Day 046 - Specificity

40 minute walk or jog at Level 1 intensity = 60-70% max. HR.        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY, DO A 40 MINUTE WALK, JOG, SWIM OR RIDE AT LEVEL 1 INTENSITY. Every 5 minutes, increase your pace for 25 seconds, then return to your level 1 pace. If you need to switch from walking to running, do so. If your goals center on a particular event, say the Race for the Cure, most of your workouts should be done walking or running. The more specific your training, the better you'll be at that particular activity, and thus, the better results at an event. If, however, you are interested primarily in getting in shape, then try all kinds of different activities, as long as your HR stays near the desired range for the right amount of time. You can even mix them up in a single workout, walk for 10 minutes, jog for 10, and ride a bike for 20 minutes.
