We get it – everyone wants a bomb body, but nobody wants to put in the work. Sure, a quick 5 km on the treadmill sounds doable…until you find yourself on the treadmill, bored and dreading your last 3 kms. If this sounds all too familiar, it’s about time for you to consider other options.
These 6 alternative cardio classes are sure to take you out of your fitness funk today:
