WEEKLY WORKOUT: Workout #4 For Team 13

If you’ve been mixing things up with workouts #1, #2 and #3 you are going to love (and probably at times, hate) workout #4.

All of these moves will be familiar to you, which means you can really give 110%.  As Irene would say, “Yay”!

The big difference here is that you’re only spending five minutes at a time on the eliptical (or the treadmill or doing whatever cardio you choose).  If you need ideas for cardio to do at home without any equipment, drop me a line at Erin.Kiernan@whotv.com and I’ll give you some suggestions.  Try doing the 20-40 format … go as hard and as fast as you possibly can for 20 seconds, then go at a normal pace for 40 seconds.  Do five cycles – then move on to a resistance round.
