Cardio is a great way to engage your body while having fun! This workout uses the entire body - but you only need a few feet of space, so it's perfect for when you are traveling or at home. Schedule this fun, effective workout into your regular routine for an extra 10 minutes of calorie-blasting movement, or if you are starting out getting more activity into your lifestyle, do this workout best you can, taking breaks when you need it, working up to being able to do the entire 10 minutes! Every little bit counts!
