Running Program {one}

Hello Monday!!! I had a great weekend packed full of Pilates training (3 days straight for 5 hours!)  I could not wait for Monday to come along.  Yes I just said that.  I was craving cardio!  There are the days when I dread running, then there are days that I can’t wait to hit the road or treadmill {depending on weather}.

Logging hours a week on the treadmill or elliptical is not always the best way to acquire that longer lean body.  And sometimes we simply do not have 45 minutes to spend at the gym so I decided to share this fat blasting cardio workout.  Inspirations for these workouts are from Orange Theory Newport beach.  One of the best 60 minute workout classes.  Find a studio Here.

Many times people, women especially, have not found the workout for their body type and continue to do the same routine over and over again not attaining the results they would like.  That sounds a lot like the definition of insanity, which, is how we start to feel when no results are seen.  Follow this cardio plan 3-4 times a week (or more). I promise you will not get bored and you will feel more energized, but be ready to sweat!

* Check back every week or so for a new routine. 

*Work out is done on the treadmill but can be done on the elliptical.

*A heart rate monitor is recommended find them here Here Polar is known to be the best.  It comes in Pink!!
