The Power Hour

October 5, 2009 by DanicasDaily Leave a Comment

So I am only about 6 weeks late in thinking of this idea.  I thought it would be a good idea to create a category for my Body For Life workouts as a great way to jump to they workout of the day.  I will continue posting my workouts to this category even after I complete the challenge.  Plus it’s a fun organizing technique!

Not that I am by any means a workout guru or expert, but, I thought it might also be a fun way to share my workouts and maybe give you all some ideas. I’d LOVE if you added your ideas, suggestions and comments on your workouts too because I know I can use all the workout ideas I can get.

That being said, here is how today went down.  Since I took the weekend off, I decided to do a double workout to make up for it today ~ My HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and my Lower Body Workout (LBWO).

minute 3: 4.0 mph
minute 4: 5.0 mph
minute 5: 5.5 mph

minute 8: 5.0 mph
minute 9: 5.5 mph
minute 10: 6.0 mph
minute 11: 4.0 mph
minute 12: 5.0 mph
minute 13: 5.5 mph
minute 14: 6.0 mph
minute 15: 4.0 mph
minute 16: 5.0 mph
minute 17: 5.5 mph
minute 18: 6.0 mph
minute 19: 7.0 mph for 30 sec & 8.0 mph for 30 sec(level 10 ~ all the way!!!)
minute 20-21: 3.0 mph (cool down)
