HOW TO REINVENT A CARDIO SESSION! THINK FARTLEK ...

Are you feeling bored of doing cardio on the same treadmill everyday? Ever heard of Fartlek training? Fartlek is a Swedish term that means ''speed play''. Its a fun way to change how you see cardio and a great way to reduce stress on the same joint due to over utilization of the same piece of cardio equipment.

Here is an example of how to perform a "fartlek cardio program".

Go to a park or a remote area with multi levels and Plainfields. Start your cardio session with a fast walk for 5 minutes then switch the pace to a light jog. Maintain the pace for 5 minutes then switch to a comfortable running pace for the next 5 minutes. From this moment on, simply have fun with the speed/pace for the rest of the cardio session. Not only will you get pure enjoyment out of the technique but you might find yourself sweating a lot more than usual. This technique can be used on any piece of cardio equipment or at your nearest park or nature trail sanctuary. ENJOY!
