Cardio workout routines for the warm up calender!

Cardio based workouts for the winter Warm up Calender

If you’ve started the winter warm up workouts (you should’ve, it started today!) then this is the guide to you need to know the routine for any of the cardio days. I’ve put the day’s next to the titles, just in case you forget what day you’re on.I’ve included a video option that’s equal to this workout and videos can be easier to follow..

Remember if you don’t feel comfortable in the names and the motion of the moves go to the workout dictionary. There you’ll find exactly what the moves should look like and what parts of the body they’ll work! The calendar is 30 days so you can start it on the 1st of the month or start from the first Monday of January (the 4th).

Remember, if you’re struggling, just pause and take a minute to breathe.
Best of Luck!
