Skip running – this 20-minute bodyweight workout builds endurance and overall fitness

A woman performing high knees outdoors.

Now that the weather is beginning to turn, you’d be forgiven for not wanting to lace up your running shoes and brave the rain. But does that mean you need to let your cardio slip? Definitely not. With this 20-minute bodyweight workout, you’ll be able to get your cardio fix from indoors. And, while we can’t promise that you won't sweat, at least we can guarantee you won’t get wet from the rain.

Cardio isn’t just important for our heart and lung health, it can also benefit our performance with other types of training, like lifting weights. The better your overall aerobic fitness is, the quicker you’ll be able to recover in between your workout sets, so that you can push harder and get more gains. Ever felt like you’re still trying to catch your breath back after a set of heavy squats after your rest period is up and therefore couldn’t perform your next set as well? Improving your cardio will help this.
