Cardio Blast III

CARDIO BLAST III

Cardio Blast III is a full body work-out designed to get your heart rate pumping and kick your body into fat-burning mode all while increasing your strength and endurance. If you’re a true beginner, make necessary modifications to ensure that your heart rate stays in the optimal zone.

For optimal results, keep your heart rate in the fat-burning zone by exercising at a level thats right for you throughout the work-out.

*Note: Always listen to your body and modify exercise for your current fitness level. Beginners should start slow and can walk in place if at any point the exercise is too much. High intensity exercise is contraindicated for those with chronic illness or adrenal fatigue. If this is you and if after talking to your doctor, you are released to start exercising, please use beginner modifications and only push yourself to mild or moderate intensity (by going slower and/or decreasing reps). You may also opt for our lower intensity workouts found under the Beginners tab.
