CARDIO: CLASS/ACTIVITY OR 70 MINUTES OF MACHINES. Either head for a Spin/Boot Camp/Kickboxing class, or hit the cardio machines. Spend the first five minutes warming up on either the TREADMILL. Then run for 20 minutes on a steep incline, carefully monitoring your heart rate. Stepping off, head for the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER (or a NORDIC TRAC) and glide for another 20 minutes (try holding a set of light dumbbells during this exercise.) Next, spend 20 minutes pedaling away on the STATIONARY BIKE, adjusting the resistance up a notch every 5 minutes to make the ride harder. Finish with a five minute cooldown. Spend extra time today stretching out your quads, hamstrings, and calves.
