I mentioned earlier that I was going to add in some cardio after my weight training sessions to try and drop the pounds a little faster. Well, it appears to be working. Since I started last week, I’ve lost about 1 to 1.5 pounds more per week!
I really don’t do that much cardio. I’m usually pretty spent after a workout, so I’ve only been doing 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. And I don’t even push it that hard. 20 minutes on the elliptical or treadmill is like an eternity to me, so I try to mix up the speed and resistance settings. That seems to keep me occupied.

Of course, you don’t have to do your cardio in the gym. There are plenty of everyday activities you can do to work in a little extra cardio: take the stairs, mow the lawn, wash your car, play dodgeball, run from ‘the Man’. Use your imagination and you can come up with plenty of ways to add more physical activity into your day.
