Shake Up Your Cardio Routine With One Simple Movement

Here is a pretty fun and intense cardio routine to break up the monotony of the treadmill, elliptical, or StepMill!

Start off your 45-60 minute cardio session by performing 50 Burpees!

Remember, to start a timer and see how long it takes you to perform 50 Burpees.

THEN...

Subtract that time from your total cardio session length and finish out the remaining time on one of your usual cardio machines (or outside if you like running or jogging outside).

Here is a quick example of Burpees and how to perform them correctly:


Knock it out and let us know how much more intense your cardio session was because of the Burpees!

Take A Break!

Has your motivation for the weight room, cardio deck, and Group X classes here at 360 Fitness waned?

Do you find youself dreading your own workouts or your scheduled workouts with your Personal Trainer?

Here is a friendly reminder to TAKE A BREAK!

You are NOT going to regress THAT MUCH if you take 3-4 days off from dieting, working out, and generally stressing about your weight loss goals!

If you get right back on the program, you may even find that you have gained a bit of muscle from being in a caloric excess for a short amount of time!

Taking a break may be the best thing you have ever done!

So, don't wait till your 5-6 days of working out every week makes you sick, and you give up on working out completely before taking a break!

Do us a favor!

Remember, that rest and recovery is just as important as breaking down and re-building!
