Day 30.....first cardio of week 5!

I finally got around to doing my cardio this evening. It was a lot later than I had planned. Just got too involved in some online research (this whole darn Internet thing is just so damn addicting!), in fact, I started my cardio about the time I had planned on going to bed tonight....ooops, guess I'm not going to get my 6-7 hours of sleep....again!

13 Feb 07: Day 30
I said in an earlier blog I had planned on doing 2 days of HIIT cardio @30mins and 2 days of low intensity @45min. After re-evaluating my program, I've decided to change it (yes again!). I will now be doing 4 days of low intensity @45min per week.

Wanting to burn fat without loosing muscle mass I have decided that the 2 HIIT days will be more harmful (burn muscle) then helpful towards my goal.

My earlier plan was based on doing only 3 days of cardio (2 days of HIIT & 1 day of low intensity). Now, that I am comfortable with the idea of 4 days of cardio (meaning I won't miss a workout), I believe this is the best path to reach my goal.

So, to sum it up;
I'll be going with slow fat burning cardio, while working to add muscle mass with a heavy resistance routine. Either way, I'm always working to "Get it Done" and I hope you are too!
