Skipping frosty runs? Try out this alternative six-exercise conditioning routine instead
A dedicated fitness enthusiast has found a new way to stay in shape and boost their cardio fitness without relying on running. The individual, who prefers strength training over endurance training, has switched to a strength-focused conditioning workout routine. This specific workout, designed by fitness expert Talilla Henchoz, is aimed at improving cardio fitness for those who don't enjoy running or other endurance training.
The conditioning workout uses light to medium weights to allow for high repetitions of each movement, making it intense and effective. The routine consists of six exercises: snatches, jump lunges, squat and press, speed boxing, lunge and press, and skaters.
The individual managed to complete 6 rounds of the workout, totaling around 30 minutes. Their heart rate climbed quickly and stayed within the 165bpm range during the workout, helping to strengthen cardiovascular fitness. The alternating upper- and lower-body exercises helped the individual sustain the workout's intensity.
The individual, who is experienced with lifting weights and most of the workout moves, found the workout efficient and appreciated not having to go outside for it. Despite the high repetition count, the fast pace of the workout may impact technique for beginners, potentially causing an injury. Henchoz suggests doing the routine at a slower pace if you're a beginner, or trying a beginner strength training workout to get familiar with the basics.
For those looking for new weights for their workouts, a guide for the best adjustable dumbbells is available. The individual, who is still keen on including cardio workouts in their schedule, plans to incorporate other strength training exercises as well.
Strength training workouts, like the one followed by the individual, involve compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups. This makes them ideal for those seeking a quick, effective workout to boost cardio for the day. The individual discovered strength training workouts as an alternative for cardio workouts and has been exploring more options in this realm.
