Shilpa Shetty has returned with her latest Monday Motivation video, and it is one you don’t want to miss. This time, the fitness icon focuses on cardio exercises. In the video, she performs a high-energy routine featuring jumping jacks, side-to-side jumps, high-knee twists, and more. With her lively spirit and dance-inspired moves, Shilpa makes cardio fun and engaging.
In her post, Shilpa wrote, “The road to fitness doesn’t have to be monotonous. Who said burning calories can’t be fun? Fun Cardio – My Way. Benefits: Burns calories, hence fat. Conditions heart and lungs.”
Following her lead, you can add these effective cardio exercises to your fitness routine:
Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks quickly raise your heart rate. They are simple, need no equipment, and work well as a warm-up or a high-intensity exercise. You can do them fast for cardio or slower for better control.
High Knees
This exercise involves jumping in place while lifting your knees to waist level. It may sound easy but becomes challenging after 20 seconds. High knees improve cardio, coordination, and core strength. For extra intensity, pump your arms as if sprinting.
Butt Kicks
Jog in place while kicking your heels toward your glutes. This move works your hamstrings, increases flexibility, and gets your heart rate up quickly. It is both fun and effective cardio.
Burpees
Burpees offer a full-body workout. Drop into a push-up, jump up, and repeat. Although tough, they are highly effective for building strength and improving cardiovascular fitness.
Mountain Climbers
Mountain climbers combine plank and cardio. Drive your knees toward your chest quickly in a running motion while keeping your back flat. This exercise engages your core and provides a strong cardio boost.
