CARDIO: CLASS/ACTIVITY OR 55 MINUTES OF MACHINES. Either head for the Thaibo/Boot Camp/Spin class that you so adore, or hit the cardio machines. Try to move from machine to machine rapidly, keeping your heart rate in the fat-burning zone. Spend the first five minutes warming up on either the TREADMILL, then run for 15 minutes at a steady pace. Stepping off, head for the GAUNTLET. (If your gym doesn't have one of these, you can substitute the STAIRMASTER.) Climb for 15 minutes at a steady pace, taking nice, deep breaths. Stepping off, head for the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER (or a NORDIC TRAC) and glide for another 15 minutes. Finish 15 minute row on the ROWER, followed by a five minute cooldown. Spend extra time today stretching out your quads, hamstrings, and calves.
