FOR TODAY'S CARDIO, LET'S SPEND AN HOUR OF QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR FAVORITE MACHINE. Or, if you have a favorite activity/class that you can't bear starting your workout week without, do that instead. Otherwise, pick your poison: will it be the TREADMILL? The GAUNTLET? Or perhaps the ROWER? You can choose any one of the machines that you've trained on over the last few weeks. After a 5-minute warm-up, begin alternating your pace; try 5 minutes at top speed, then slow it down for 5 minutes. If you're using a machine like the gauntlet or the bike, choose the "hill" program. Continue varying your pace and the incline (if possible) every 5 minutes for 50 minutes. Cool down for 5 minutes, and treat yourself to a lengthy stretch.
