Just starting out: Try Treadmill Week 1

Shoot for doing some form of cardio EVERYDAY! Try implementing a treadmill sprint workout 1-3 times per week. If your lucky enough to live somewhere were it’s cold & snowy take advantage of this workout you can do inside. No nice weather needed 😉 Even if you hate doing them, you know you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment when completed or at least you’ve burned 200-300+ calories, YEAH! Need help staying accountable? Get yourself a Fitbook, write down your workouts & keep track of what you are eating.

Get off your butt & MOVE!
