CARDIO IS A MUST!

I hate running just as much as the next person, but we all should be doing it for our health. I almost cry every time I look at a treadmill. Just the thought of me running in place for 30-60 minute drives me nuts. I'd rather have paper cuts all over my hands. Ouch! OK, maybe not.
What I do to build endurance is a combo of two things;
(For a :30 minute time frame) alternate between - 10min run, 5min walk and a 5 min warm down about half the speed of the walk.
(for a :60 minute time frame ) The same as above but, 10 min warm down at the end.
DON'T FORGET to stretch before and after.
IF U want an idea of a running program/schedule, look a few blogs down and click on the training button to download a word doc with all the goodies.
This week I'll get a "body Index" test at AMFAM by Gina (who reminds me of Carmen Electra). OK now I'm nervous.
