Take Your Beginner Cardio Workout to the Next Level
Sunday, May 31, 2009 14:30In response to my last post on the beginner’s endurance cardio workout I’m going to show you today how to take your workout to the next level!
You can do this in 1 of 2 ways.
The 1st way is by increasing the total time you complete your 2 minute jogging and 4 minute walking intervals. For example, instead of doing 30 minutes you may end up going out for a 40 minute workout.
The 2nd way is to increase your jogging times while decreasing your rest times. For instance, you could move to a 3 minute jog and 3 minute walk. Eventually, you may be running for 5 minutes straight with only 1 minute of walking to recover. Of course for your endurance based goals you can ultimately transition from a jog/walk program to a 100% jogging/running workout. All that means is that you no longer need to take a break to walk while jogging.
And if you follow the instructions above you can easily achieve that by just steadily decreasing your walk periods and increasing your jogging times over the course of a month or two.
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
