How To Avoid A Cardio Slump

Do you ever get tired of the same old cardio week after week? It is so important to always change up your cardio routine to avoid burn-out as well as to keep your metabolism fired up. You must also learn to enjoy your cardio workouts and to create a physical and mental challenge. New cardiovascular activities are critical to prevent boredom and establish lifetime fitness habits. Learn to push your limits and you will gain confidence and success. Below are 10 ideas to vary your cardiovascular routine, and remember this is just 10 and your options are endless.

  1. Sprints - Whether on the track, road, or grass, sprints will get you heart and lungs pumping faster.
  2. Swimming - Swimming is a great total body exercise as well as a great non-impact activity.
  3. Cycling - A road bike, a spinning class, or a recumbent bike offer a great heart-pumping workout.
  4. Yoga - Yoga offers awesome benefits such as clarity of mind, a good sweat, and flexibility. Try a yoga class or a yoga home video.
  5. Kickboxing - Another class that is an excellent cardio workout. Try martial arts or just a fun boxing class. Also available on home video.
  6. Rowing - A rowing machine is about as close to rowing that most of us will ever get. But it is a great way to work your core, back, and legs at the same time.
  7. Jumping Rope - One of the best workouts you can do!! Remember how fun it was as a kid? You don't even need to do the double-dutch, but simple intervals will provide a strenuous workout.
  8. Mountain Biking - There are miles of trails in Tulsa that the whole family can enjoy. Just make sure you have your safety gear.
  9. Rollerblading - You can use the same trails for roller-blading, another fun family cardio workout.
  10. Running hills or steps - Challenge yourself to running up some local hills or a stadium stairs for a super cardio workout.

Creating variation in your cardio routine will keep your metabolism running, decrease boredom, and eliminate burnout to allow you to have a lifetime of health and fitness. Challenge yourself to the next level and you will be surprised what you can accomplish!
