Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Day 28 of the 30 Day Workout Challenge! I really enjoyed this workout. It’s a nice combination of strength, stretch, and cardiovascular challenge. It’s a great full body workout, and it is also a good cross training workout for runners.
I have posted two alternate cardio options below for those of you that don’t run. You can pick the one that appeals to you the most, or alternate each round with a different cardio challenge.
I repeated this workout 3X and added some weights for rounds 2 & 3. I also picked up the speed for the last 5 minute interval to a 7.2 min/mile pace (8.2 mph on the treadmill) to increase the challenge.
I hope you enjoy the workout!

Exactly what I needed today! Did a 2 mile warmup, then this circuit, then .75 miles at 7:30 pace (but no incline like you), then another round of the circuit, then another .75 at 7:30 pace, .5 mile recovery at 8:00 pace, then 1 mile in 7:18.
So 5 miles total. And the on and off the treadmill pattern kept the 18 month old much more distracted and happy than he has been lately. Thanks!
Excellent. Only did just one round of everything. Did 6 min jump rope which was wicket hard but great addition for my rowing training!
