CARDIO
The key here is intervals – we’re taking it to the track today (or anywhere you can get out and run) to give the lungs a killer burn and give your cardio a run for it’s money! You ready?
Newsflash – summer is coming!
Introducing the next installment in our hugely popular “Beach Body Now” series! The goal of this six-week series is to get you into the shape of your life prior to hitting the beach this summer! Throughout this series I have been introducing two new workouts every week – cardio to shred unwanted pounds and inches – strength to firm, sculpt, tone and tighten. Week three marks the halfway point where we kick things up a level as we prepare for that final push to the end of the series.
That perfect swimsuit is not out of your reach!
Make it happen this summer with “Beach Body Now”!
Presented below are two workouts – Cardio and Strength.
Alternate between workouts; perform each one 2-3 times this week for 4-6 days total.

100 meter walk to warm up
100 meter sprint
100 meter jog
100 meter sprint
100 meter walk
Repeat Running Interval 4 Times
The easiest way to track this one is to head to the closest high school during non-school hours for some track time. Sprint the straight, jog the turn, sprint the straight, and walk the turn – repeated 4 times.
FYI 4 times around a track is a mile! Killer interval if you sprint half of that mile!!
[100 meter equivalents (approximate!)
