General Fitness 8-Week Program
New activity or: WU 5 min. Gauntlet: 15 min. Ellip. Trainer: 15 min. Treadmill:15 min. CD 5 min. & stretch.
CARDIO: CLASS/ACTIVITY OR 55 MINUTES OF MACHINES. Either head for the Tai-Bo/Salsa/Trampoline class that you so adore, or hit the cardio machines. Refer back to Day 5 for pointers, and try to move from machine to machine rapidly, keeping your heart rate in that oh-so-desired fat-burning zone. Spend the first 5 minutes warming up on either the TREADMILL or the STATIONARY BIKE. Stepping off, head for the GAUNTLET. (If your gym doesn't have one of these, you can substitute the STAIRMASTER.) Climb for 15 minutes at a steady pace, taking nice, deep breaths. Stepping off, head for the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER (or a NORDIC TRAC) and glide for another 15 minutes. Finish with a 15-minute walk/jog on the TREADMILL, followed by a 5-minute cooldown. Spend extra time today stretching out your quads, hamstrings, and calves.
