I can't wait until I start taking my rest days on Sunday's. I just have no desire to workout on Sunday's anymore. Anyways, today was cardio. I did Cardio Coach #7 and did excellent with it. I'm going to keep track of the way I'm doing this particular workout until I reach my goals with it.

***By the 10th inverval which is the 5th sprint I felt like I could go faster. My endurance is really coming along well. I have reached my goal with this challenge, I need to increase my speed next time.[/font]

63 min.
54 min. in zone

That is all.
Hope you all have a great Sunday!
Anne - I did this rotation last year at this time and got excellent muscle gain with it. I love doing total body workouts, just not endurance ones anymore. And yes, I had massive junk food yesterday. Enjoyed every bite too!
