This Exercise is More Fun and Useful than Running
"The human body is not designed to perform repetitive activity, the same movements, such as during exercise. When the body does the same exercise almost every day, so the body will be in a comfort zone, thus burning calories to be not optimal," says Dan John, fitness trainer in Burlingame, CA, and author of Never Let Go.
"Create variations exercise is a way for the body to keeps adapting to new movements that the body be more encouraged to burn calories."
So, rather than run the same routine almost every day or a weekend, try a cardio workout recommendation by John below. Effectiveness is similar to one relaxing hour running on the treadmill.
The "55" Workout
Start by doing one time squats and push-ups 10 counts. Then, rest for 30 seconds. Then do 2 times squats and push-ups 9 count.
Gradually, increase the count squat up to 10 squats and push-ups lower the count to the first count.
By doing so, you will complete 55 counts by the time you finish, and reap the cardiovascular benefits of both aerobic exercise and strength of this muscle.
10 Meter Sprint
Find an area where you can run as far as 10 meters. And ran as fast as possible as far as the distance, inhale and exhale deeply through the nose 1 times.
Run back and do breaks, this time inhaling and exhaling through the nose twice. Continue running and doing gap by adding the number of breaths to 3 times and so on. Stop the run when you can no longer breathe through the nose.
This method provides more benefits than the treadmill healthy and takes more time than a minute.
Jump
Jump as much as you can in 10 seconds. Rested for the same time. Next, do a jump as much as you can in 20 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
Then do 30 seconds of jumping followed by 30 seconds of rest. Then, jump to count decreased, from 30, 20, up to 10. Repeat three times.
