Your Daily Workout: 8-Minute Cardio Flow and Go

By the Editors of SilverSneakers |

Get your heart pumping and have fun with this do-anywhere routine.

Walking, biking, swimming, and SilverSneakers classes are amazing ways to get a good cardio workout. But even on days you can’t leave your house or are stuck in a small space, you can get your heart pumping and blood flowing.

In this video, the first follow-along workout in our Fit for Life Challenge, fitness expert David Jack leads you through a fun cardio workout you can do anywhere. “All you need is some open space, a happy face, a little bit of water to stay hydrated, and a towel to dab down if you want,” Jack says.

You’ll get started with an easy march then move on to V steps, side steps, small kicks, and punches. As always, go at your own pace, and listen to your body.

“You can map the movement first by taking slow, controlled steps,” Jack says. “When you feel comfortable, you can start moving your arms or adding some claps.”
