You Don't Need Any Machines for This Home Cardio Workout
Home workouts take imagination. You've done pushups, situps—maybe even a few planks, since you felt especially inspired. But have you been able to do anything to actually make you break a sweat?
For those of us without any dedicated cardio equipment at home, finding routines that will raise the heart rate can be more of a challenging proposition. Yes, it's doable—but jogging in place and ripping off round after round of jumping jacks feels more like an elementary school gym class than a grown-up workout. You'll probably need something a little more organized to feel satisfied with your sweat session.
Instead of regressing to your primary school self, give this routine from trainer Charlee Atkins, C.S.C.S. a shot. You don't need any gear, just your bodyweight, solid footing, and the energy to go beyond slow, strength-focused movements to get yourself moving.
