As you can see from the article, the secret is in its simplicity. It is basically six 10 minute rounds alternating between cardio and strength; 3 cardio rounds and 3 strength rounds in total. The best part about it is that your heart rate will still be up during the strength rounds.
Each cardio round can be done on either a treadmill or around the block or park, walking or running. It can also be done with jump rope and it lasts 10 minutes. You then quickly move on to the strength round which consists of 5 exercises. That are done twice. The article recommends some good ones, but like any other workout routine, you can customize it to your strength needs with your own exercises.
Get into it if you have the hour set aside for it. You won’t regret it!
