Make Your Current Cardio Workout More Intense
There are many ways to make your current cardio workout more difficult in order to burn more calories and get into better cardio shape. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Wear an athletic mouthpiece during your workout. Wearing the mouthpiece makes your exercise routine more tiring because it is harder to breathe. With less oxygen, your body learns to rely more on anaerobic energy and gets into better cardiovascular shape. Wearing a mouthpiece during exercise maximizes oxygen exchange in the lungs, the blood stream, and the muscles.
2. Add resistance to your cardio exercises. Use weights, exercise bands, run on an incline, or any other resistance tool to really give your muscles a burn. Adding different forms of resistance to your muscles burns more calories for fat loss and gives variations to the same routine.
3. Change up the pace and time. To maximize your cardio exercise intensity speed up the pace for a shorter time period once a week or more. If you perform the same exercise at the same pace all the time your body will adapt. You need to change up the routine by alternating longer, slower paced cardio with shorter, faster paced cardio workouts. This puts different loads on the muscles each workout for faster results.
