Cardio Blaster

This is one of the best workouts you can do to improve fitness and burn lots of calories in a short time. Start with a 15-minute warm-up, then run or bike for 3 minutes at 90 to 95 percent of your maximum heart rate (should feel like 8.5-9 on a scale of 1-10). Take 3 minutes of active recovery and repeat 3 to 4 times. Finish with a 10-minute cool-down. This workout is like weight training for your heart—it strengthens your cardiovascular system and makes you a better fat-burning machine.

Cardio-Sprint Pyramid

There’s nothing like sprinting to increase muscle power and get your legs, glutes, and core tight and toned. This workout mixes cardio with muscle-sculpting sprinting for a fun workout you’ll never forget. Start with a 15-minute warm-up, adding a few 20-second bursts at the end to rev your engine and prepare for the workout. Then run or bike for 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds at a rate of perceived exertion of 8-10 (adjusting the effort with the length of the segment), following each hard segment with an active recovery interval equaling the same amount of time. Finish with a 10-minute cool-down.
