This cardio burnout workout is perfect to add to the end of any workout to really spike your heart rate and burn some extra calories!
Not every workout is going to be the best workout you’ve ever had. Sometimes the style of workout leaves you a little bored, you’re just not “feeling it”, or you finish your planned workout and realize you could handle a little bit more. In those situations, I like to add a quick burnout or finisher to the end of my workout. A burnout does just what the name describes — it burns you out and finishes you off! A burnout can be designed based on the muscle group you’ve trained, or it can simply spike your heart and help you burn a few more calories.
This quick cardio burnout workout is one I like to add on to an ab workout or any strength workout. I’m one of those weirdos who enjoys cardio, so if I don’t do it or if my heart rate isn’t up, I feel like my workout is missing something!

Other ideas for exercises to include in a burnout or finisher could be box jumps, rope slams, or sprints!
Question: Do you add burnouts or finishers to the end of your workouts?
I’m linking up for Wild Workout Wednesday with Annmarie, Jen, and Nicole!
This looks like a super sweaty workout, especially the 1 minute of burpees – holy moly!!
Yes!!! A minute straight of burpees is SO HARD!
Pinned for later and I can already feel the burn 😉
Thank you for sharing!!
I love quick workouts like this. When I REALLY don’t feel like working out, I try to do something that’s only 5-10 minutes long to at least get in a little sweating action.
Yes! I do that too!
I wish I could do these moves…but, arrrrgh, my knee ;-( (I’m saving this for later, though, like in a couple months)
Maybe it’ll give you something to look forward to.😜
What a great addition to a workout! I can’t wait until my elbow is better!
I hope you get to try it out!
Shame faced I will admit that I have no idea what a burpee is but it sound intense! My favorite way to exercise is walking and when I get back I sit down and pant like a dog! I need to do better! #merrymonday
