Here’s How To Make Your Cardio Workout ‘Harder’ Without Having To Add Time
Once you’ve been doing the same cardio workout for a while it can become a little stale and you may even begin to find it easy, which means that you aren’t challenging yourself.
You need to push yourself in your workouts so you can progress and get more gains and a great way of doing that instead of just adding time and repeating cycles is to make the exercises that you do in your workout harder. A little like adding weight to a barbell.
If you’re performing burpees you can do a couple of things to make the exercise harder, you can go into a power jump instead of just a straight leg jump, you can do alternating one leg pushups.
The idea is to use harder variations of the exercise movements you’re already doing in your current workout. This will make the workout more intense and place a harder workload on your body.
By doing this you are not just adding time and more reps and cycles to your workouts, time you could be spending doing other productive things in your life. You can keep the workouts you love but make them harder by following this advice.
