Creative Ways to Get Your Cardio
February 4, 2010 @ 02:00 pm
The treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, stair climber. All basic forms of getting your cardio. But also really boring after a while. My gym has TVs at each machine to help ease the dull roar, but there are plenty of other ways to get a great cardio workout. Here's a couple of sample videos. The first is boxing - I'd really love to learn how to do this stuff some day. Something about the sheer force and raw power of hitting a bag combined with the need to dodge and weave. I'm not particularly combative but boxing has always interested me as a sport I'd like to try.

The second is a rock-climbing wall. Not content with a normal wall, some gyms have these infinite walls that let you climb until you fall off. And it's a total body work out if I've ever seen one. I've been rock climbing before, believe it or not, and it's not exactly a walk in the park. I'd love to go again.
