I received a great question from one of my Rapid Fat Loss Cardio customers the other day.
8 years ago she broke her tailbone, and though she's been loving the shorter, more intense interval workouts, sitting on a spin bike was bothering her booty a lot.
So, I sent her the following 2 videos showing great low-impact, equipment-free cardio exercises to use instead, so check them out:
Body Weight Cardio Interval Workout A- 20-10 Tabatas
Body Weight Cardio Interval Workout B- 20-10 Tabatas
Now, let's take this a step further...
For the longest time I have believed that running sprints was an unparalleled fat loss exercise for interval workouts.
But over the past year I have seen equal or better results for both myself and my clients by substituting total body strength exercises for running.
Let's take a look at a classic example of total body strength exercise taken from QUICKIE Workouts Vol. I- One Exercise Workouts:
The squat to row is a total body exercise, just like running is, but WITHOUT THE IMPACT on your joints!
In fact, if you look closely, the squat to row is a essentially like a rowing machine that's made more effective by being able to perform the exercise standing vs. seated! Plus you'll save a thousand dollars by using the band instead...
So if you are looking for safer, lower-impact alternatives to running (or using machines for your cardio interval workouts), then be sure to use the suggestions I gave today ;)
Crank it!
