Cardio Focus: Active Rest

Do something vigorously. As in--vigorously wash the car. Or vigorously weed the garden. Anything counts--as long as it's vigorous.

Strength & Flexibility Focus: Total Body Workout

You're doing the same workout as last week, still doing at least 2 sets of each exercise with 30-60 seconds of rest in between. The difference is that you'll add 2 reps per exercise, using enough weight that you can ONLY complete 12-14 reps.

Nutrition Focus: Nutrition News

Of all the newsletters I get in my inbox (and believe me, I get a ton of them), my favorite comes from our very own Nutrition at About.com. Shereen's weekly newsletters highlight her latest content and information about nutrition and weight loss.

Motivation

Laughing is fun, isn't it? This week, I'm pointing you to some of my favorite websites for a laugh or too because life is more fun and at this point in the program, you could probably use a giggle. Today, I cracked up over this Motivation slideshow at Humor Village. Hope you crack up too.
