Ready for a workout?
Try this Cardio – Strength Combo Workout I put together (before I started spending all my time training for the marathon!). Circuits are a great way to combine some cardio with your strength training – not only do these circuit include a 2 minute cardio component, you are also keeping your heart rate up by moving from one exercise to the next without rest. At the end of one circuit, you then rest 2 minutes before moving on to the next circuit.
The cardio portion of each circuit can be whatever you want – jumprope, treadmill, elliptical, spin bike, jumping jacks – whatever is easy to fit into the workout!
As always, make sure the weights you’re using for each exercise are heavy enough that the last couple of reps feel challenging. Let me know how it goes when you try this!
I love mixing cardio and strength workouts (especially if I’m short on time or just doing a little bonus workout). I pinned this to refer to later. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for pinning! 🙂
