Cardio At Home For Weight Loss

This article talks about how you can do cardio at home for weight loss, without any equipment. If you don't like going to the gym or if you're on the road, this is a great way to do you cardio. You can get as intense as you want or you can choose to be more relaxed, you have more control.

There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced exercises that I will cover here. Despite the rankings, there is plenty of intensity in all the routines. Whether you are doing beginner or advanced exercises, you will be sure to break a sweat. They are no more or less intense; they just have more complexities to them.

After you spend a couple of weeks getting used to the beginner ones, move up to intermediate and so on. You can be easily bored with the same things you have to do all the time. You can get better results by switching routines around and keeping yourself on your toes. After you let your body grow accustomed to a particular exercise, your development can plateau, which is where variety comes in.

Sometimes, it can be hard to understand how to do a move from just he description. At the end of the article, I have attached a link to one of my blog articles. That article contains video demonstrations on how to do each one of these.

Beginner Exercises

Everyone in the world is aware of jumping jacks. All you have to do is keep a straight back. There's nothing to it; just combine the rest of your exercises with jumping jacks and you'll start to get the results you desire. Try for 30 jumping jacks; barring that, go as far as you are able, and get yourself to that point.

Squat Thrust: Enter a pushup position and hot a bit, moving your legs up next to your arms.

Long Jump Forward/2 Jumps Back: Go into the squat position by jumping forward, then leap back twice to get where you were before. Jump really far in your first jump forward.

Intermediate Exercises

Side Lunge: Do your lunges, but step to your side rather than stepping forward.

Jumping Lunges: Alternate legs as you jump into your lunges. During this exercise, there is no forward movement. This video will show you the best way to do it.

Mountain Climber: Start like you are doing pushups. Pull a knee up to your chest, alternating as you go. Think of it like running as you do pushups.

Advanced Exercises

Burpees: Perform a pushup, enter into a squat position and push up with your legs as you jump. Head back to your first position and start over again. This video will show you how to perform this exercise:

Bicycle: Lying down on the floor, fold hands behind your head and cross your knees and elbows across your body. This video can give you the proper form:

Dynamic Squats: All while jumping, enter into squat, lunge, and squat positions - go as high as possible and land into the squat position, alternating legs as you go, entering into lunges and then squats, repeating until you are done.

I have an article on my blog that has video demonstrations on each of these moves. To watch them it, click here => Cardio At Home. For more articles on how to get ripped, building muscle and fat loss, visit my blog, at Get Ripped.
