Running may be a great way to build your cardiovascular fitness and strengthen your muscles but, if you don’t enjoy it, you’ll struggle to find the motivation to lace up your running shoes. This high-intensity workout can provide similar results; not only will it sculpt your entire body and get your heart rate seriously pumped, but it will only take you 30 minutes. No equipment is required either, just reach for your best workout shoes.
All the exercises in this workout are compound exercises that work several muscle groups simultaneously. Not only are compounds great for increasing strength and muscle, but they're great for improving your cardiovascular fitness too. According to fitness app, Centr: "When the body needs to oxygenate multiple muscles at the same time, the heart rate rises so that blood flow can increase, resulting in cardiovascular fitness." This means more calories burned too, so you're getting strength and cardio in one – a win, win!
