Workout of the Week: January 26, 2010

This is an interval cardio workout that I planned out and have been using for the last week. As with all interval training you will be alternating between effort and rest, to obtain a near maximum work level and calorie burn.

Workout of the Week

-Start with a moderate intensity five minute warm up. (I use the Airdyne bike.)

-Run 1 mile at or near your maximum pace. Then rest for half of your mile time.

-Next run up and down a flight of stairs ten times. Preferably holding weights in your hands. Rest for equal the time it took for the stairs then repeat.

-Finish with ten minutes on cardio of your choice. Maintain 75% max heart rate, determine maxHR by subtracting your age from 220.
