subject: Cardio Workouts That Get You Out The Gym! (Part 2) [print this page] I've got a further 2 ways to get you out of that boring gym and into some real exercise.
Here They Are;-
Swimming -
Ok I'll admit swimming can be done in the gym.
The thing is not a lot of people do it. Which
is a shame, because it's such a rewarding form
of exercise. You can also if you prefer swim in
the sea, just grab a wetsuit unless your feeling
brave.
I recommend doing sprint swimming. So swim as hard
as you can to do a length of a pool or a similar
distance in the sea followed by a rest period. Not
too long though, 20-40 seconds is a good time. Keep
this up for 30-40 minutes for a very intensive
workout.
You can mix it up with different strokes. So crawl,
breaststroke, sidestroke, backstroke, butterfly etc.
This will be more effective in working more muscle
groups and burning more fat.
The great thing about swimming is that it's not what
I call an impact exercise. Because the waters taking
the strain of the exercise. So there's less chance of
sustaining injury.
Rope Skipping -
Rope skipping is a great full body workout! The plastic
ropes tend to work better than the fabric ones. You can
get up to higher speeds once you get the hang of it.
Try mixing together two legged jumps, one legged jumps,
arm crossovers and double jumps. This will ensure the
intensity is kept at a high level and increase the fat
burning. If you've forgotten how to do those moves just
ask your children for help!
Try doing 15-20 seconds of high bursts of speed followed
by 15-20 seconds recovery where you jump slowly. Keep
repeating this until you have no energy left.
So get out of the gym and start doing some cardio that won't bore you! Just
adding this into your weekly routine can improve your overall effectiveness
when working out.
