What cardio exercises can be done in a small space?

Answer:
  • Jumping in place, jumping jacks, any other form of jumping jacks, marching in place with high knees and very quickly. There are many things you can do. Anything that gets you moving at a good pace is cardio. You can pretend jump rope or if you have enough room you can actually jump rope.
 
  • Turn on music and dance to it and keep moving. Do some moves with your arms overhead (Y.M.C.A.!) Skip, jump, hop on one foot.
 
  • Assuming you have enough space to lie down, stand up and move your arms and legs freely, you can have a great cardio workout in almost any space. The trick is to discipline yourself to not allow long periods of rest between exercises that will allow you heart rate to drop back down. Even actions as simple as sitting on the floor and standing quickly, safely though, can do the trick.
  • Here are just some small space exercises that can be employed. Jumping Jacks Ski strides Torso twists Torso twist to toes Running in place High knees. Bend and Thrusts Push ups Mt. Climbers Leg Lifts Crunches Alt Crunches Bicycling on back Flutter kicks Flutter side kicks Dophin raises. Pick seven and do several reps, of each, very brief pauses, between, and focus on form and a steady pace.Just drink enough water.
 
  • Jogging in place, ski master, cardio walking on a treadmill, gazell, or spar. There are a lot of things you can do in a small space.
  • Brisk walking or jogging on a treadmill is excellent cardio exercise when done properly. For more information see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions
