Workout for 07/13

Running Cardio Intervals again today!!! Yahoo!!! I really love these workouts!! I really feel like I can just push myself as hard as I can during them! Next week starts a whole new set of cardio, so I wanted to finish Week One with a bang! haha!

Today I ran my intervals on a treadmill at work - so I didn't get the benefit and extra calorie burn of being outdoors, but I think I got a killer workout nonetheless. I sprinted as fast as I could while maintaining a constant speed (which is a lot easier said than done since I tend to fluctuate if I'm outdoors) and it felt really good to fully stretch out and sprint today. I also walked on the treadmills a little bit for my breaks during work, and tried to keep moving as much as I could - so I know I got a little extra calorie burn from that.

Here's my workout for today:
