Cardiovascular exercise is any sort of activity that includes aerobic movements and causes your heart rate to increase. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines cardiac activity as constant and recurrent motions of an individual's arms and legs. Cardiovascular exercises help to stimulate the body's natural blood flow.

Such workouts are ideal for beginners and are all about fat burning; however, it is vital to warm up for approximately ten minutes before beginning this sort of exercise regimen. These exercises will help you tone your muscles and lose excess fat without the use of equipment: all you need is yourself and possibly your favorite workout music. So, let's get moving!

· Jogging on Spot (2 mins)

Spot jogging is a gentle way to get your blood circulating before engaging in more arduous activities, making it an ideal warm-up activity before heavier pursuits. It will help maintain your heart rate up between more intense cardio sessions as an added benefit.

· Burpees (10 reps)

Burpees immediately raise the heart rate, resulting in fat burning. This high-intensity workout boosts the metabolic rate, making it very effective for fat loss. While the traditional burpee will suffice, you can take things a step further by doing a small leap at the end of the exercise with your hands reaching for the sky. This training requires the ability to maintain buoyancy. Since you are pouring all your energy into this with short bounces, jumping and getting up, it will get your heart rate going.

· Push-ups (20 reps)

Push-ups aid in muscle development and prepare the body for more intense activities. Our metabolism increases due to the increase in cardiac output that occurs during a push-up, resulting in weight loss.

· Crunches (30 seconds)

Crunches are an excellent technique to burn fat and build your abdomen. For an individual weighing 72-75 kg, performing medium crunches for ten minutes burns 52-54 calories.

· Squats (40 reps)

Here's another simple workout that's both easy to do and effective at burning calories. Why? Squats and light leaping require a lot of energy and might cause your heart rate to spike quickly once you start the activity.

Squats have evolved into a fantastic way to increase your overall fitness while also experiencing immediate results. These are simple to do and require no equipment so that they can be done practically anywhere.

Squats help you build muscles, and for every pound of fat you gain, your body burns an extra 55-75 calories every day!

· Plank (50 seconds)

It is possible to practice planks almost everywhere, which is one of the key reasons this is an excellent belly workout. This is because it does not necessitate the use of any equipment.

While it is not technically necessary, using a mat or having some type of cushioning to place behind your elbows is encouraged because it will then be a lot more comfortable for you.

· Cross Jab (30 reps)

One can execute the jabs cross with their arms, which is a brief exercise that will help you concentrate and improve your cardiovascular system. A terrific way to strengthen the shoulder and forearms while also releasing any pent-up rage!

· Knees high (50 secs)

Increase your heart rate by performing high knee exercises as part of your warm-up, or you can make the workout more intense to get your heart beating.

· Mountain Climbers (60 seconds)

Mountain climbing is unquestionably a very acceptable option when it comes to building up a sweat. While this workout raises your heart rate, it also strengthens your core muscles, which will help you get the strong abs of your dreams.
