    Overview

    All you need for this home cardio workout is your own bodyweight, making it very easy to do in your own living room. That means you can turn on whatever music you like, however loud you like it, and wear whatever you want to get in your own private sweat session - oh yeah, and it’s completely free!



    Bodyweight cardio like this is far better than gym cardio equipment for the health of your body and your proprioception (the unconscious sense of where your body is spatially in relation to itself and your environment). These exercises teach you coordination, balance, and control over your own body, something that you just can’t get from thousands and thousands of repetitions of the same movement while you’re using a machine that does a good part of the work for you.

    Move at your own pace during this routine but be sure to push yourself. We give low impact modifications all throughout, so choose a version of each exercise that works for you.
