Cardio Day- Get up and move that body

Here is another day to a new week. I love Sundays- as that is my body's day of rest from the previous week of workouts and muscle's being used to their maximum. Love and hate it!

This morning began with my usual 5 minute warm-up and then stretches to get me going. I then did 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. Today I walked at a 12 incline and switched to a 3 incline. I did that for the 30 minutes. I usually walked at the 3 incline for 1-2 minutes. I was really dripping with sweat towards the end. It felt wonderful! I then ended with 1 minute of v-sit crunches and then 50 bicycle crunches. My abs were burning at the end. I could hardly do a crunch. I then ended with the superman and stretches.

I feel great! I have decided to go vegetarian for a month. I found a book called "Food is a Wonder Medicine" The power to heal is on your plate. It is based on the New Four Food Groups which are: Grains, Vegetables, Fruits and Legumes. This is all the foods that I have in my food storage, so why not use them. I will have to buy fresh fruits and veggies, but I have all the grains and legumes. I will convert to soy milk and tofu instead of cheese, milk, butter and eggs. I am looking forward to this new change.

"Be all you can Be" and "Become what you used to Be"
