Let’s get something straight, when I say “cardio” I do NOT mean long boring cardio.
If you enjoy running for miles and miles, then hats off to ya!
But if you think you are burning fat, than you are just fooling yourself!
Cardio IS important.
Having better cardio will help you from getting winded, it will improve recovery time, reduce fatigue, improve performance and EVEN increase your brain functioning.
Pretty cool, huh?
Ok, ok… I know you opened this email to see the BEST ways to train cardio.
So here they are:
#5 Heavy Bag Circuits
The Heavy Bag is one the most overlooked piece of training equipment in the gym.
Practicing punch combos, while moving around the bag at a steady pace will allow you to utilize your oxygen at a lower intensity giving you an aerobic workout.
On the other hand, hitting the heavy bag hard or punching for speed can add a higher intensity anaerobic workout.
#4 MMA Bodyweight Circuits
Now, you may not think of “cardio” when you hear bodyweight training but when you combine the right exercises into a circuit you can get an amazing heart pumping, cardio building workout.
Exercises like burpees, push ups, plyometric squats, stationary sprints, mountain climbers and jumping jacks can elevate and strengthen your heart.
#3. Skipping/Jump Rope
The jump rope is an amazing conditioner that is great for the heart. Along with its calorie burning benefits this plyometric movement also improves your coordination.
Jump Rope is one of the most convenient and effective conditioning tools in the history of athletics.   Plain and simple, it works.
#2. Interval or Circuit Training
This is one of the best ways to develop your overall muscle and strength endurance while improving your cardio strength.
Workouts like metabolic resistance circuits, HIIT training and Tabata Intervals all help to build both aerobic and anaerobic systems with high – low intervals.
#1. Hill/Sprint Training
This is the number one way to build superior cardio quickly.
Sprint training will get you get ripped, strong and explosive without jeopardizing your muscle.
Traditional cardio keeps your heart at one single speed while sprint intervals force your body and heart to work harder getting you into shape faster than ever before.
