January Indoor Challenge

[Miranda]

Did an hour of brisk walking on the dread-mill today (cross-training). Can you feel my joy just free flowing out of that last sentance? NOT! lol. Unfortunately I can't do any impactive sports, so no running. But grateful pedaling is not that. Anyrate, didn't record it in the log, but will record this (see below) after I teach it in one of my Spinning classes...

Chris Carmichael's Weight-Loss Workout
This one-hour workout delivers the double whammy of torching calories and building high-end aerobic power you can put to good use the rest of the season. It's strenuous, so do it a maximum of three times a week to allow for adequate recovery and best results.
6 minute: warmup
1 min.: fast pedal, spinning a light gear as fast as you can
1 min.: recovery spinning
1 min.: fast pedal
1 min.: recovery spinning
5x2 min. at maximum intensity, with 2 min. recovery spinning between each
6 min.: recovery spinning
5x2 min. at maximum intensity, with
2 min. recovery spinning between each
8 min.: cooldown
Total time: 60 min.

The work-out is an interval based ride that's also a good way to mix things up even if your goal is not weight loss (as the title holds). Simple, yet very effective. That's my favorite. Just thought I would share.

Wow- thanks- good timing- it is 37 and raining so indoors today! This is different than the intervals I have been doing- shorter and more of them (:

You're welcome- glad you like it. I did teach it for my Spinning class today and it went over great!
