So I am starting a new lifting and interval cardio program that should work out well. I am working on improving my overall strength levels while also maintaining and improving my cardiovascular endurance too.
I see too many people that focus too much on one thing or another - wannabe body builders with ZERO cardio abilities or total cardio bunnies that have no strength at all. I don't want to end up like that - I want a healthy balance of both, so we'll see how this workout series sets up.
The ultimate goal is to drop some body fat and I have some smaller goals I want to accomplish in the meantime, and I think this will be a good combination of everything to accomplish those goals!
Today was Day One - Workout A of my Strength Training Phase One - not a bad little full body workout

2 sets of 15 reps with Bowflex setting "30" in each arm
One Legged Step Up
