Workout A La Carte

December 5, 2011

Good Morning & Afternoon My Beautiful Readers!!!

After being Daily Dubie-Deprived last week, I thought I would waste no time PRODUCING this week!  ...and what better way to kick things off, than with a 

Badace Bun Burner Post ?!?!?!?

A choice I made, considering the following:

  • It's MondayIt's important to start your week off with a serious sweat sesh! Doing so will not only release those happy-making neurotransmitters we love (endorphins), but they will also increase your levels of productivity, as exercise helps sharpen your focus. Exercising on Monday will leave you feeling lean, mean, and ready to take on the challenge of the work week!
  • The Holiday Season is HERE! Which also means more, more, and MORE of EVERYTHING! - Namely, food & drink. In order to indulge, you must exercise, so as not to bulge! Keep that sexy body of yours in check with at least thrice-weekly workouts!

Are you with me on this BBB (Bun-Burning-Business), Dolls?! ...

Now that we've established the importance of a nice, sweaty workout-especially on a Monday-let's cut right to my 

Monday Mashup!

I like to dedicate my Monday workouts to a long, yet moderate-to-challenging, 50-60 minute cardio blast. But that's a long workout for me, so I tend to get bored quite easily. Mashing up my workouts is KEY to keeping me motivated! Easy ways to do this, are to workout a la carte, as in use bits and pieces of your existing workouts, and combine them to form a new, fresh, routine. It's like magic! It requires little-no thought process at all! (which is fabulous for Monday) Seriously...

Here is how this can be done...

Today, I combined two separate workouts and also added in my own, on-the-fly, routine for the remaining 10 minutes.

I did 30 minutes of this workout, taken from @FitSugar

Then did 10 minutes from this workout, taken from @PBFingers

For the last 5 minutes, I went back to the first workout- 3 minutes @ 6.0, 1 minute @ 7.5, then last minute @ 6.0.

I wrapped things up on the elliptical for 10 mas minutos...

Minutes                        Level

0-1                                  8.0

1-2                                  8.0  -Reverse

2-3                                  8.0

3-4                                  8.0  -Reverse

4-5                                  8.0

5-6                                  8.0  -Reverse

6-7                                  8.0

7-8                                  8.0  -Reverse

8-10                                8.0

...And you're done!

I find that when I combine a variety of different workouts into one, the time flies!

So....when in doubt, and in a rut, take bits and pieces of various workouts you already know & make them feel fresh again!

It's as easy as Pie

That's all for today Lovies! ... I need to get crackin' on Module 25 of my Health Coaching Curriculum!
