Cardio

Ok one hour of cardi... How high impact does this need to be?
I have a hard time being hands free to jump around for 20 mins let alone an hour. So I just spent an hour dancing with my baby. Hardly elevates the heart rate, wondering if I'm wasting my time?

The good news is he's sleeping lol the bad news is he won't let me put him down.

I do 1 hour on the treadmill.

I don't have a treadmill and no way Ds would be game to that lol is walking enough?

Apparently holding a weight while doing cardio helps lose more calories not sure we're I read it but if you carry a child say 1mile you would lose more calories then walking 1mile without the child x

Put him in a stroller & go for a long walk? Or get a treadmill & a decent baby carrier & go for walk at nap time? When I was briefly using the Wii fit when ds4 was younger & clingier, I'd put him of my back in the MT or Boba & exercise.

I went out and bought a cheap heart rate monitor - I can go for walks all I want but unless I can get my heart rate up it's rather pointless. I was doing HIIT up til today. Hoping I can pull an hour of cardio off 6 days a week. 😁😏

It has to be intense for you & only you. Make yourself sweat a bit and get your heart rate up. That's all. :twocents:

I guess it just has to be intense enough to where your actually burning calories...for me on the treadmill I normally burn 400 calories for that hour. Atomic would be better at answering.
