switching up cardio
Does anyone else attempt to try to switch up the type of cardio they do?
I admit I have been totally stuck in doing dance workouts (mainly the Alchemy of Movement Powhow classes which I absolutely adore) for the past few years. Walking workouts bug my hip flexors, and I am too much of a klutz for step.
I do really like kickboxing, but I can't do it very often because of neck/shoulder issues.
I noticed it has been taking a longer time to get my heart rate up with dance workouts ( I have to do low impact) than it used to. I think my body got used to them.
This morning I tried a cardio workout from Team Body Project on you tube. My heart rate rose faster and stayed higher through it. I only did a thirty minute workout since I had not done them before. (the Soul Sweat classes are an hour or more). I tacked on a ten minute Fit Body by Ashley dance at the end so I had closer to my normal amount of cardio, and got my dance fix.
I am sorry for rambling. I am just wondering if anyone else switches their type of cardio. I did enjoy the Body Project and will try more of them, but dance and kickboxing will always be my favorites.
