3 Cardio Blasts Circuits

Life gets busy and sometimes it can be hard to squeeze in a workout between work meetings, daily commutes and time at home with the family. Cardio blasts lend themselves well to a busy schedule—as they can be short and done almost anywhere—and their high intensity helps you get the most out of your workout. Pick any of the following three 10-minute cardio blasts circuits. Any one of them is sure to help you sculpt muscle and burn fat, no matter where you work out.

Do each of circuit four times with 1-minute rests in between for maximum benefit. Your ultimate goal is to build your strength and endurance to a point where you can combine all nine exercises as one circuit and do it 4 times. Good luck.
