Thanks to Megan Thee Stallion, every time we say the word “body,” it must be followed by “ody-ody-ody.” We know you feel the same. Catchy lyric aside, today we’re sharing our top five cardio workouts to get your body ready for the new season.
As you know, cardio exercises are great because they tone your whole body and burn the maximum amount of fat while getting your heart rate up. The highly efficient moves can be done in 10-minute segments (or longer, of course), making them super effective and convenient when it comes to tightening and strengthening your summer figure.
Ahead, we’re breaking down a variety of routines you can add to your fitness rotation. If you’re up for the challenge, we recommend scheduling one a day Monday through Friday, and then on the weekend, pick your favorite two for your Saturday workout. Then give yourself Sunday to rest and start the sequence all over the next week. After you’ve completed it a couple of times, you’ll have most of the moves memorized, which will make your sessions that much easier. Get ready to meet the cardio routines that will help transform your body this summer.
