Cardio/Strength Quick Burn

 While we know this time of year is hectic, this will give you a quick intense burn. Who has time to workout? We have 24 hours in a day, we owe it to ourselves to give our bodies time to move, get our hearts pumping and muscles burning. Working out is a great stress reliever and will give you that energy boost you need to get through the day. Try this quick cardio and strength workout. You can choose any form of cardio. Run, cycle, swim, row or stair climb. It is easiest if you are on a machine so you can quickly transition from the cardio portion to the strength interval.
