This week, you're doing a more advanced treadmill interval workout. Remember that interval workouts involve increasing your intensity for short periods of time and then recovering. This allows you to work harder and burn more calories, while building endurance in a shorter period of time. Feel feel free to go back to previous workouts if they work better for you.
Beginners: Try this more advanced Treadmill Interval Workout 2.
Intermediate/Advanced: Continue with your Treadmill Medley Workout or visit my Cardio Page for more ideas.
Strength and Flexibility Focus: Flexibility
Do your Stretching Workout after you cool down from your cardio workout.
Nutrition Focus: Fruit
You already know that fruit is good for you, but I bet you don't eat enough of it. There are plenty of good reasons to eat fruit. Fruit is:
- Full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
- Naturally low in fat and calories
- A great source of fiber
- A helpful tool in weight loss--eating fruit will fill you up, leaving you better able to avoid temptation
- Yummy.
For all of these reasons and more, your assignment today is to eat at least 3 servings of fruit today. Slice a banana and put it on your cereal, add dried cranberries to your salad or have a small glass of orange juice. Remember, frozen or canned fruit is just as good.
Motivation
This week, I'm going to help you find motivation with a little quiet time. Today, I want you to find five minutes to sit down and list 10 things about your body you love. Write a short sentence describing why you love that part of your body. Keep that list somewhere visible so, whenever you feel like giving up, you'll have a reminder that there's so much more to you than flaws and imperfections.
