Here we are, halfway through the 12-week challenge and I'm feeling great! As mentioned in previous updates, my fat loss has slowed a little over the past couple weeks to only 1/2% a week, and I'm thinking it may be due to my cardio routine I changed. I shortened it to 15 mins total (which really only gives me 7 mins of running but 8 mins of walking...not so intense when I look at it that way), so thinking this might be the problem. So....I'm tweaking my cardio workouts to see if I can get my fat loss back to where it was Week's 1-4. This is what my cardio consisted of this morning. I got up at 5 am (first time for that...lol), hopped on the treadmill and started going.
First 3 mins at 3 mph..then...
5 mph (1 min)
5.5 mph (1 min)
6 mph (1 min)
6.5 mph (1 min)
3 mph (1 min)...whew
5.5 mph (1 min)
6 mph (1 min)
6.5 mph (1 min)
3 mph (1 min)...another whew
5.5 mph (1 min)
6 mph (1 min)
6.5 mph (1 min)
3 mph (1 min)...ohhh man...
5.5 mph (1 min)
6 mph (1 min)
6.5 mph (1 min)
8 mph (1 min)...woot! woot!!
COOL DOWN 3 mph (2 mins) and DONE!!!! Total time - 22 mins, 1.8 miles.
Hoping this routine gets the fat shredding off again. It was intense for sure. That last 2 mins and especially the last minute at 8 mph was tough but I pushed myself through it. I feel awesome now!
