Feel Fitter (and Stronger!) With This 20-Minute, No-Equipment Cardio Workout
When you think of cardio, you probably think of something pretty cut and dry, like a 20-minute jog or walk. But you don't need to leave home or own a treadmill or bike to get your heart rate up — not when you can pull together some simple bodyweight exercises like the ones you'll find here.
"The difference between a strength training workout and a cardio one is that, with cardio, you should focus on getting in a higher number of reps," explained Le Sweat founder Charlee Atkins, CSCS, who created this workout as part of POPSUGAR's 4-Week Workout Challenge. "Cardio exercises are also more agility- or movement-based to help elevate your heart rate and challenge your cardiovascular system."
