Fun Cardio Idea =)

So after talking with a exercise department college today we thought of an interesting and yet fun cardio idea. Make a play list on your i pod...can be a twenty min. mix or 30 or whatever! But the length of this mix of songs is the length of your workout. In stead of the usual...spending your entire cardio session on the same machine or the same routine you will change the cardio activity you are doing each time the song changes. You can pick 5 diff. activities and repeat through that circuit or pick as many different activities as you want! This is a good fix to occasionally kick boredom and just add a little something different into your routine.
______________
Cardio Ideas
-running (treadmill, outside then stop for other activities, or in place if short on room)
-jumping rope
-jumping jacks
-stair climbing on real or machine..or step ups on a bench
-quick feet
-high knees
-tuck jumps mixed with sprints or squat jacks
-sprints or suicide runs

Be creative, think up some of your own too!! =)
