Cardio Workout Day!

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday I kept it simple and had a cardio day (If you're not a runner check out the cardio HIIT workout below!) Jesse took our nephew to the movies, so I moved my Lower Body Workout day so we could stay consistent and get it filmed to share here. (That will be posted later tonight or early tomorrow morning before I head off to work.)

I should have taken my run outside to take advantage of the sunshine (it's been a wacky summer, and it seems to be cool and rainy most of the time), but instead I hopped on the treadmill so I could finish the book I was reading and get my workout done at the same time. 

I did a 3 mile run, followed by 2 miles of walking. It took about 24 minutes for the run, and 28 minutes for the walk (total workout time 52 minutes). I meant to do a 5 minute walk as my cool-down, but I got caught up in my book and stayed on longer. 

The workout below is more intense than the run I did yesterday, but it's a great cardio challenge. It's a workout that I like to go back to periodically as a fitness check point. I like to keep track of my reps and then try to increase the number I get in during each 50 second interval. It's fun and motivating to compete with yourself. 

Enjoy the workout!
