Opinions on cardio can be very divisive — people either love it or absolutely hate it. Regardless of your feelings toward it, however, cardio is an important part of any healthy workout routine.

This workout is a good way to inject some light cardio into your day without taking up too much of your precious time. Kick off this workout with some high knees followed by mountain climbers to get those legs warmed up. Give it your all for some wind sprints, and then jog it out to give yourself a break. Repeat two or three times, increasing or decreasing repetitions according to your ability.

1. High knees: 1 minute
2. Mountain climbers: 1 minute
3. Wind sprints: 2 minutes 
4. Jogging: 2 minutes
