HOMEWORK week of April 19

[Diana]

We're getting close to the end of the Challenge!
Only a few short weeks and we're taking measurements and finding a
winner!

This week, I want you to calculate all of your points from the start
until now and put them in a new post in your thread. So, if you have
workouts that haven't been counted, be sure to post those so you get
credit! The game is NOT over, so keep tallying!

This week is going to be centered around cardio. Most of us either
love it or hate it. Chime in and let me know how you feel about this
workout! I want you do do it at least once this week, and get in a
minimum of 30 minutes of cardio EVERY DAY. Yes...all 7.

For this you either need a treadmill, an elliptical, or a place to run
outside. I am going to use the RPE (rate of perceived exertion) Scale
of 1-10 to indicate the effort that you should be putting into each
phase.

*Warm up walk 2 min
*Jog 5 min. (RPE: 5)
*Jog 5 min. (RPE: 7)
30 Squats with a Kick (Squat low then kick your right leg forward as
you stand. Squat and repeat with left leg.)
*Fast Walk 3 min (RPE:6)
*Jog 4 min (RPE: 7)
*30 Squats with a Punch (Squat. As you stand up punch quick right then
left. Drop back for another squat.)

If you're going for an hour (which you should try to do) repeat this
through 2x.
Finish up with abs of your choice and a good stretch.

Have fun, ladies!

I tried this workout this morning. I like it a lot! I did a longer
warm-up jog (12 minutes/1 mile) and then did the workout. I did the
walk section on an incline, and I also added a cool-down since I
didn't have time to do the whole circuit again but needed a little
more distance. I could definitely feel that my legs were being worked
in a different way, which was awesome! As I build up my leg strength,
I will definitely do this workout twice through.

Thanks for a great workout idea! :)
