Most of us don't enjoy doing cardio for one reason; it can become too boring. Whatever your fitness level may be cardio can be enjoying and you can progressively improve your stamina. Here are some suggestions to create an cardio workout that is not boring.
Begin setting the tone by creating and setting a goal. Make sure it is manageable, measurable, and attainable. If its running a marathon, or even just improving your running form, start by setting a goal. An ideal goal is measurable but also attainable . For example, if weight loss is your goal start by breaking down cardio such as running 3X a week for 30 minutes. Once your able to run for a straight 30 minutes set incremental goals to increase your minutes, or decrease your time.
Next, create a foundation. Implement steady times and days that you will do cardio. Also try involving others by doing cardio in groups for competition, or involving the outdoors. Once you create a steady foundation and something refreshing to look forward to you will completely avoid boredom.
Here are some suggestions of some alternative cardio workouts:
Workout 1:
Burpees
Jumping Jacks
Assisted Partner Sprints ( Have a partner pull you back while you propel forward)
Jump Rope
Lunges
Workout 2:
Interval Sprints
Mountain Climbers
Stair Runs
Jump Squats
Clap Pushups
Keep in mind that cardio will always be cardio and most of the time many of us don't enjoy it. As long as you mix up your workouts and set a goal you can overcome cardio boredom.
