40 min interval training on the elliptical pedaling forward quick and then pedaling backwards on the high incline (this will get your booty workin') - this alone burns around 350 calories 
Adding 20 min on the Stair machine will give you an extra 150 calories.


I usually dedicate one day a week just to a cardio workout. A Cycling class is also fantastic!
