Having to perform a <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/functional-training-guide\/\">functional-based training<\/a> regime outside of a\ngym is not an obstacle to get fit efficiently. Plus, you can undertake a wide\nrange of cardio exercises from your own home, <strong>using just your own body\nmovements<\/strong> to achieve effective fitness results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for the fundamental exercises to build your cardio workout at home? You have come to the right place: here are 4 key ones you can&#8217;t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardio workout at home: 4 fundamental cardio exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/191982047\/876c93b208\">1. Jumping jacks<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem like the classic circuit training exercise, but jumping jacks are&nbsp;<strong>an easy and effective cardio workout<\/strong>&nbsp;that you can pretty much anywhere. All you need is a bit of space and some&nbsp;<strong>well-supported trainers<\/strong>&nbsp;to make this exercise your go-to workout at home. Said to burn 100 calories in 10 minutes, it\u2019s worth noting that jumping jacks are high impact, which can add stress onto your joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find jumping jacks work best during&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/workout-month-jump-start-hiit-workout\/\">high-intensity training<\/a>, as you can do a short burst of them to get your heart going. The best way to undertake this exercise isn\u2019t by doing a set number of reps. Instead,&nbsp;<strong>set a timer for a minute or two<\/strong>, and keep going until the alarm rings. Take a break to regulate your respiratory system and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jumping jacks\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/191982047?h=876c93b208&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Skipping\/jumping rope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An exercise adopted heavily by the boxing community, jumping (or skipping) rope is&nbsp;<strong>one of the best cardio exercises<\/strong>. Firstly, the combination of&nbsp;<strong>rhythm, speed, coordination and agility<\/strong>&nbsp;enables you to become more athletic overall &#8211; it\u2019s also a proven way to&nbsp;<strong>burn fat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping is an extremely&nbsp;<strong>versatile workout<\/strong>, which makes it perfect for doing at home. You can easily integrate jumping rope into any workout routine to achieve results. You can also count either&nbsp;<strong>the number of skips or a specific time<\/strong>&nbsp;to suit your workout needs. But best of all &#8211; all you actually need is a skipping rope, and you have one of the most effective cardio workouts at your disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/193050177\/b1a1ae7010\">3. Mountain climbers<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This cardio workout will help you&nbsp;<strong>build strength around your core<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>improve your overall&nbsp;<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/5-tips-build-endurance\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>endurance<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; all without the need for any specialist equipment or skills. Starting from the traditional push-up position, you need to keep your arms locked into position while moving your legs back and forth one at a time to simulate the motion of running. The&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/tutorial-mountain-climbers\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mountain climber<\/a>&nbsp;exercise has all the<strong>&nbsp;key benefits of going for a run<\/strong>, that you can quickly gain from inside your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize the output of mountain climbers, undertake the exercise as&nbsp;<strong>part of a circuit or routine, working in bursts of 30-60 seconds<\/strong>. For example, alternate between 10 mountain climbers and 10 push-ups to give your body a hassle-free full workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/191978583\/268cb9980a\">4. Burpees<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A renowned circuit training exercise, burpees are best done in&nbsp;<strong>short bursts of 30-60 seconds<\/strong>, with a&nbsp;<strong>similar length break before doing the next set<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a full-body exercise. You\u2019ll be able to feel the&nbsp;<strong>benefits predominantly in your arms, chest, glutes, quads and hamstrings<\/strong>. You can say burpees must be in any cardio workout at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the ultimate example of functional training. Starting from a standing position before&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/tutorial-deep-squat\/\">squatting<\/a>, getting into the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/tutorial-trx-plank\/\">plank<\/a>, returning to squatting and jumping up to stand upright. It\u2019s worth noting that this is a&nbsp;<strong>very demanding workout<\/strong>. So,  if you\u2019re not used to high-intensity cardio exercise, approach sparingly and build up your ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evofitness_austria\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-960x422.jpg 960w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-480x211.jpg 480w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-640x281.jpg 640w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-720x316.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiovascular exercise doesn\u2019t have to be confined to the four walls of a gym.
