Hi Everyone!
Today’s workout is a throw back from my 30 Day Workout Challenge. This workout will get your entire body working on high, with major fat burning.
Prior to filming this workout I hopped on the treadmill for a 30 minute run. I got in 4 miles and felt great the entire time. I definitely felt the fatigue from my run when I was going through this routine!
I am often asked about the benefits of doing cardio pre- or post-workout. Both methods are beneficial, so I like to switch it up. Most often I recommend doing cardio after your workout to ensure that you are able to maintain good form throughout the workout without fatigue. For this workout I think I would have been able to push harder through it if I did the cardio afterwards or split it into two miles pre, and two miles post. However, running or doing a thorough warm-up is also beneficial because your body is already running and ready to optimize your calorie burn.
I got in a 3-Mile run and 1-Mile walk yesterday. I was also planning on filming, but my body was feeling very fatigued so I decided to take it easy.
I hope you all have a great day & enjoy today’s workout! See you tomorrow with a new one!
