Hi Jeanie and Natalie and Rhea and Jeanette!
Well, here we go, new month, new workout. I've decided this month that I'm going to emphasize cardio endurance. I've gotten the anaerobic workouts going pretty well, and am doing better and better on strength. But I've notice that while I can do cardio, my endurance is not as good as it might be. So this month I think I'll focus on that in this way: I usually work in 2 anaerobic days and 2 strength days and 1 cardio/stretch day a week. I take one day off and that leaves me a free-for-all day.
Usually on my free-for-all day -- which is usually Saturday -- I do some circuit workout -- like Bootcamp or High Step Advanced or Circuit Max or Cardio and Weights. In this way, I feel as though I'm getting in a full rounded workout.
But I put on 3 pounds over the Easter holidays -- more than I put on at Christmas -- and that, combined with noticing that my cardio endurance isn't up to par has led me to believe that this might be a good month to emphasize that.;-)
So my plans are:
Monday: IMAX 2 -- my favorite
Tuedsay: Muscle Endurance -- my favorite
Wednesday: Some short cardio -- 25 min. and stretch
Thursday: Power Hour
Friday: IMAX 3 or LowMax
Saturday: Maximum Intensity Cardio
I've only done MIC once and I remember finding it difficult. I kept waiting for Cathe to put in intervals -- which she never does -- I think this is one workout that's all about endurance.
So there we go. A new month. We'll see if this helps me along to lose those 3 pounds.:7
