Turn up the Heat!

You've made your midday snack - No Cook Protein Bar - listed on Monday.

You've started eating breakfast - listed today.

Now is time to add in the cardio workouts this week.  Here we go 18 days til Spring 106 til Summer!

It's time to turn up the heat and burn more calories.  Now before you ask me about why did you add a midday snack....because you need it! More on why later.  For now lets focus on getting you moving and grooving. 

Unfortunately it's still Winter out and the weather is playing right along with the season.. so if being out side in the cold is not your thing, trust me I feel you.  But if you want to get right you have to get moving.  So get ready to visit the GYM! 

If you are currently active in the gym then its time to change up your routine and ADD on.  Adding on an additional 30mins to your workout will help you to burn at least 200 more calories!

If you are a member of  a gym start taking some cardio driven classes like SPIN!  Look at the schedule and take a class TODAY!  Not sure what to do in the gym.  Try my intense but very doable treadmill routine:

Start on a 1 incline walk for 3-5 minutes to warm up

Start picking up the pace to a comfortable power walk increase to an 2 incline for 3 mins

Every 3 mins increase the incline of treadmill by 2 degree's

Here is what it looks like:
5 minutes - Incline on 1
5-8 minutes - Incline on 2
8-11 minutes - Incline on 4
11-14 minutes - Incline on 6
14-17 minutes - Incline on 8
17-20 minutes - Incline on 6
20-23 minutes - Incline on 4
23-26 minutes Incline on 2
26-30 minutes Incline on 1 - Slow down and cool down!
PS. No holding on to the treadmill, use your arms.

Have fun! For best results follow this Cardio Plan 3 times per week. 

Until Tomorrow:
