I learned a lot in my life from my dad. He's into cool old hot rods (I grew up around and working on cars), he likes old rock & roll and motown music, we always watched college football together, and he's the one that was the main driving and supporting force for me when I decided to pour my efforts into working out (a lot of what I do now is still based on stuff he taught me) as a teenager.
My dad was also a pretty sharp dude. Among a lot of other things, he taught me the value of effective communication, common sense, and maybe most importantly of working smart, rather than hard.
Let's talk about that last one for a minute.
He always told me that it was more effecient - and easier - to work smart instead of working hard. To do this, you want to always find the most effective way of doing something. It could mean finding a way to utilize certain tools, finding a way to put in less effort to accomplish the same goals, or it could simply be a certain method or set of actions that make what you're doing more of a "process" rather than just running around like a chicken with your head cut off. As long as it doesn't mean shortcutting progress or quality, then why wouldn't you?
In most areas of life, I'd say that the lesson of working smart instead of hard is one of the most valuable lessons you can learn. However, such isn't necessarily the case when it comes to your cardio workouts.
There are some areas of the fitness industry in which working smart vs. working hard has become quite a topic of discussion. Most of the time, this has been because somebody is backing or promoting something that supposedly lets you do more work. And if you're doing more work, you're getting more benefit, right?
Not necessarily.
I'll come back to cardio workouts in a minute, but let's look at strength training for a second. I can take virtually anybody that's not a trained powerlifter and increase their bench press by as much as 20-30 lbs. in under 20 minutes.
A buddy of mine is a local strength coach and owns his own sports performance gym. He routinely take his athletes (usually high school kids) and adds a couple inches to their vertical jump in literally their first workout.
How are such gains possible? Is it because we're amazing coaches?
No - it's because we've taken trainees, and helped them use better technique. And with better technique, the trainee was able to lift more and jump higher. Are they really any stronger or more explosive? Not really - now they're just a little better at expressing the strength and power they already have.
So, how does this apply to your cardio workouts?
Your body is an amazing machine, but there are things that even it can't do. For example, when you're strength training, your body has no idea what kind of weight it's lifting - only that it's working. Your body doesn't know if it's lifting a barbell, a dumbbell, or a sandbag. It only knows how hard it has to work.
Same goes for your cardio workouts.
To increase your cardio, there are no technique improvements that will increase your aerobic or anaerobic capacities. You just have to do the work. And that means effort. And effort is hard.
While there might be certain exercises or methods of exercise that are more beneficial than others, the main thing that will give credence to your cardio workouts will be how much effort you're putting in.
For example, walking and running are pretty much the same thing - one is just a much mroe intense version of the other. Same would go for doing a circuit of dumbbell complexes. You could do the exact same circuit with a pair of 50-pound dumbbells, or a pair of 2-pound dumbbells. Which one do you think will be harder?
You can't really say that complex training is "more effective" than running, or vice versa, because it depends on how much effort you're putting in. The complexes with 50-pound dumbbells will be much harder than walking. However, running at a good clip very well might be harder than doing complexes with 2-pound dumbbells.
See where this is going?
If you want to increase your cardio, you're gonna have to work - and work hard - regardless of how "smart" your work is.
Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard.

performance. Matt Wiggins program does it all. It is fast, effective and you will feel like a complete bad ass when you're done. This is the type of training that that isn't all show and no go...it will create both the show and the go! Scientific, Fun, and Manly. Love it!"

"Not
just for the guys! The thing I like about Matt’s workout is that
it’s simple. That doesn’t mean it’s not hard! It’s
intense! It makes you feel like you’ve worked. And if you work
at it, you’ll get results. I like the format and the progressions
each week. Having done the workout myself and tested it on both my male
and female clients, I can say it’s not a workout that’s
just for guys. I really encourage women to give it a go, as much as
I encourage guys. The fact that you need minimal equipment and only
a small area in which to work really eliminates any excuse not to give
it a go!"

"I have
been a loyal customer of Wiggy's for 2 years now, and I’m so confident
in anything that Wiggy puts out, that I will guarantee you it will work. I’m
in my early 30’s and can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my
life and getting better. The new "Working Class Cardio Workout"
is AWESOME. If you want to get into real shape then look no further. Like any
workout you will only get what you put into it. No, it’s not easy but
you wouldn’t be reading this if you wanted to look like everyone else
at the gym. Like Wiggy always says “Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard”.
So pick it up, do what he says and you to will look better, feel better, and
believe in him like I do. God bless and good luck." "I'm Aaron's
Bonafede little brother, and we have been devout followers of your amazing strength
and conditioning programs for at least two years. They truly have transformed
my body into a work horse of a machine. I am a Firefighter who also does some
Jiu Jitsu on the side. I have been asked/told by more than one person, 'How
are you so strong?' or 'Do you ever get tired?' With the 'cardio workout' theme
I decided to keep the rest (wait there is no time to rest between all of those
wood choppers) to a minimum. By the time I was finished with the first workout,
I had soaked through a shirt and had to answer more questions then normal as
to what exactly I was doing. I knew it was another winner. I am confident this
program will take anybody's cardio and strength to the next level and beyond.
Thanks again for new ass kicking programs."

"First
thing that I've got to say is that I lost 5 pounds in the first 1.5 weeks of
your program...that's definately the workout I would follow before my official
fight...the combination of posterior and anterior chain exercises various other
sportsmen would find useful because of the amount of cleans and pushes combined
with anaerobic circuits."
Nikolay Ryzhkov

"...after
2 weeks of the cardio program, the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is
that my resting heartbeat is down about 3 beats per minutes. I’m down
a couple of pounds as well. My energy level appears to be higher (I’ve
got twin 4 year olds, so keeping my energy level high is very important)...At
43 years old I’m not concerned with being the biggest or the strongest,
just being in the best overall athlete I can be."
