Outdoor Cardio Workouts

10 Great Outdoor Cardio Workout Ideas

You don't need a treadmill to get a great cardio workout! Grab a mat and a timer

10 Long Jumps: Do a long jump the length of your mat or towel, then shuffle backwards to your starting position

10 Pushups: Kneeling or full, depending on your fitness level

15 Sumo Squats: Stand up with your feet shoulder width apart with your toes slightly turned out as you sit back into a squat


15 Burpees: Start with a jump, ad then squat down, place your hands on your mat and jump out into a plank position. Jump feet back towards your hands, pop up into a standing position and finish with a clap at the top.

20 Bicycle Crunches: Lie on your back and bend both knees into your chest, hand clasped behind your head. Find a focal point to the left and right of your body. Look at those two focal points as you twist and crunch to each side, reaching your right elbow to your left knee and vice versa.
