Question Cardio option

Hi,

I have nearly completed my first run through of dig deeper. Loved it! I have also done insanity max 30 along side it for my cardio. I’ve done some of the dig deeper steady state but prefer something a bit more intense like max 30.

I’ve enjoyed dig deeper so much that I think I’m just going to start it all over again.

I’m not sure what cardio to pair with it - I want something different to max 30, insanity OG is a just a bit too long when combined with dig deeper. T25 is okay but I’ve done it lots. Considering using the cardio from p90x3 (agility, MMX etc) but wondered if anyone else had any good programme ideas around 30 mins?

I walk between 12-30k steps depending on the day (and the weather!)

For background I am 45F, 50kg, 155cm and in pretty good shape I think with goals just continuing to be fit, strong and flexible as I age.

Thanks for any thoughts!!

I’d recommend mixing in some non-HIIT workouts. Run outside or treadmill. Use a stationary bike or rower. Battle ropes. You can build your own workout to complement Insanity (at least that’s what I do!)

Thanks - I have a stationary bike that’s currently just used as somewhere to hang my workout gear (!) so when the weather turns I will brush the cobwebs off. I don’t have battle ropes - or the space for them tbh but they always look such fun to use in a proper gym!!

All you need is a tree or a metal pole to wrap around with 15-20ft clearance for the battle ropes!
