This is going to be a straightforward 8-10 minute cardio workout for men over 50, that can be done at home. In this cardio routine you will notice that you will be made to go up or stand & back down again on the floor to increase the intensity of the routine. Every exercise is going to be done for 30 seconds in this cardio workout. Now because this is a beginners cardio workout plan, you are going to rest for 30 seconds after each exercise.
Exercises - 1st Circuit :
(See the Demo Video by a click on the link provided in the bottom of this page)
1) Jump Squats : 30 seconds. For total leg muscles, glutes, & core. Also increases heart rate & muscle temperature.
Rest for 30 seconds.
2) Reverse Plank Thrusts : 30 seconds. This exercise works for your glutes, lower back & hamstrings along with your entire core.
Rest for 30 seconds.
3) Butt Kicks (jogging / walking) : 30 seconds. For knee joints , front quads & full leg. If done in jogging form then also increases heart rate & body/muscle temperature thus increasing it's contraction & stretching capacity.
Rest for 30 seconds.
4) Air Bike Crunches : 30 seconds. For upper, middle & lower abs .
Rest for 30 seconds & start the 2nd circuit.
This Cardio routine is easy to do & is more specifically designed for those of you who are beginners. I would initially want you to do 2 circuits of this cardio workout. Beginners can rest 30 seconds before hopping into the second circuit. Those who are in better shape, just jump right into the second circuit. Everyone is at a different fitness level, so make sure to push yourself as much as you can.
