Day 075 - Improving Strength

15-minute Strength (ST) training routine at level 1 intensity, cool down by stretching for 15 minutes. 10-minute Body Speed (SP) run at level 2 intensity with 10 minute warm-up and cool-down.        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY, DO 15-MINUTES OF STRENGTH (ST) TRAINING, FOLLOWED BY 15 MINUTES OF STRETCHING. You should be getting stronger by now, with the new exercises getting easier. One consequence of this improved strength may be a slight increase in weight, don't panic. As long as your are consistently burning more calories than you consume each day, you'll be losing fat stores. But you may also be gaining some muscle, which weighs more than fat, and thus, your weight may not go down like you would like. Instead of focusing on your weight, focus on how your clothes fit or how you look. ALSO DO 10 MINUTES OF RUNNING BODY SPEEDS AT LEVEL 2 INTENSITY. Your body speeds should get 1-2 seconds faster every 2-3 weeks, remember to relax and release the speed.
