When it comes to improving our cardiovascular health, more often than not we tend to gravitate towards the treadmill, Stairmaster, or exercise bike (to name a few).

“A cardio workout refers to exercise that stimulates our overall cardiovascular system, predominately the heart and burns calories,” says Steve Albon, Certified Personal Trainer and Regional Gym Manager at Ultimate Performance. “Put simply, you need to work hard and get your heart rate pumping, it’s not that complicated!”. And we all know you don’t need big bits of cardio equipment to achieve this.
