Fitness Tip of the Day: Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Crazy Cardio Challenge


Today's workout comes from LiveStrongWoman's YouTubeChannel.  It is a crazy cardio circuit challenge from the A-List Look with Valerie Waters series.

It consists of 10 exercises that will keep your heart rate up the entire time tabata-style; working for 20 seconds, resting for 10.  Your lower body will be challenged and you will get some upper body work as well.  Keep track of how many reps you can perform in each 20 second segment.

You are to repeat the circuit 3 times, so you can either repeat the video 2 more times, or follow the printable workout that I linked below.  Note, it's expected that as you get tired that you'll do less reps.  Please be aware of your form as you get tired--keep good form the entire time; move slower it you need to.

You can take this challenge again in 4 - 6 weeks and see how you've improved.

There is no warm-up or cool down/stretch.  Please do those on your own.  They are both extremely important.
