TOP CARDIO WORKOUTS TO DO AT HOME

People do not need a lot of equipment for cardiovascular exercise. Instead, they can take part in cardio training at home by working their own body weight.

· MARCHING IN PLACE

Marching in place can elevate the heart rate, making this exercise a suitable choice for a warm-up or single cardio activity.To increase the intensity, a person can increase the speed they march or raise the knees higher.

      · SINGLE LEG STAND

This exercise works the abdominal muscles.

To perform:

· Start with the feet together or no more than 3 inches (in) apart.

· Bend the knees slightly and lift one leg 3–6 in off the floor.

· Hold this position for 10–15 seconds and return the foot to the floor.

· Repeat for the opposite leg.

To increase difficulty, a person can lift their leg higher off the floor or jump from one leg to the other more quickly.

· JOGGING IN PLACE

Jogging in place is a simple and effective exercise to increase heart rate. This is also a suitable beginner warm-up activity.To perform, bounce lightly from one foot to the other. At the same same, swing the arms from side to side.

· AIR JUMP ROPE

The air jump rope requires a person to “swing” an imaginary jump rope in the air. The exercise provides an alternative to jogging in place and is suitable as part of a warm-up routine.To perform, stand with the feet together and jump up and down while swinging the arms in a circular direction.

· DANCING TO MUSIC 

A person can turn free space into a dancefloor at home.Dancing to upbeat music can burn calories, while people may find it very enjoyable as an exercise.

· ARM CIRCLES

A person can perform arm circles while sitting or standing, making them ideal for all skill levels.

To perform:

· Rotate the arms in a circular motion, both clockwise and counterclockwise. The movement may resemble a butterfly or backstroke.

· If a person has limited mobility in their arms, they can extend their arms to their sides and draw small circles.

· JUMPING JACKS

Jumping jacks are a beginner cardiovascular exercise that a person can perform almost anywhere.

To perform:

· Begin with the feet hip-width apart and arms down.

· Raise the arms out to the sides, straight in the air while jumping out with the feet apart.

· Jump back into the starting position and land softly on the balls of the feet, bringing the arms back into the body.

A person can increase the exercise intensity by jumping higher or faster. They can also reduce intensity by performing slower or smaller jumping jacks.
