Quick Help Needed on Workout

[tygra]

Hi All

I am doing the Aug 05 Bootcamp rotation and today calls for a 5 mile run. I am not able to run 5 miles, just starting now to run a few blocks, walk, run. Plus it's super cold outside. Could I do Cardio Fusion with 200 jacks in place of it? Any other suggestions?

Thanks much for your help!

Jog in place in your house or inside through the rooms or jump rope.

Cardio Fusion is a killer! I say go for it.

Or do CF, the jacks, and add jumping rope. That should do it! Good luck.

Any of the Imaxes are a good sub for running...

Thanks- how long would you suggest?

I say yes. Cardio Fusion is a killer! Be warned that running in place will KILL your calves if you try to do it for the equivalent of 5 miles. It would mine anyway. I don't think I'd be able to walk for a month. }(

Or listen to Carole. She's the queen of running! She knows best!!! If you have Imaxes I agree with her! If not, Cardio Fusion.

Thanks! This week had Imax, Imax 2 and Imax 3 in it already....still an okay idea to do one? I'd pick #2 of course.

You did all the Imaxes this week!! YEOW....maybe Cardio Fusion then....

It might get kind of boring too. Another good cardio option would be HC Extreme #3 which alternates between Imax 3 segments and KM BC Challenge segments (something like 2 Imax step and intervals, 5 BC Challenge intervals, 2 Imax step intervals, last 5 BC Challenge interval, then 1 or 2 more Imax intervals, ending with the leg drills from KM). You could skip the leg drills and just do the cardio which clocks in under one hour or do the leg drills too for good measure. The cardio portion of this workout feels like running to me!

Thanks, ladies! I have a few times this rotation to "run" so I'll use these workout ideas instead.

Appreciate everyone's help!!!!

THANKS!

so, I did the Cardio Fusion mix and match premix that's 80 minutes, do I still need to add the 200 jacks.

Whew!

That's awesome, I'm impressed. Glad you got enough suggestions to find something you like. All the IMAX's in one week, WOW!
