My Saturday morning usually starts with a step interval class at the 24/7 Club. Since this is July 4th weekend, all classes were canceled. Like some of you, I was on my own. The rest of you were sleeping in or still celebrating. No judgment!! It is the July 4th weekend. Today I did my workout on the AMT which is similar to an elliptical. I do heart rate training. By using the heart rate monitor on the machine, I was able to determine my intensity on the cardio mixing in my intervals. The following was my workout this morning.
Warm up: level 3-7m
Workout: level 6 10m
1st interval:
lateral lifts: 12X
weighted squats: 8X
front raises: 12X
AMT: 1m increasing the resistance
repeat the interval
ATM: level 6-5m
2nd interval
Bicep curls: 12X
lunges: alternating R/L
Triceps overhead: 8X
AMT: 1m increasing the resistance
repeat the interval
AMT: 5M level 6
3rd interval
single arm overhead press: 8X
walking lunges
upright row: 12X
AMT: 1m added resistance
repeat
AMT: 5M
Cool down
If I had more time I could have completed my workout with additional weight work. I'll do that later.
Some of you use only the Elliptical for cardio workouts and I know you get bored. Change it up a little. Plan ahead and have some weights close. For me, this was a great cardio interval workout.
