Yesterday was a cardio day... which meant that I would have to either get on my treadmill and walk or put in a Tae Bo DVD. Neither one of those sounded good to me. I needed to find something that would be fun to do and would pass the time quickly... I get bored easily. So, I pick up my SELF magazine and find THIS article:

"Take Inches Off"

To boost your calorie burn, do this 25-minute cardio workout, developed by trainer Tim Adams, up to five days per week. Walk, run, swim or bike. It's your choice. By day 6, you'll look and feel slimmer!

Time= Phase Perceived = level of exertion*
3 minutes = warm up= 3
30 seconds = sprint= 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
2 minutes = recover = 3
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover = 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
90 seconds = recover= 4
30 seconds = sprint = 9
5 minutes = cool down = 3

*Rate your intensity on a scale of 1 to 10. One is about the effort it takes to raise a glass of wine to your lips. A 10 is a "Whoa, Nelly! I can hardly speak" effort.

It KICKED my butt!!! I finished it... but I haven't dripped sweat like that since my honeymoon!! LOL You guys have to give it a try. The short bursts of sprints raises your heartbeat and keeps it there for the whole 25 minutes...it was an awesome workout!! I cant wait to do it again!!!! (did I just say that?)

So Randi and I are working out together for the next month... or at least on the same days!!LOL... Hopefully this will keep us both motivated to keep it up!

I stepped on the scale this morning to see what my run last night did ... 188.5??? Yeah, I think its broken. I'm pretty sure you cant lose 20 lbs over night... that would be nice... but I dont think so. I'm going to have to figure out how to reset the thing.. I know my munchkins have been playing with it, so who knows what they have managed to do to it!! WI is on Sunday... so I better step it up a notch!

Find you focus... and then full steam ahead!
