Cardio Focus: Endurance

Yep, we're back to endurance today. What IS endurance anyway and why should you care? Endurance means you can go for a long time without stopping...not a bad thing to have.

Option 1: Cardio Endurance Workout
Option 2: Choose an activity and maintain a steady pace for 25-45 minutes. Be sure to warm up, cool down and stretch at the end of your workout.

Challenge: Add one or more of these Pylometric Moves at the end of your workout. Youch!

Strength & Flexibility Focus: Mat Workout

If you haven't tried it yet, this Mat Workout can really help you relax and work on your flexibility and ab strength.

Nutrition Focus: Pot Roast

I love pot roast. In fact, I wish I had some right now because slow-cooking a roast in the crock pot makes it moist and juicy. Learn more about why pot roast is so yummy then go make some. And send me a plate!

Motivation

I find that as I get older, time seems to move more quickly. In fact, just when I think it's January, I wake up and realize it's March. Man, I'm old. Managing your time is an important part of being healthy--it's also an important way to reduce your stress. Learn some excellent ways to manage your time better so you have more time for exercise! Oh, and other stuff, too.
