Cardio

You have two choices here, you can go longer or go faster. I choose to go faster because I don’t have the time to do a 45-60 minute cardio session. With most of these programs you may be a level 4 weight trainer but need to start slow on cardio. The goal is two work your way up to a minimum of 30 minutes. If you choose to do 30 minutes then your goal should be adding more miles to your workout.

Simplified Fitness

Fitness in general should be simple and consistent but still a challenge. The hard part is keeping it challenging because the more consistent you are the stronger you become and the more endurance you get. I just add more weight and go faster on my cardio. Like on the stair climber my goal is to get 4 miles in 30 minutes. It is definitely a challenge for me to do that. My weight routine is always about how much can I lift for how many times. I lift “heavy” but I usually try to see if I can do about 6-10 reps. I rarely do the max out sets because the more you do those the longer it takes for me to recover afterwards. Now for the women I don’t want you to be afraid to increase the weight in your work outs. You don’t eat enough to gain weight. If that still bothers you mentally add 5 reps to what you are doing. You should always go in the gym and try to think I am better than I was the day before. That is what has kept me going all these years and has helped me keep going.
