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!

H.I.T. High intensity training

I have had a few asking me about my thoughts on cardio and weight loss. I believe that you need cardio and resistance training for the best results. Unless you are an endurance athlete and  are trying to increase endurance/mileage then I believe HIT cardio is one of the quickest, most effective ways to lose extra weight. You can pick any piece of cardio equipment: Bike, eliptical, stairs, running, walking or jumping rope. A sample session would look like this:
30 seconds on (which means as hard as you can go for 30 seconds). For some people that would be a fast walk and others it would be a sprint. You need to really push yourself for 30 seconds and then take 30 seconds off....Again, off might mean a slow walk for some or a light jog for others.
30 seconds on
30 seconds off
For 20 minutes 3 times a week for a start.

Remember, "if you keep doing, what you've been doing, you're going to keep getting what you've been getting."
