5 Effective Cardio Workouts You Can Do At The Gym

Cardio Exercise #5

Hill Climber

You need to use the treadmill for this one. All you need to do is add an incline and walk for 30 minutes; 10 minutes at a time with 2-3 minutes break in the middle. The inclination adds a degree of complexity to it and puts more pressure on your muscle groups. However, you must not graduate to hill climbs directly. Walk for 2-3 minutes and gradually increase the steepness. You can burn about 400-600 calories in 1 hour if you are climbing at a normal pace.

These are some of the most basic machines and equipments that are easily available at the gym. However, you are not required to do a single machine on a particular day. Make your own cardio routine by mixing it all up. It should challenge and motivate you. Apart from these machines, you can do exercises like jump squats, burpees, knee kicks, mountain climbers, Russian twists, kick boxing etc. to get yourself pumping.

Always remember to add cardio to your workout regime as it can intensify it further. But also, never forget to add a cool down session once it is done so that you can recover and repeat it all the next day!
