This cardio circuit combines some of the toughest athletic drills around for maximum fat burning, calorie burning, endurance, and muscle definition. Perform each exercise for 1 minute. Go from one exercise to the next without resting in between exercises. The first cardio circuit should take you about 7-10 minutes. Repeat the circuit one or two more times for a longer workout. This is primarily a cardio workout so there are no rest periods between circuits. If you want to try to go for 3 rounds but find that you do need a break try resting no longer than 60 seconds.
