Article Surfing ArchiveGreat Cardio Workouts You Can Do At Home - Articles SurfingYou know how important cardio workouts are for your health and wellbeing, but it's hard to get a good cardio workout in when you can't leave to house to go to the gym or for a run. Here are some great cardio workouts you can do right at home. Workout DVDs One of the easiest ways to get your heart pumping with a workout at home is to purchase one (or a few) of the workout DVDs available today. You can find cardio workouts on just about anything from kickboxing to dance. Pick one that looks like fun and start working out. If you just add a new DVD every 3 months, you'll have a great little library of cardio workout DVDs in no time. Rotate through the different workouts and you'll never get bored of working out at home again. Treadmill A treadmill is a great way to get a good cardio workout at home. You can walk on it briskly or go for a jog or run. Some models will even let you adjust the angle of the walking surface, to simulate going uphill. Keep your workout from getting boring by listening to some music or audio books while you walk. Stationary Bike A stationary bike is another great piece of equipment that allows you to get in a great cardio workout just about anywhere in your house. Pick">All you have to do is jump on the bike and peddle away. Keep some water close by to stay hydrated. I like to watch TV or a movie while I'm riding my bike. You can also read books or magazines if you are just peddling at a slower yet persistent pace. Jump Rope A jump rope is one of the least expensive pieces of workout equipment you'll ever buy. You can pick one up for a few bucks, or borrow one from your kids. To get a great workout, simply jump rope for 20 to 30 minutes. For a great interval training, jump 100 jumps as fast as you can, then slow down to a more comfortable jump, barely lifting your feet enough to let the rope go through. Step Workout You've probably seen those fancy step workouts at the gym, or the TV infomercial. Guess what? You can get a great step workout at home without any specialized equipment. Utilize the bottom step of your stairs, or any large, sturdy box you can step on and off. I use an old milk crate at my house. Step up using your right leg first 12 times, then switch to leading with your left leg. Repeat. For some variety try stepping side to side.
