Cardio Week 2015! Low-Impact Leanout

Workout Tips

For Cardio Week 2015 at Men's Health, we'll feature a brand-new, equipment-free workout every day. These routines are fast, they're hard, and they're a heck of a lot more fun than spinning your wheels on a treadmill.

Your first bodyweight cardio burner is only one exercise: the split squat runner hold. “The exercise has no impact on your ankles, knees, and hips, but it will have a major impaction your calorie burn,” says MH Fitness Advisor BJ Gaddour, creator of the Lose Your Spare Tire–exercise program–a cutting-edge training plan that can help you lose 30, 40, even 50 pounds. Watch the video above to see Gaddour perform the workout.

Here's how it works: Hold a split squat position with your right foot forward. Drive your arms back and forth as if you're running for 20 seconds, and then rest 10 seconds. Repeat with your left leg forward for 20 seconds. Continue to alternate sides for 8 rounds total. If that's too easy, drop your back knee closer to the floor during the split squat and hold that position. (Looking for more quick calorie-burning routines to try?
