At-Home Cardio Workout

Life | 05.30.16

Whether you’re dealing with bad weather or just don’t really feel like leaving the house, this At-Home Cardio Workout is here to save the day!

At-Home Cardio Workout!

I’ve really been trying to up my cardio game here lately. I actually used to be a cardio queen, but lately I’ve been so focused on building muscle that my cardio has kind of been on the back burner. For some reason, my body has a really hard time building and keeping muscle. Meanwhile, my sister (same parents) rarely works out and is super buff. WHY? Nobody knows. Thanks, genes! 😉

While I’m proud to say that I’ve been killing the Equipment-Free 30-Minute Total Body Workout and the Beach-Ready Total-Body Workout (I like to mix these throughout the week), rainy days and working late into the evenings has had me choosing Strawberry Chia Seed Popsicles over getting out and getting my heart rate up.

And anyway, while other states might still have some spring left to enjoy, we’re already in full summer heat down here in Texas! Sorry running, but seeing as I’m not an early-morning-before-the-hot-sun-comes-out type of person, At-Home Cardio Workout it is! 😉 Anyone with me???

      Haha, love your honestly, Amy! I KNOW what you mean. Sometimes I love cardio, but often I have to force myself to do it. I definitely think it’s great to have an at-home option! Let me know what you think of the workout!
