Exercise Regime

06/05/2010

This is from my friend Lyndse. She does this and it apparently is working for her. I have begun doing an exercise regimen that is different than this...very recently. I haven't done anything for several days though and need to fix that ASAP. I hope this helps anyone here. I might try to incorporate it into my thus-far unorganized one. Haha.--Your neighborhood sore lady, Robyn

**P.S.--She doesn't use a treadmill or anything. She runs in place mostly. She is going totally old school. I have all kinds of exercise videos I can use for supplementary things for me.

It claims that you will lose 20 inches and 3 dress sizes in 8 weeks...we'll see!

Running/walking days: You always start and end each session with 4 minutes walking!

T, Th, and Sat: 30 minutes of any other workout. I do dance aerobics.

Week 1:
Monday: Run 1 minute Walk 3 minutes 13 times
Wednesday: same
Friday: same

Week 2:
M: Run 3 minutes Walk 2 minutes 8 times
W: Run 3 minutes Walk 1 minute 8 times
F: same as Wed

Week 3:
M: Run 5 minutes Walk 3 minutes 6 times
W: Run 5 minutes Walk 2 minutes 6 times
F: Run 5 minutes Walk 1 minute 6 times

Week 4:
M: Run 8 minutes Walk 3 minutes 3 times
W: Run 8 minutes Walk 2 minutes 3 times
F: Run 8 minutes Walk 1 minute 3 times

Week 5:
M: Run 10 minutes Walk 3 minutes 3 times
W: Run 10 minutes Walk 2 minutes 3 times
F: Run 10 minutes Walk 1 minute 3 times

Week 6:
M: Run 15 minutes Walk 2 minutes twice
