Cardio 6-5-08

*** Okay, so it was HIIT and not hit, as in punch...but it needed a pic and I just couldn't resist the cute little boxing gloves....so go with me...as the HIIT posts will have this pic until I find something I like better)
So cardio has always been my LEAST favorite thing...But I
have gotten the hang of it....So far so good.

Today I did the HITT method of cardio....I would walk really fast for one short block....then slower...then I after I was more warmed up I decided to get creative (for me, cause this is SO NOT me) and I would jog a short block....fast walk a short block...When I got to the long blocks I would pick a tree about halfway down and make that my destination....WOW I actually jogged and a couple of times I even extended it to a tree a bit further down the road. GO ME!

After 20 mins of that I came home and immediately did a 20 min turbo jam video....then later I rode my bike to get the kitties the diabetic food they needed...Another 20 min ride..one that I HATE cause the ride home is almost entirely uphill UGHHH......Then I did one more small ride.

Turbo Jam-20 mins- 220 calories burned
HITT-Walk/jog- 20 mins-120 calories burned (and this may not be right considering the HITT wasn't included in my choices)
Bike Ride-30 mins.-280 calories burned

I also got in 15 mins of the Turbo Jam Ab workout and did some extra on and off throughout the day.

So that was my cardio day. Not too bad.
