Monday - Cardio Day
Monday is my favorite day to do Cardio - Why! Because it is time to burn off your weekend.
Your Goal is 120 to 160 minutes of Cardio a week.
Monday is also my Low Carb Day - I normally don't eat much after that long weekend. Go for higher protein, more fat, less carbs. (Can you do 50g of carbs today?)
Monday is my Spin Class day - 45 minutes
Tuesday
Weight Training Day - It is super important to be flexible and stable before you begin a training program. You want to make sure your left and right side are even and balanced before you start making your stronger side stronger and your weaker side weaker.
Be Smart!

2. Stabilization Exercises - (Do the two back to back)

Wednesday - Hot YogA
Wednesday - Is My Hot Yoga Day - I am usually stressed out from my week and it help reset my mind body and soul. Also, you will be sore from yesterdays workout, so it is nice to rest the muscles, but still feel like you are doing something!
Thursday - Cardio
Thursday - I get back to Cardio. I try to hit the pool for thirty minutes. If you are a runner, this would be a great day to run or another spin class. At Least 30 minutes. If you make your run HIT interval with ups and downs, you don't have to go as long as a steady pace cardio. Do sprints in the pool or during your run.
