Here’s how I typically finish every workout – after about 45-50 minutes of free weights and machines, I hop on a treadmill or elliptical, immediately feel tired, bored, hungry (or all three) and go home.
If you’re like me (and for your sake, I hope not) you typically attempt a short cardio session after working with weights.
But instead of half-assing it on a row machine or paying way to much attention to the bullshit “fat burning zone” on treadmills, try this 3-minute intense cardio circuit from V Shred.
The exercises are simple to execute and remember, and not that hard to do, but the key is going for the full 3-minutes without stopping.
Here’s the exact routine:
- High Knees (5 Reps)
- Jump Squats (5 Reps)
- Mountain Climbers (5 Reps)
- Situps (5 Reps)
- Mountain Climbers (5 Reps)
- Jump Squats (5 Reps)
- High Knees (5 Reps)
The routine mixes in many different movements that will work the entire body and you’ll be absolutely gassed by the end, as the demonstration proves.
If you’re really looking to up the intensity, up the amount of time. See how many minutes you can last before passing out.
