Effective Cardio and Leg Exercises to Do At Home

1. High Jump & Squat

Mere jumping burns 12 calories per minute. Trust me it works like magic when combined with squats. Now, when you jump and squat together, it increases your stamina which gives it a perfect kick-start to your workout session. It directly works on your thigh, hamstring, calf, and hip muscles.
Stand with your legs apart, bend a little, gather all your force and jump as high as you can, now land up on your feet and go down (make sure you have a 90-degree angle between your leg and thigh when you squat). Now repeat! (continue for 2 minutes)

2. Side Shuffle

This is a high rate workout. It targets your quads and inner thighs and helps you strengthen your core.
Stand with your legs apart and arms by your side. Shuffle your sides by taking a quick step to your right and lift the left leg up. Now land with your left leg and lift up your right knee. Swing the opposite arms while doing this. Repeat 20 times for each leg.

3. Lateral Lunges

This is majorly an inner thigh workout. Also, it challenges your body balance handling for the core. Stand with feet together. Hands-on your waist. Put your right foot wide-out to your right and bend into a lunge and bend your left knee. Now stand and repeat for the other side. Repeat the same 15 times for each leg.

4. Side Kick

This exercise helps to tone up your hips along with the hamstrings. Legs become quite flexible when one practices this daily. Go down to a camel position, grip your palms firmly to the ground. Stretch your right leg wide-out towards the right side and kick to the front (you will feel a stretch in your hamstrings). Now come back to the camel position and kick again. Repeat with the same leg for 10 repetitions. Continue with the left leg.

5. Spot Running

This is a complete cardio exercise. It makes you sweat a lot and works on your legs and calves. Stand still, bend your back a little towards your front. Fist up your palms and place it just below your chest. Now switch between your right and left foot and run on the same spot where you are standing. Increase your pace and keep switching rapidly. Continue for 1 minute, then halt for 30 seconds and repeat for 5 minutes.

Doing these exercises on a regular basis will deliver significant outcomes and you can have a healthy life ahead.
