I've attched a little video snippet that includes a few of the exercises that I'm doing regularly in my program. Right now, my program consists of:
1. An upper body day;
2. A lower body day;
3. A cardio only day.
On the upper and lower body days, we do 6 exercises each day, 3 sets of 20 reps each. At the conclusion of each day, we do 3 different abdonimal exercises in rapid fire succession, pretty much bringing me to exhaustion. In fact, I pretty much reach exhaustion after almost every exercise that I do.
On my cardio-only day, I've been running for up to 30 minutes at a time, varying the speed and incline at which I run to get my heart between 65-85% of its maximum range in order to maximize the cardiovascular benefits.
I'm also doing 30-35 minutes of cardio every day, usually on an elliptical machine., 7 days a week. The gains I have made in my cardiovascualr fitness in the past 3-4 weeks have been fantastic.
I'm looking forward to a new routine next week designed by my great trainers over at Fitness Together. I can't wait to see what they have in store for me!
Best of luck as you enter Week 5. Keep up the good work. Love, Mom
