At Home Cardio Workout // No Equipment is an interval cardio workout from Heather Robertson. It is not one of her low impact workouts–so there is lots of jumping. In fact, almost every move has impact. The title says no equipment but Heather uses a jump rope. It is only for one exercise and you can just pretend to jump rope. It’s not actually needed. There is no warm up, you just jump right into the workout.
The workout consists of 3 circuits of 5 exercises and each circuit is repeated (15 exercises total). Each exercises is done for 45 seconds with a 15 second recovery. During the 15 second recovery the next exercise is featured in a small rectangle in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. There is a counter in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries.
None of the exercises are complicated or hard to perform, but as mentioned, most are high impact. I got a great cardio workout. I burned 276 calories in 30 minutes.
At Home Cardio Workout // No Equipment is 31:30 minutes; 50 second intro and the last 30 seconds is Heather talking. No warm up or cool down/stretch. Heather uses a jump rope but you can pretend if you don’t have one.
