Video: Fun 8-Minute Cardio Interval Workout

This short video will give you a full-body workout in just 8 minutes - no equipment needed. Doing your cardio in intervals not only strengthens your heart and cardiovascular capacity, but it also boosts your metabolism for up to 24 hours after your workout, and it's easier on your body than steady-state endurance cardio, which is hard on your heart and your other muscles.

Plus it's way more fun, since you are constantly switching motions and taking breaks in between exercises, which is more natural for your body. And you'll be done with your whole workout in less than 10 minutes! Be sure to let your heart rate come down a bit in between sets in order to get the maximum benefits. And use the modifications if needed - work at your own pace and fitness level. (Be sure to consult your physician before beginning any new exercise routine, especially if you are starting at a low fitness level.)
