My friend on another site I post at came up with a Cardio Coach mish mosh workout (for those that don’t what know what Cardio Coach is see my previous blog entitled “Welcome to Cardio Coach Land”) and took challenges from the various volumes and the Pump Circuit and made an approximately 70 mix of cardio and weights.  IT WAS KILLER!!  I couldn’t even complete it…made it 55 minutes and my legs would go no more.  There was lunges, squats, biceps, triceps, push ups (I substituted bench presses cuz I love those), rows, shoulders, abs. (didn’t make it to shoulders and could only muster 10 crunches on the ball). I was so close to finishing…just had abs, a challenge, shoulders and a challenge left. In between weight segments there were sprints and/or hills…had to keep heart rate at 75-85% of your max.  But I loved it…I sat in the recliner with my cushion massager/heat pad on my legs and back for almost an hour and half later that nite…turing the massager off every once in a while but keeping the heat on my back.  I’ve been religiously using my CC worouts for a couple of months now and I can see my cardio fitness improving.  I don’t give up if I can’t finish one of the volumes it just encourages to shoot for a little longer next, tweak your settings to get it done…and when you do finish the whole volume the feelings you feel cannot be described.  I have a renewed confidence in my ability to push myself beyond my comfort zone and it’s with Cardio Coach that I can do this.
