Travel fitness: 100 Workout Basic Step Raw circuit training

Af Marina Aagaard, MFT

The 100 Workout of the day is based on the seven basic steps of Sports Aerobic plus three variations. A cardiovascular, and maybe stamina, workout.
For fast and easy exercise in the gym, at the job, at home or when you travel.

100 workouts are popular time-efficient circuit training workouts with a common feature:

10 or fewer exercises repeated 10-100 times or for a period of 10-100 seconds.
There are numerous models. Here is an easy one.

I designed this for Travel Fitness and for Ski Fitness (part of workout) and it works; your heart rate and energy level increases – as well as energy consumption.

The workout consists of raw basic steps in mixed impact with the feet in and out of contact with the surface, but it can be adapted as desired for pure

High impact, with propulsion, both feet leave the ground (replace walk with gallop).

Low impact, with one foot on the ground at all times (replace jack with step out jack).

Too hard? Lower intensity by using smaller movements and slower tempo.

Too easy? Increase intensity by using bigger movements and faster tempo.
