Cardio Focus: Interval Training

Try to contain your excitement as we once again tackle interval today. You've got the same options as last week, so pick your poison and get to work! Your options:

Option 1: Treadmill Interval
Option 2: Speed & Endurance
Option 3: Choose your own interval activity by alternating high intensity and low intensity exercise for 20-30 minutes.

Strength & Flexibility Focus:

After you cool down, take some time to stretch or do the Mat Workout.

Nutrition Focus: Multi-Vitamins

In an ideal world, we would all eat balanced, healthy meals that contain all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Now, doesn't that sound lovely? The reality is that most of us don't get everything we need from food. Experts know this and that's why they recommend we take a multi-vitamin. If you aren't already taking one, now is a great time to start.

Motivation

Remember yesterday when we talked about triggers? You wrote those little notes to yourself? Today, you’re going to go one better. Since you’re doing cardio today, I want you to tell 3 different people about your workout. Describe what you’re going to do and what time you’re doing it, what gym you’re going to and how hard you plan on working. Sure, you might bore them to death, but you’ll get something out of it—every time you tell someone you’re working out, you’re recommitting yourself to that workout. Plus, they might just ask you about it tomorrow and you want to be able to say you did it, right?
