The Best At-Home Cardio Moves You Can Do In 10 Minutes
By Katrina Scott onMorning gorgeous! You're already crushing this week like the badass you are đȘ As the Bikini Series quickly approaches, we're amping things up with your Mini Challenges because we know how strong you are!
This week is all about boosting your heart rate and revving your metabolism with booty-kicking cardio! All week in Studio Tone It Up, we're sharing our favorite cardio-focused routines.
One of the absolute best cardio moves is a burpee...that heart pumpin', body-lovin' move we all loveeee đ Burpees are amazing because they recruit all your muscle groups ~ your arms, abs, core, booty, and legs. Talk about a power move! And not only do burpees do tons of toning, they raise your heart rate and send your body into an all-day burn called EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). This means your metabolism will be working strong long after your workout ends!
Today we're sharing a burpee toning challenge you can do anywhere for a quick sweat sesh. This fast and effective routine combines some of our fave burpee variations with total body toning moves to sculpt every inch of your gorgeous body. We love this workout for busy days when we're on the go. In just a few minutes, you'll feel strong, confident, and like you can take on the world...cuz you can!
Make sure to check out your Studio classes all week long for more amazing cardio routines!
