Can anyone recommend some good cardio workouts?(other then just plan running) I enjoy running, but I get bored with it. Anything I could alternate with running? I just need something to spice up my workout and really get me sweating!

    I can't stand running, but I have made good progress on my cuts when I do HIIT workouts I alternate walking at 4 and running b/t 9-10 on a treadmill with a 3-4 minute warmup and cool down. I do them every other day in the AM or PM, separate from my lifting workouts.

    Try jumping rope! SOOO Hard and amazing to see how quickly your body responds! 5 minutes is FOREVER, but its good for HIIT workouts! You can do short workouts and the after burn is GREAT! ( your body will continue to burn more calories throughout the day anytime you do HIIT workouts, vs steady rate cardio exercises)
    Hope this helps! Its great to break up the same ole same ole ... also squat jumps make great HIIT workouts and give you a KILLER butt! =)

    try woodchoppers for 20 reps at a time, that'll get your HR up.
    or sprints alternating laps in the pool
    or jump roping for 1 minute straight and trying to build up endurance to get 2-3 minutes straight at a time
    or sets of 20 squats
    or try the insanity fit test
