Cardio Intervals with a Little Extra Mustard































They are truly ready for almost anything I will throw at them. Today I was in a 'mood' so I upped the ante. The result...phenomenal.

Squats
Step ups
Bike
Burpees

30 seconds of work 90 second recovery for ten rounds. In the 30/90 intervals during the rest period walk around with high steps for the entire rest (this is called active rest).

Then we finished with 30/60 intervals (sixty seconds rest). I gave the girls benchmark reps to hit with the step ups, squats, and burpees...I wanted them Moving!

And they didn't disappoint.

Here's a video of the action:





Nutrition Tip of the Day:

Five foods to place into your menu asap:

Fish- high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids- lots of health benefits tied to fish
Broccoli- high in calcium and other vitamins and minerals, plus a great source of fiber
Spinach- same reasons for broccoli, get them into your plan
Almonds- very high in healthy fats and an antioxidant, Raw Almonds are the best choices
Berries- Huge in antioxidant properties, low in carbs and high in fiber. Loaded with vitamins and minerals
