However, there are ways around this. If you need to take an extended break from cardio, there are a few things you do to help stave off your fitness levels dropping.<\/p>\n
Doing moderate or high-intensity workouts will keep your blood pumping like cardio would for a short time. Doing these workouts during your break will deliver a quick jolt to your body that basically says, “this is a break. We are not done yet”.<\/p>\n
With that said, some exercises that you can do to deliver that jolt is:<\/p>\n
\n- Short Sprints<\/li>\n
- Squats<\/li>\n
- Push-ups<\/li>\n
- Lunges<\/li>\n
- Stair Climbing<\/li>\n
- Burpees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Once you are ready to return to your natural cardio routine, there is something vital that you need to remember. Do not return to the intensity you were at before your break. Instead, start around half of your original intensity before your break. Then work your way back up to where you were before.<\/p>\n
Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\nToo much of anything in this world can be bad for your health. Unfortunately, when it comes to cardio, there are quite a few things that can happen. Developing sleeping issues or joint pain are possibly the worst things that can happen. However, if you love cardio, then thinking of cardio as a chore is the worst for you. With that said, a break does not mean you are quitting. Instead, think of it as a few rest days so that you can come back better than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
