Whenever I've let exercise slip to the back burner, when I start back up, I like to add in several sessions of hard cardio to get my heart pumping again. This week, I've been doing 50 minutes at a time in the gym: 20 minutes on the treadmill at level 4 (a brisk walk), then 30 minutes on the stair climber at level 60-70. I make sure to bring my ipod or a magazine to keep me company for that amount of time. I also cover the clock on the machine so I'm not aware of how slowly the time passes and just check periodically. It feels so great when you're done and in the following days as you can feel your body responding, getting lighter and stronger.
Last week, my 3 year-old son got a bigger bike with training wheels, which prompted me to bust out my bike. I haven't ridden in years! But as soon as I got back on, I remembered how much I like it. Now, I want to ride my bike everyday.

Time to Get Movin' Again // Cardio & Bike Riding
Not to mention, it's great exercise and always a good idea to get out of your exercise rut and try something new. I put my gears on a hard setting that makes me work for each pedal and then ride around the neighborhood. I'm a little scared to try the bike trails in our park for fear of getting run over by the more experienced, fast riders. Bike riding can be challenging, but it's mostly fun and a great way to get exercise outside of the gym!
Have a great weekend! Take care of YOU!
