Friday, March 22: Long Cardio Day

The type of cardio you do today is up to you, but we want you to get your heart-rate up for at least 45 minutes – If you can do 60, even better.

Suggestions: (Jogging, swimming, power-walking, aerobics, bike riding, etc…)
Here are some video recommendations if you’re need a little inspiration:

45 Minute Taebo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La14c-9TAe8

Let us know if you are in, and come back at the end of the day and let us know what you’ve done.

**Tips for the day:
1) Try to drink 8 glasses of water a day.

2) Try to stand more. You burn more calories when you are standing verses sitting. As simple as it sounds, it’s hard to motivate yourself to do it. When you are watching TV or talking on the phone, try to remind yourself to stand up (even if it’s just for a few minutes). Time yourself if you think of it, and come back and brag out it!

3) Motivate each other! I have a few pals who will “raise” me an exercise every few days (i.e. “I see your exercise plan and I raise you 50 jumping jacks!” I think it’s fun and I’d like to encourage you to “raise” us.

4) If you haven’t already worked out a menu plan for next week, get crackin!
