Intolerable cardio

Can't stand cardio in the gym but still want to fit it into your program?

Here's  a few ways to help you fit that extra cardio into your session every time!

Buddy Up!

Training with a partner will not only help you on the gym floor allowing you to safely lift more weight with a spot but will also give you someone to have a conversation with while finishing up a training session with a bit of a treadmill chat.

Shuffle

Why not load up your favourite tunes on an IPod and drift off while pushing through your cardio session.  You wont even get through a whole album before your session will be done!

                               

R and I

Record your times over various distances and race yourself to improve! By trying to beat your time you will be focusing on going faster as opposed to staring at seconds ticking over on the treadmill timer.

Mix it up

Try using the different pre-set programs on the treadmill, bike, or x-trainer there are a variety of different options. Or even try a variety of machines, if you wanted to do a 30 minutes cardio session try 10 mins on the treadmill, 10 mins on the bike and 10 mins on the rowing machine.

The great outdoors

Try some different types of cardio, go for a run outside, ride a bike track, go and swim at the beach, there are an infinite number of ways that you can add variety to your cardio workout!

Maybe you could even try to add a game of oz tag or basketball to your weekly routine to get that cardio in!
