How To Exercise Your Heart.

Your heart is a muscle. All muscles need nutrition and exercise to stay healthy. You can brisk-walk, run, do cardio, treadmill or whatever to exercise your heart muscles. The main idea is to get your heart rate up. Once your heart rate is up (you’re huffing and puffing), then you know you’ve given your heart muscles a workout.

If you’re looking to get your heart rate up with a great cardio workout, but don’t have a lot of time in your day, then this quick cardio workout is for you. This workout takes four exercises and places them into a HIIT format circuit that will be sure to get your heart rate up and leave you sweating. And even better, this workout can easily be repeated to if you have more time to fit a slightly longer workout in.

In this cardio workout, you will be repeating the following four exercises twice. Do each exercise for 20 seconds with 10 seconds of jogging in place between each exercise:

1) Fake Jump Rope
2) Cross Jacks
3) Skaters
4) Burpees

Since this is a quick workout, you want to do the highest level of intensity that you feel you can perform each exercise at to maximize your results. Be sure to be safe though and don’t push yourself to unsafe levels of intensity.
