This is my week off from strength training (at least until Thursday or Friday) so my goal is to slaughter the cardio minutes which is a big switch up for me. I've been toying between 151-153 for the last 5 weeks and I think I need a body shock to get me moving consistently in the right direction again...SOOOO....my goal is at least 4 cardio workouts of 60+ minutes in the fat burning - cardio zone before Saturday. I did my first 90 minutes last night (65 TM, 26 bike) and will be back at it tonight and tomorrow as I watch the biggest loser (I'm excited this is on two night this week as it's a great workout companion), I may rest Thursday and then have cardio again Friday.
I know the theories that too much sustained cardio can hinder your weight loss, so this is only a one week switch up for me, typically I only do one night of sustained cardio a week and 2-3 nights of cardio intervals for only 30-45 minutes.
Saturday I'll be starting a new strength phase and returning to my more reasonable cardio workouts.
MON - 91 min TUE - 80 min WED - 62 min THU - strength (75 min) FRI - SAT - SUN -
