When doing cardio, we want to remember the FIT principle:
Frequency: • how often should I work out? • minimum 3x / week
Intensity: • how hard should I be working out? • In your TARGET ZONE
(which is 60% - 80% of your
Max Heart Rate - for most of
you that means 130-165 bpm)
Time: • how long should I work out for? • minimum of 20 minutes

Option 1: If you would like a video to follow: Here's a 37 minute workout from Fitness Blender. It includes a warm-up and cool down.
Option 2: Prefer a Darebee workout? Check this one out. Remember choose your level, I, II or III. You will need to do a warm-up before starting this one. Because this option won't as long, you will want to perform it at a higher intensity.
Option 3: Rather do something less structured? There's lots of exercises that allow you to work on cardio: brisk walking, jogging, cycling, rowing, hiking, skipping, roller blading, etc. Just make sure your heart rate is in your target zone and you are participating in the activity for at least 20 minutes. The less intense the exercise, the longer you should perform it for.
Remember to submit your PE Journal. Have a good workout!
