I felt great! Can't believe it was that far. My cardio endurance is horrible! Around set 6, running for 2 minutes was getting tough. I started strong for each run, and ended weak and glancing at my watch. I need to work on cardio for my x-training days.
Any advice for building cardio endurance? I do not have a gym membership or any exercise equipment of my own. I won't be getting a membership until the summer because I just don't have time to go. Any DVD suggestions would be great. Also, Wii games will be welcomed too. Oh yea...and I have a bike.
Plans to run again tomorrow or Thursday....probably Thursday.
You are doing great. Consistency WILL build your endurance...just be patient. I have some Jillian Michaels DVDs that I got off of Amazon for cheap. They are good and get your heart pumping.
ReplyDeleteYou could also do a boot camp circuit. Check out Bobbie's blog at www.bobbiemccormick.com. She has a tab for her bootcamps. Try it, you'll like it :)
I second Lisa on the Jillian DVDs! I did the 30 Day Shred in December and it's killer! I think they're only like $9 at Walmart right now. And you don't need a lot of space for them.
ReplyDeleteAlso bike riding will help too! Or so I hear...I don't own one myself!
run....a lot! all the time...the more you run the easier it will get. run further each time...run.
ReplyDeletehaha, obvious i know, oh yes and always run forward...talk to yourself while running, it helps to control your breathing.
ok good luck!
