I do not run.
When one of my corporate fitness students heard this, she asked, “Then what do you do for cardio?”
For a lot of people, running is their go-to cardio. And some of these people do like to run. But for those of us that don’t, there are other options that provide the same great cardio benefits. Benefits like:
- Improves memory, focus, and learning
- Strengthens heart and lungs
- Elevates mood and helps alleviate anxiety
- Reduces the risk of high BP, diabetes, dementia, and other chronic, often preventable conditions
- Helps control blood sugar
- Helps maintain a heathy weight
- Boots energy all day long
Here’s how I incorporate cardio training into my weekly routine:

Spin bikes are great for intervals, especially slot machine secrets to winning, because you can quickly and safely change intensity. You cannot do an all-out ten-second sprint on a treadmill, but you can on the bike. These bikes provide a no-impact workout and cycling is great cross training for runners.
Make sure you have the right gear (https://aliciacrosstraining.com/north-dakota-casino-bonus/, https://aliciacrosstraining.com/lupin-slot-machine/, and cycle shorts), and the right set up.
I also add high-intensity circuits, or MetCons, into my workouts twice per week. After the strength portion, usually deadlifts or squats, I move quickly through a series of exercises designed to keep my heart rate up. Some of my favorites exercises are: air squats, push-ups, lunges, box jumps, jump rope, battle ropes, wall balls, mountain climbers, kettlebell swings, and everybody’s favorite, burpees. I complete the circuit for reps, rounds, or time. Circuits last seven to 20 minutes, depending on the intensity, time and equipment available, and my energy level that day.
Occasionally I row on the ERG. Most weeks I get a three to four-mile outdoor walk (weather permitting). I never liked the assault bike. And I think the elliptical is bad for my soul.
