Women's Cardio - 2 Hard-Hitting Cardio-Conditioning Drills For Women That Don't Involve Running!

I have included in this article 2 hard-hitting cardio drills to help you ladies get into shape fast! The beauty is that you don't even have to worry about running to do it. Women's fitness is a big deal these days. I know all you ladies have the desire to be built like an Uma Thurman or Megan Fox, but remember that it takes work to do so. If you have the inner drive and a good work ethic then you will like the following 2 drills I have included here.

1. Squat Thrusts: This is a tremendous drill for you to perform in order to speed up the overall progress of your weight-loss and fat-loss campaign. In order for your fitness training program to be successful you must train with intensity. To begin, squat thrusts are performed by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Next, you will want to crouch down to place your hands on the ground in front of you. From here kick your feet back extending your body until you are in an upright push-up position. From here simply kick your feet back up underneath you until you are back into the crouched position and stand up. All of this counts as a single repetition. If you want to get your heart pumping fast then attempt to do 25 of these in a row!

2. Squat Thrusts With A Jump: To continue your fitness and exercise cardio program you will want to continue with performing these multi-joint movements in order to achieve a high level of cardiovascular conditioning. The amazing thing is that at this point you still haven't taken your first stride into a run, yet you are breathing heavily and feel like you have ran at least a mile! For this drill you will simply want to execute it in the same exact way as you did the normal squat thrusts. The only difference is that in the final phase of the squat thrust, instead of just standing up to transition into the next repetition, you will want to explode vertically into a jump! When you land then transition into the next repetition. Attempt to execute 25 of these in a row! Train hard ladies and enjoy.

Real Cardiovascular Fitness - 2 Ways to Gain Real Cardio Without Running!

If you are open to achieving maximum levels of fitness and cardiovascular conditioning through other methods besides running then permit yourself to continue reading. There is more than one way to skin a cat! If you don't believe me then you need to apply the following 2 drills that I have included in this article to your personal training program.

1. The Double-Arm Kettlebell Swing: This is a base lift that you can do with the kettlebell in order to get a real edge in building hard lean muscle, but it is hugely effective in helping you to build serious levels of cardiovascular fitness! With kettlebell swings you are implementing over hundreds of muscles in your body to perform the task and the swings will get your heart pumping harder than anything you have ever tried. With every swing you utilize movements in your hips and knees to flex and extend in a forceful, smooth, and continuous motion back and forth in what is called the hip snap.

This movement is necessary in order for you to move the bell along an arc that swings from between your legs up to your chest level. As you are doing this you have to be conscious of keeping your shoulders retracted and your head up. With every repetition you have to fight against the sensation of being pulled forward. This counter-reaction will help you to build on your conditioning and forge your body into a machine that is capable of performing like a race horse with every repetition!

2. Squat Thrusts With A Jump: This particular exercise is almost as taxing as the kettlebell swings when it comes to building your cardiovascular endurance. To start this drill you will begin by standing with your feet about shoulder width distance apart. Crouch down and place your hands on the ground in front of you. From here you kick your feet back and extend your legs until you are in an upright push-up position. Next, simply thrust your feet back up underneath your body like at the start.

Finally, from this crouched position stand up and explosively execute a vertical jump from this position. All of these movements will equate to a single repetition. Your heart will be in high gear, you will sweat, and the amazing thing is that you will have not even taken your first stride into a run!

Intense Cardio - 2 Exercises to Drastically Improve Your Cardiovascular Conditioning Without Running

The first thing that we are going to look at is achieving tremendous cardiovascular conditioning with only a limited amount of space and time. To do this we are going to look at a couple of different movements. Again we will use the resistance of body weight in order to accomplish our goal. Remember that these steps are not the only answer, but they sure are effective.

I would like to let you know that this little program will cause you to sweat, stay out of breath, and feel overall miserable! Don't worry though because "Pain is temporary and pride is forever!" I would like to introduce the 3 count squat thrust. This is the first step of the two that I want to explain. It is a toned down version of a military conditioning exercise known as a blurpee, which I'll get into in the second step of this dominating little workout. To begin, a squat thrust involves 3 simple movements. The first movement starts with you standing with your feet about shoulder width apart and bending down to place your hands on the ground in front of you. The second step is to then kick your feet back until your body is fully extended so you are positioned in an upright push-up. Finally, you simply kick your feet back up in one single movement to return to the first position and simply stand up. All 3 of these movements count for one repetition. From here if you want tremendous cardio this will be the first half of your workout because you want to try to complete 50 of these in a row! This will be absolutely miserable and you are only halfway there.

The second exercise I want to look at is called a blurpee. It has a funny name, but you won't be laughing when you start doing it. This exercise basically involves the same steps as the squat thrust but it will have a push-up and a jump added into the mix. The first step, like the squat thrust, is to begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and crouch down placing your hands on the ground in front of you. Next you want to kick your feet back extending your body into the upright push-up position. Third you want to execute a single push-up. Next you want to bring your feet back up until you are in the crouched position. The final movement here is to stand up and jump. This is all one repetition. Go ahead and get mentally geared up because you've got 50 of these in a row too.

This program has a total count of 100 miserable, sweaty, nauseating reps that will get you into optimal shape. This is only a simple ingredient in the whole program. Make the change to gain sick cardiovascular conditioning!
