Dying to Live is really all about "living"

I started this blog to help others die to the things that are keeping them from truly living. I talk about everything from taking every thought captive to making healthy choices when eating. I have been on this journey for over 15 years now and finally decided it's time to share it with others. Come join me and learn why we must die in order to truly LIVE!

Cardio Challenge

Do this 3 x's per week

On the treadmill.

0-2 minutes walk 3.5
2-5 minutes jog 5.5
5-6 minutes jog 6.0 incline on 2
6-7 minutes run 7.0 incline on 0
8-9 minutes run 7.2 incline on 0
9-11 minutes walk 3.8 incline at 4
12-14 minutes walk 4.0 incline at 5
14-15 minutes run 8.0 incline on 0
15-17 minutes walk 4.0 incline on 6
17-18 minutes run 7.5 incline on 0
18-19 minutes walk 4.0 incline on 6
19-20 minutes walk 3.8 incline on 3

If you can't hit the numbers on the treadmill...just use this pattern and do your best.  This is a very challenging 20 minute cardio session.  Try to add this 3 times a week with your strength training and you will see some results in a very short time! 

Get ready to sweat!

Thanks, Kerrie! I appreciate the feedback. I am excited to hear about your marathon this weekend. I met a lady yesterday that will be doing the Lincoln marathon, too. She told me that it will end on the field. I will be thinking of you!
