Cardio Monday


Since this is the second week, you should pick up your intensity a little more this week from last.

Today I want a long workout, yet intense. So we'll split them up because you can't do an intense workout for longer than 20 minutes. So the first ten minutes will be intense, and the next 20-30 minutes will mellow out.

Minutes:
1.0 - 3.0: Warm up
4.0-5.0: 80% of heart rate max (sprint)
5.0-6.0: Recover
6.0-7.0: Sprint
7.0-8.0: Recover
8.0-9.0: Sprint

Do this until you reach 15 minutes

15.0 - 40.0: Go up and down gradually, but never get up to 80% of HRM. Keep the intensity low so you can get more time in and burn more calories. Make sure you have some good music because the slow days are always the most boring :)
