Cardio exercises to do at home with minimal equipment

 

11. Squat to front kick

This exercise will challenge a person’s balance by adding a single leg kick at the peak of the squat position.

To perform:

  • Stand with the feet hip-width apart and arms at the sides.
  • Bend at the knees to squat down.
  • Return to standing and extend one leg to perform a front kick.
  • Repeat the kick on the other side.

12. Stair climb

A person can incorporate stairs into a workout by going up and down them several times.

Taking the stairs two at a time and increasing speed to a running pace can further challenge the cardiovascular system and leg muscles.
