Build Mental Strength With Aldo Kane's Hardcore Cardio Workout
If you need to chase out life stress right now, then consider this 3-move session your go-faster therapy
Sprints are simple and free but, well, they suck. This session works to exhaust your lower body and put you in a position where you’re forced to dig deep. You’ll need to summon maximum effort for the final effort. The reward is a long, slow, calming walk back to the start. Use it well. Kane believes that conquering each sprint clears your head as effectively as it boosts your cardio fitness.
Double Unders: 5 x 50 Reps, No Rest
In a relaxed stance, hold the rope, letting it hang down on the floor behind you (A). Pogo up high, with your legs straight but lifted slightly in front for extra air time. Whip your wrists (B) to bring the rope around you twice before hitting the ground for the next rep.
Air Squats: 5 x 50 Reps, No Rest
Drop the rope but keep the focus on your legs with this simple lower-body move. Standing tall with your feet at shoulder width, push your hips back and sink into a squat, until your thighs are parallel with the floor (A). Now, push back up through your heel to standing (B), then repeat.
Sprints: 5 x 50m, 60sec Rest
Start in a three-point stance: your feet staggered, left hand on the floor, your right cocked behind you (A). Basically, just do your best Usain Bolt impression. Swing your right arm forward and pump your legs, coming up gradually (B). Go all-out for 50m and duck for the line.
