This 20 minute cardio circuit lets you ditch the treadmill

Jay Cardiello, a personal trainer for celebrities like 50 Cent and Kevin Love, keeps his clients moving with a mix of jumps, squats, and more to get a good cardio workout – minus the treadmill. All you need is some space to move, 20 minutes, and the willingness to get sweaty.
