There are some basic plyometric (jump training) moves that can help you increase your cardio base, and they can be done at home, while traveling for work, or on vacation. Just make sure you are wearing quality, supportive shoes. Jump training can be taxing on your joints, so if you have an exercising injury or pain, please get an ok from your physician first.

Try doing each exercise from 30-60 seconds, each with 30s seconds downtime. Do 3-4 rotations. Rest briefly (but don’t let your heart rate go to low down) and do it again. The rotation can be done as:
-
1.Butt Kick
-
-
2.High Knee jog in place
-
-
3.Jumping Jacks
-
-
4.Squat Jumps
-
-
5.Tire (jump side-diagonal to other side and back)

Plyometrics explosive movements demand that your muscles contract repetitively. This builds strength, power, and agility. It increases heart-rate quickly, which makes it a great calorie-burning cardio exercise to add to your workout plan.
