Home Cardio Workout: 15 Minute Cardio Boot Camp

Blast fat, bump up your metabolism, and get total body toning with this 15 minute workout made of home cardio exercises (for original printable cardio routine, see below).

Not a single one of these exercises requires a bit of equipment, meaning that all you need in order to complete this home cardio workout is a little bit of motivation (and maybe some music).

How to do this Routine
Do each exercise for the full minute, taking 10 to 20 seconds of rest between each different cardio exercise (longer periods of rest will lengthen the total workout time). Do the entire routine three times through in order to make a 15 minute workout. Depending on your cardiovascular health, you may need to stop and take a break during the minute long bursts of exercise. If this is the case, give yourself a short breather before going straight back into the exercise in order to finish out the full minute.

High Knees

Mountain Climbers

Jumping Lunges

Burpees

Lateral Jumps

Cool Down and Stretch


Repeat this lineup of simple bodyweight exercise 3 times through to burn roughly 200 calories.

How did you do? Did this short (but demanding) workout have you gasping for air? If you’re looking for a way to get into better shape and gauge your progress, take the Fitness Blender Fit Test once every 14-28 days.

Throwing this home cardio boot camp sporadically into your daily routine can help stoke your metabolism, meaning that you will be able to burn more calories; even while you are resting.

Cardio is great for burning calories but it’s very important to remember to add a strength training component to your workout regime. Adding muscle content will help boost your body’s overall rate of caloric burn, which makes it easier to stay lean and at a healthy bodyweight. Check out Fitness Blender’s free home workout videos for ideas of how to build strength and tone up without ever even going to the gym.

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work. It might seem foreign to some people who have differing goals, but saying “just eat more!” to someone who is trying to gain weight is not unlike saying “just eat less!” to someone who needs to lose weight. Relationships with food can be complicated. How to eat to gain weight and muscle the healthy way Eat often - Try to eat 6 times a day; 3 meals and 3 snacks.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
