Work It Into Everyday Tasks

If you frequently walk to work or to run errands, pick up the pace — even a short power walk can help get your heart rate up. Similarly, you could take the stairs when possible at home or at work, adding in a few flights for a short workout when you've got the time.

"Other things that can count as cardio include dancing with your friends, carrying heavy groceries up the stairs, and running to catch the train," Lyuda Bouzinova, an ACE-certified personal trainer and founder of online workout platform Mission Lean, told POPSUGAR.
