This basic cardio workout takes you through a moderate 20 minute routine where you'll alternate between a baseline, moderate level and a slightly higher level by changing your settings. This workout is designed to be used with any cardio machine and you'll use this Perceived Exertion chart to match how you feel to the suggested Perceived Exertion levels . Your baseline level should feel harder than your warm up, taking you just out of your comfort zone. Keep in mind that your settings may change as you get deeper into the workout and start to get tired. The idea is to find your baseline wherever it may be, even if you have to reduce your speed, incline, resistance, etc.
