If you Google ‘best bodyweight cardio exercises’ burpees are bound to appear. Understandably, they work your entire body, which gets your heart rate soaring. However, they’re not easy to master, as you’re basically combining a plank, push-up and squat jump into one swift movement. Luckily, there are plenty of other ways you can get your cardio-fix that require no jumping or throwing yourself around on the floor – like this 15-minute workout from Sweat Trainer Britany Williams.
It features dynamic, multi-joint movements that engage multiple muscle groups at once. As these exercises require more energy to perform, they elevate your heart rate and help you burn more calories. To take it up a notch – and give your metabolism an extra boost – Britany also incorporates two light dumbbells, challenging your body to work even harder.
