The No-Equipment Workout To Improve Your Cardio

No matter what your physical goals may be, you would do well to increase your work capacity.

Increased work capacity means the ability to handle more work (DUH!) as well as your ability to recover from said work. Increased work capacity means you can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’ – and improving whatever skill or quality you may be working on, from strength to endurance and everything in between. More work + more recovery = more results.

There are a million and one ways to boost your work capacity (I’m estimating) but one of my favorite ways is a simple one-two punch that will leave your muscles pumping, your heart pounding, and your lungs heaving, all without draining your energy – allowing you to go hard even very regularly without over-taxing your recovery abilities. Win-win.

A solid combo of crawling and marching gets my vote for a quick, (relatively) painless way to crank up the dial on your training while still staying on track to your goals. They are simple movements – ingrained within everyone’s brain to do as you grow and develop – and will also improve your coordination and strength while making you stronger and more resilient.
