Vicki's 8-week challenge, week 3 plan!



The only thing I'm following on Vicki's challenge is the 40 minutes of cardio every day.  I really wanted to try a leg routine by Ava Cowan.  But remember - slow steady cardio - not beneficial and BORING!

THE PLAN
Weights MWF
Cardio - 40 minutes every day! 

Monday - Legs  Ava Cowan routine

leg press 30, 10-10-10 feet different spots

5 minutes cardio

Oxygen Magazine: Thirty-second bouts of all-out sprinting, 
followed by four minutes of rest, yields more fat loss 
than moderate-intensity distance running.
