If you're looking for a quick but effective way to kickstart your energy and get your blood pumping, fitness and meditation instructor Nikki Nie has got you covered with this 30-minute cardio class. Designed to energize and challenge you at any skill level, this bodyweight workout is inspired by the natural power of Nature's Sunshine Power Beets Superfood Performance Booster—meaning you'll not only feel the burn but also support better blood flow and recovery. No equipment? No problem. Just press play, follow along, and let Nie guide you through a series of dynamic moves that’ll leave you feeling strong and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
Why This Workout Works
Cardio doesn’t have to mean endless treadmill sessions or grueling sprints. Nie’s approach blends functional movement with heart-pumping intensity, ensuring you get the most out of every minute. The routine is built around bodyweight exercises, meaning you don’t need dumbbells, resistance bands, or even a yoga mat—just enough space to move freely. The inspiration from Power Beets isn’t just a gimmick; beets are packed with nitrates that help improve circulation, boost endurance, and speed up recovery. So whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this workout is designed to meet you where you are while pushing you just enough to feel that satisfying burn.
Meet Your Guides
Nikki Nie isn’t flying solo—she’s joined by class members Nikki Keeshin and Poofy Moffitino, who demonstrate modifications and advanced variations throughout the routine. This means you can tailor the intensity to your fitness level without missing a beat. Nie’s background in both fitness and meditation brings a unique balance to the session, ensuring that while your heart rate climbs, your mind stays focused and engaged. And let’s be real, having multiple instructors showing different versions of the moves means no one gets left behind—whether you're modifying for comfort or cranking it up for an extra challenge.
What to Expect in the Routine
The workout kicks off with a dynamic warm-up to get your muscles primed and your heart rate gradually rising. From there, Nie leads you through a mix of high-energy movements—think jumping jacks, squat pulses, and mountain climbers—interspersed with active recovery to keep you going strong. The beauty of bodyweight cardio is that it’s endlessly adaptable; if jumping isn’t your thing, you can step it out. If you want more intensity, Nie and her team show you how to add power to every rep. The final stretch includes a cooldown designed to bring your heart rate down gently while promoting flexibility and relaxation—because recovery is just as important as the sweat session itself.
How Power Beets Enhance Your Performance
You might be wondering why a superfood like beets plays a role in this workout. The answer lies in science: beets are rich in dietary nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide in the body. This compound helps widen blood vessels, improving oxygen delivery to your muscles and boosting stamina. Nature’s Sunshine Power Beets takes it a step further by concentrating these benefits into an easy-to-use performance booster. Whether you take it before or after your workout, it supports better blood flow, reduces fatigue, and helps your body bounce back faster. So while you’re sweating it out with Nie, your body’s getting an extra edge from the inside out.
Making It Work for You
The best part about this routine? It’s designed for real life. No fancy gear, no complicated choreography—just straightforward, effective movements that you can do anywhere. If you’re short on time, you can split it into shorter segments. If you want a longer burn, repeat the sequence. And if you’re feeling extra motivated, pair it with a meditation session led by Nie to balance out the intensity with some mindfulness. The key is consistency, not perfection. Show up, move, and let the endorphins do the rest.
Ready to get started? Press play, follow Nie’s lead, and let this 30-minute cardio blast remind you just how strong you are. Whether you’re looking to jumpstart your morning, break up a long workday, or unwind with movement, this routine is your ticket to feeling energized, empowered, and ready for anything.
