1. Rachel Gulotta

If I could pick only ONE person’s cardio workouts to do for the rest of my life: I’d pick Rachel Gulotta’s.  I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVVEEE her cardio videos….& for several reasons.  1) The video quality is of the highest caliber; 2) She offers modified moves for pretty much every exercise ~ & splits the screen so that you can see both the “harder” move & the “modified” one; 3) She gives 15 & 30-second breaks throughout the video, with beautiful, natural landscapes as the background ~ & if you’re doing high-intensity moves like she is, breaks are ESSENTIAL; & 4) Her music is exceptionally good. 

Plus, she doesn’t talk a lot ~ which is a personal preference thing, but I prefer listening to music rather than someone talking.

2. Pamela Reif

Similar to Rachel Gulotta, Pamela Reif doesn’t talk a lot in her videos.  She has a HUGE selection of videos, & if you enjoy dance cardio ~ she has a large collection of fun dance workouts, set to GREAT music…her workouts go by quickly.  Particularly if you live in an apartment & can’t jump around too much (due to downstairs neighbors), she offers you a lot of ways to get your cardio in without jumping.

3. Rebecca Louise & Blogilates = PEPPY!!

Rebecca Louise is one of my favorite YouTube workout gals: she has over 600 videos to choose from (most of which are 10 minutes), & her PEPPY style will get you through the workout with a smile on your face.  Her “Legs + Cardio” video below is set on a hilltop in Santorini & is gorgeousss….a big plus is that she often films workouts in exotic locations around the world.  And she has several heart-pumping kickboxing workouts ~ one of the best is linked below. 

Blogilates is a new find for me on YouTube, & similar to Rebecca Louise….she’s veryyyy PEPPY!  Her workouts go by quickly, & I love how she details the moves first ~ then jumps you into the workout.  She typically repeats the same moves in two or three sets, so if you’d rather keep mixing it up: stick with Rachel Gulotta’s workouts (above).

Other good ways to get cardio in at home: grab a jump rope & head outside; jump on a mini-trampoline ~ even 10 minutes is a great little workout, & great for your circulation & lymphatic system.  If you find that your back or knees are bothering you at all, try modifying moves: & also make sure that you’ve changed your tennis shoes within 3-6 months (depending how active you are). 

And if you’re looking for some of THE BEST, buttery-soft, better-than-Lululemon leggings: check out these ones on Amazon.  They are soooo soft & yet stay up & in place while your heart is pumping with all that cardio…
