I love mindless cardio. I had one of those today too (just posted it). Glad your hip flexor is doing better!

Thursday - Bike, TM, Pilates

Hi Everyone,

Today was a version of "mindless" cardio again: started with 20 min on the bike - easy warm-up, moderate for approx 10 min, higher intensity for 4, cool down for 1. Then, I hopped on the TM and did a hill climb (approx 15 min) followed by a power walk/run (approx 15 min) for a total of 30 minutes.

After that, it was Perfect in 10 Pilates w/ Annette Fletcher (I feel close to caving on her new rehab routine for low back and hips!) - I did the ab, legs and flexibility sections. My hip flexor is feeling a bit better - yay - whenever it acts up I find that doing the side-series in Pilates helps it, so that was the reason behind my add-on today.

Tomorrow is TurboCharge Cardio & Sculpt and some form of add-on.......

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!Donna

Great job Donna!Do you ever do intervals where you go at a moderate pace for 1 or 2 minutes then go fast for 2 minutes alternating? I have 3 interval plans I got from No Excuses Workout....I do them 3 days a week then the rest of the time I do my own thing...some intervals, and some steady pace. I will be adding in some more walking workouts to challenge my body and hopefully start losing weight again.I'm so frustrated as I've been eating healthy and counting calories! JenFrom: Donna M-P

Hi Jen!

Yes, I'll do intervals like that also. I like doing intervals b/c it makes the time go by faster!
