Previously titled: Cardio Class
I hate cardio and I love cardio. Why do I love cardio? Because it makes me feel amazing afterwards. Why do I hate it?
Because it's monotonous and repetitive. My question to you today is can we do cardio without being repetitive? Yes, the answer is yes. Let's go.
This is a short class but you are going to sweat. Starting down dog. Roll forward to plank and back. Plank.
We're doing everything fast today which means we're not going to the limit. We're just moving and moving and moving and moving. Roll to plank. Knees down.
Look up and roll back to plank like five times. Rolling. Look. So never more than 80 percent of your range of motion.
