You Follow A Home Exercise Routine. Should You Include Any Cardio Workouts?

As far as cardio workouts are concerned, I believe to really achieve a well balanced fitness level, you need to include the five major goals for fitness, even if you follow a home exercise routine.

These are::

1. Flexibility.
2. Endurance. (this is where the cardio will come in)
3. Muscle power.
4. Nutrition and weight control.
5. Relaxation.

As far as cardio is concerned, everybody is not equally keen on the idea. To be honest, when it comes to running, I would grab at any excuse to avoid it. I just find it so boring, but that's me. I know many other people who find it just as boring to do strength training, while going for a jog excites them. Cardio workouts also doesn't have to be running, it can be achieved through various activities such as aerobic sessions, cycling and many other activities.
 
The point is, cardio does have it's place, even if you follow a home exercise routine. And especially if you take part in certain activities that requires a lot of stamina, it most definitely is extremely valuable.

I would like to include an article written by Craig Ballantyne as an example to prove this point, and let's see how he does it.  

Why You Should Do Cardio

 By Craig "No Cardio" Ballantyne

Yes, I AM doing cardio.

What?

Why?

Because I need to be tough.

I'm preparing for a 10-mile tough mudder race in Beaver Creek,

Colorado, in June.

And so recently I ran 4 miles in 29 minutes. Not bad.

(Definitely not slow cardio...although it wasn't exciting.)

I've also ran 8 miles in just over an hour.

Why?

To build up my body for the 10 miles.

Now I'm ready.

Are you?

I can get you in top shape in just 4-8 weeks here

(Perfect for runners and endurance athletes of all kinds.)

Runs and Obstacle Courses with TT Adventure Race Training

Run, get dirty, and go through strength obstacles - that's

basically what I'll be doing in the 10 mile Tough Mudder race

that my friend, Matt Smith, challenged me to try.

And you know what....

It's this new trend - "Adventure Race Training" - that everyone

can't help but rave about. And who wouldn't when you can be a

kid all over again PLUS lose stubborn fat and gain lean muscle

at the same time.

NOTE: I just hit a personal best in the deadlift while still

training with cardio, thanks to my unique plan.

It's time to let out the kid inside of you.

And that's exactly why I've put together this one-of-a-kind

workout program. In TT Adventure Race Training, you get to

train as though you're preparing to compete in one of the most

physically demanding races - the Tough Mudder race.

NOTE: You don't have to be doing an adventure race to get the

fat burning benefits of this workout. ANYONE of an advanced

fitness level can try this tough program.

And inside this special TT program, you'll go through The

"Adventure 600", a brutal challenge workout designed to

increase your strength and endurance, two total body workouts

that'll shred the last bits of stubborn fat, AND you'll have

a plan for gearing up to run 10 miles in a Tough Mudder.

Whew - that's a LOT.

But it rocks.

And not only that, you'll also discover that these TT exercises

will help get you through the obstacles you'll face going

through the Tough Mudder race - that way you'll ace the race

while leaving your friends in awe... not to mention all the

heads you'll be turning with your lean and ripped physique.

But what if you have NO intention of ever doing an adventure race?

That's totally fine because you can still use these 3 powerful

workouts to rapidly transform the way you look and feel. I

guarantee it.

Heck, the hill sprint program alone is one of the nastiest fat

burning challenges I've ever put together. And with a new

challenge every week, you're going to get better and faster,

all while shrinking your waistline and looking hotter than

ever in time for summer.

Throw in the first metabolic resistance training circuit from

Workout B, and your metabolism will be revved so high, fat

simply won't stand a chance of staying around for beach season.

And then there's The Adventure 600, an 8-exercise, all out fat

burning circuit, swooping in to put the finishing touches on a

beautifully sculpted physique.

So whether you're training for an adventure race or simply

wanting to transform your body, I promise these workouts will

deliver amazing results.
