We are weeks away from swim suit season…are you ready? I know I am not quiet there yet, or at least not in my mind therefore I have switched up my cardio to give me an extra fat burning boost! My husband suggested we start doing treadmill cardio Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, allowing weight training for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Last week was our first week to begin our new routine. I was completely shocked at how hard it was to walk on the treadmill with the incline at 15 degrees, so since I was just starting out, I took it down to 10 degrees. I hope to challenge myself more each week. I will be sure to post each work out I create in my head as I go with you all who are following along.
I can say that at the end of last week I did lose 2 lbs. I however was keeping an eye on my clean diet and drinking lots of water.
This cardio session is intense, you will sweat a lot! Make sure you are hydrating through out the day, and you might want to bring a change of dry clothes to change into afterwards! 😉
I don’t sweat I sparkle!!
What’s your favorite way to get your sweat on?

I cannot do the 10 incline without holding onto the handrail. I can only do 5 or 6 incline without holding on when walking. Do you walk and not hold on with the 10? This is actually a great cardio workout and is what I do, I mix incline walking with jogging and sprints after my weight workouts. Then some days I only do about 30 to 45 min just cardio. I’m right along with you about thinking bikini seasons just around the corner…..👙☀️

I do not hang on, unless I feel the urge to grab the top of the layout screen for maybe a few seconds. It kicks my booty.. But I feel like I am actually accomplishing something when I am finished! It makes me tired out that’s for sure!!!

That sounds so similar to the treadmill workout I used to do pre-baby, when I lived in an apartment with a gym. It must have worked because I was tiny then!

Haha… Awesome! Cardio helps, but I have learned if you eat garbage you are doing yourself no good! Now if I could only get this Easter candy out is my HOUSE! 🙂
