Total Workout: Latin Cardio

When it comes to getting the most out of your total workout, you have to start from the inside out — you have to take care of tu corazón. But going from cero a ciento isn’t always easy, and that’s why we’ve come up with Total Workout: Latin Cardio, with los éxitos Latinos that make it a breeze to match up el ritmo de la música to the tempo of your ticker. So pour on some reggaeton “Gasolina” courtesy of Daddy Yankee, Lil Jon, Noriega & Pitbull; kill it to the samba-style pulso of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs’ “El Matador”; and admire the glorious results with Shakira’s guapisima truth-teller “Hips Don’t Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean).”

“I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” crunks Miami animal Pitbull, and we know you want another Latin Cardio playlist, in Next Steps.

The objective? That sweet, all-over cardio buzz. The method? Pushing past el impulso natural to sit on the sofa — with some help from our Total Workout: Latin Cardio superstars, of course. Consider Tex-Mex royalty the Kumbia Kings your own personal iTunes trainers, lighting a workout “Fuego” before handing you over to Calle 13 and the go-for-it swagger of the reggaeton challenge “Atrévete-te-te,” Enrique Iglesias and the no-excuses command of a tough-and-tender “No Me Digas Que No (feat. Wisin & Yandel),” and the keep-movin’ rush of Ozomotli and an en-el-momento “Can’t Stop.”

“Cuando, Cuando Es?” ask J King y Maximan, and when it comes to more Total Workout: Latin Cardio, we say “¡ahorita!”, in Deep Cuts.

We all know that the ultimate enemigo of your total workout is el aburrimiento. And that’s where we come in, with a Deep Cuts playlist designed to keep the fun alive, and your organism working towards your heart-pumping, fat-melting fitness goals. See, it doesn’t matter what you do, so long as you do it, so — ¿porqué no? — try out a slinky “Belly Danza” to los ritmos exóticos de Don Omar & Beenie Man, or a living-room “Cumbia” to the Latin mash-up sonidos of the Mexican Institute of Sound, or any other freeform activity you care to enjoy to Nina Sky’s all-purpose workout command “Move Ya Body.”

Es la verdad — when it comes to fitness, you gotta have heart. After all, keeping up with your cardio helps you incinerate calories and body fat, strengthen your heart and lungs, uplift your outlook, and sleep better at night. And, hey, don’t forget the rush! So what’s la manera mejor to achieve your worthy cardio goals? Matching up your inner beat to los ritmos Latinos of our very Essential Total Workout: Latin Cardio.

Pitbull),” to Omega and the electro flow of a “Merengue Electronico,” to Don Omar & Lucenzo and the global initiative of “Danza Kuduro,” we make it easy to slip into your treadmill tempo, your StairMaster stride, your superstar spin cycle, or any other heart-starter activity that makes la vida worth livin’.
