Cardio daily goals?
My daily goal is 30 min 240 cals per day 3 times a week. But the only equipment easily accessable to me is a treadmil, I"m not in shape enough yet to run or jog long enough to make a difference. But I do walk on it. The problem is it takes me more than 30 mins to burn 240 cals like around 40 mins. Does it matter that it…

I am a working mom of 2...and it is hard for me to get up early in the morning...I try, I really do...but 5 more minutes of peace before screaming children dressing for school and spilling breakfast all over the freshly cleaned house is heaven to me.
