Beginners: Last week you had a choice of 3 different workouts: Treadmill Intervals, Elliptical Intervals or Stationary Bike Intervals. This week, choose a different workout than what you did last week. You can also do your own interval workout by alternating two minutes of high intensity cardio (speed walking, running, hill-walking, etc.) with 3 minutes of low intensity exercise to recover. Alternate for 25 or more minutes. Challenge: Make sure your workout is at least 5 minutes longer than your workouts last week.
Intermediate/Advanced: Choose one of these workouts, each of which involves different cardio machines at the gym. You can also visit my Workout Center for more ideas. Challenge: Add 3-5 minutes to your cardio workout
Strength and Flexibility Focus: Flexibility
Try this short Total Body Stretch after your cardio. If you can, try to hold each stretch for 5-10 seconds longer than usual.
Nutrition Focus: Staying Hydrated
One way to help control your weight is to stay hydrated--water fills you up and keeps you from being thirsty, which often feels like hunger. Keep in mind that you don't just have to drink water--many fruits and vegetables contain water as well as other healthy drinks--tea, juice, etc. Try to drink at least one extra glass of water today.
