Outdoor Workout

What do you think about first when you think about cardio? That’s right, running. Pounding the pavement, putting one foot in front of the other rapidly, going in circles around a track. Luckily, you don’t have to run to do cardio at home – in fact, no-running cardio is preferred for longevity and health purposes. Toss out the treadmill and get ready to reap the rewards of cardio without losing your knees in the process.

Aerobic and anaerobic exercises are the antithesis of each other yet can yield incredible results separately or together. From PVL’s point of view, implementing both throughout the week  could significantly boost athleticism, aesthetics, and general health.

If you’ve signed up for a 5k or 10k and have never run those types of races before, don’t panic! There’s a training method designed to prepare you to run those daunting distances to the best of your ability. And PVL has that exact training modality for you!
