Working out the lazy way: Cardio Solutions
I hate cardio. No, I hate running, jumping, burpees, or any HIIT exercise. So how do I get my cardio in? Here are my favorite ways to do cardio.
Dancing
This is my #1 way to get cardio. I like to try to learn the choreography to kpop videos. Dorky right, but effective AND fun.
I bet I look really stupid, but it’s fun and it does not feel like exercise. If you want to try some tutorials then try these videos:

More Dancing
Are you cringing at the thought of choreographed dance moves? Then dance around your room to your favorite songs.
I use to do this all the time when I was younger. I still do it while I’m doing chores. I usually dance and sing for about 5 or 6 songs. It still counts as cardio, and it’s a stress reliever.
Hate Dancing, then try this
Let’s not lie, I would rather watch tv than exercise; therefore my only solution was to do both. If I am watching an engaging show, I will grab my 1-lb weights and start walking/jogging in place.
If the show is so awesome, I won’t even know that I am exercising! So if the show is an hour long, I walked 10,000 steps (I always have my fitbit on).
Get some fresh air
During my lunch break, I have been walking around my neighborhood. I am in the house all day, so I need some fresh air.
All I do is load my favorite songs on my phone and play them while I’m walking. Since my neighborhood is empty (everyone’s at work or school), I will sometimes burst out into song. I feel sorry for anyone who hears my voice…
My other option is going to the park. If I do that, I always bring my sister or my mom, so that they can also get their cardio on.
What are some non-running cardio that you do? Let me know in the comments below.
