Day 012 - Complete Cardio Circuit

New activity or: WU 5 min. Treadmill 5 min. Bike 5 min. Gauntlet 5 min. Rower 5 min. Ellip. Trainer 5 min. Treadmill 5 min. CD 5 min. & stretch.        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY, DO 40 MINUTES OF SPORTS OR CARDIO CIRCUIT TRAINING. Here's a thought: why not check out that swimming pool/basketball pick-up game/softball league today? Or, if circumstances prevent it, head to the gym for a complete cardio circuit workout. Warm up for 5 minutes on the TREADMILL, then elevate the speed and incline and walk briskly for 5 minutes. On the STATIONARY BIKE, pedal for the next 5 minutes, increasing the speed and resistance until pedaling is moderately difficult. Step off, and head for the GAUNTLET or STAIRMASTER, and climb flights of stairs for exactly 5 minutes. Next head to the ROWER, keeping your back flat as you row, row, row your boat for 5 minutes. Next, the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER or NORDIC TRAC, swishing along for 5 minutes (try not to use your arms to hold on to the elliptical trainer.) Finally, back to the TREADMILL for a 5-minute walk/jog, and a 5-minute cooldown. We kept your attention, didn't we? Focus on taking nice, deep breaths as you stretch out today.
