Not all cardio workouts need to be intense. Especially on days where you are wor
king on sore and/or tired muscles from a particularly hard HIIT or Strength Trai
ning routine, having a lower impact routine is very important. A less intense ca
rdio routine will allow you to still get your workout in, without taxing your bo
dy to the point where you re-damage already sore, recovering muscle tissue.
A common mistake for many of those new to exercise, or coming back after a long
break, is to push themselves to hard for too long. When first getting back into
a routine it can be very easy to convince yourself to push through muscle sorene
ss hoping to get to your goals sooner, but not allowing yourself to rest by eith
er taking a day off or at least by doing low intensity workouts on "rest days" c
an easily wear your body down to the point of injury. When it comes to your fitn
ess goals be sure to look at them as a life long choice rather than a quick fix.
This routine is specifically made for beginners and those who want to workout bu
t have sore muscles that they need to be easy on. With this video you can choos
e your level of intensity by how quickly you move and how much effort you put in
to each movement. This allows even the beginner to customize the intensity to ma
tch their needs as well as allowing the veteran exerciser to still get in a good
sweat without overtaxing recovering muscles.
Though this routine is designed to be lower intensity it still does a very good
job burning calories. Because of the total body motions incorporated into this p
rogram you can expect to burn anywhere from 6 calories per minute on the low end
, to 11 calories per minute on the high end. This gives you an impressive 222 to
407 total calories burnt in this 37 minute workout video.
