New Cardio Calorie Shred

Hey friends!

I hope everyone’s thursday is going well.  I can’t believe how quickly this week has flown by and i’m really looking forward to the weekend.

Since I’m in the middle of potty training Remmie I have to make my day schedule around him (or he pee’s everywhere) so with that said, I decided to use the little gym at our complex (quicker than driving to the gym) and try out a new workout I found online. I love love love my usual elliptical interval workouts but this particular one caught my eye.

I found this sweat sesh over at Tone It Up and it looked fun.  The girls over on that site also look super fit so I decided why not? It’s a good idea to switch up the routine once and awhile.

The original workout calls for a treadmill, but since my joints hate running, I adjusted the workout to the Elliptical.  I did a manual program and set the resistance at about 8 for the workout.

3 Min Warm up
