Be Well Workout of the Week: The Cardio-Strength Challenge
This workout will challenge not only your strength, but also your cardio. Why challenge both at the same time? Well, because pairing strength and cardio is an excellent way to challenge your overall fitness and train different systems of your body.
The idea is to work hard during each round — you’ll do four total — then really use the one minute in between rounds to recover. So, as you go through these moves, work hard and work fast, transitioning quickly from one exercise to another and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. And note: The only equipment you need for this workout is a set of dumbbells, so you can do it just about anywhere. Now, ready, set, sweat!
