THE CARDIO RELAY WORKOUT

Cardio equipment and steady-state endurance sports like jogging and cycling come to mind when we think of the word “cardio.”

Alternatively, we consider interval training and brief, intense exercise bursts.

However, it actually isn’t either/or!

Cardio exercises can be created in a plethora of ways, and they can even be used to increase muscle mass.

Indeed! You may incorporate both strength and aerobic training into your fitness regimen!

As you develop strength, you can increase your work capacity and receive the metabolic benefits of cardio by utilizing a relay exercise plan, which is a variation of a timed circuit.

If you are pressed for time—especially if you can only visit the gym a few times a week—this is the ideal training plan for you to adopt!

Try this Relay Workout if you want to mix some cardio with strength training or strength training with cardio!

The 30-Minute Relay Strength And Cardio Workout:

Set a timer for 30 minutes and complete as many rounds of the circuit below as possible. Beginners can do shorter distances/lowers reps to start and add reps/distance as they progress. Rest only as needed.

Record how many rounds you complete to beat next time! For the run/ride/row, pick just one to use the entire workout.

Better to do fewer reps of a move but keep moving over doing more reps but have to rest. Also, depending on your fitness level and goals, you can also focus on going heavier for fewer reps over lighter for more!

CIRCUIT:
100-300m Run/Ride/Row
5-10 reps Squat to Press
5-10 reps Inverted Rows
10-15 reps Kettlebell Swings
5-10 reps Corncob Push Ups
5-10 reps Cherry Bombs
