Cardio Cardio Cardio

Let's face it....you can do all the sit ups, crunches, and core work in the world, but if you don't burn the fat over the muscle you'll never reach the prize!  So cardio is my main focus right now (as well as eating right....I'll get there another day).  I recently bought a treadmill online for a steal.  The catch, it's on a constant 10% incline, so it's kicks my butt and it's very hard to run on.  So for now I'm doing a lot of fast walking with some jogging intervals.

This week I've been using music for my intervals.  Sometimes watching the time just makes things drag on....  So get yourself a pumped up playlist that's about 35-45 minutes long.  The first song is your warm up, for me 2 mph.  Then I alternate 2.5 mph and 3 mph as the songs change.  I may throw in a 3.5 from time to time.  I cool down with 2 mph on the last song.  Have fun with it!  Music is your friend when it comes to cardio, let it get you moving.

I love this saying!
