Beware of Cardio Slackers

October 29, 2008

Hey,

Here's a simple observation I made while performing my morining cardio session on Tuesday.

I was climbing away on the stair climber with my ipod blasting, while watching hockey highlights on sports centre.
I got about half way through the work-out and my hands were starting to slip and slide on the handles and the console of the machine was pretty well soaked as was my t-shirt.

Now I know you're thinking, "this is disgusting, why is he telling me this?"

When I was finished and was wiping down the machine with sanitizer, it struck me that I don't see too many people finishing off their cardio with a soaking wet t-shirt. Of course there are a few names that came to mind that do sweat it up,and it's no suprise that those are the men and women that get the most out of their work-outs.

Are you a cardio slacker?

Are you going through the motions and wasting time?

Try this protocol:
(use any cardio machine of your choice)
-1 minute warm-up
-15 minutes total duration
-On the last 15 seconds of each minute, go as hard as you can. Whether it be maximum speed, resistance or both
-2 minute cool down

Maybe it's time you started work a little harder on the treadmill and soak that t-shirt.

Just make sure you clean up after yourself.


****************************************************************

As always, I get excited when we get a fresh batch of pro-one bars come in. They are so soft and delicious it's often tough not to put back 2 or 3 of them. And with 33grams of protein and only 9 grams of carbs why the hell not?

Of course I'm not able to enjoy them this time around with my strict dieting

So I thought I'd let you know that we have them in and they will go fast. ($24.99 while supplies last)

Get yours now at either location, or order them at our online store.

I look forward to seeing you leaving the gym all sweaty and eating a fresh Pro-One Bar.


Stay Strong
