Week Three: 2 min. walk/ 2 min. run
Week Four: 1:30 min. walk/ 2:30 min. run
Week Five: 1 min. walk/ 3 min. run
Week Six: :30 sec. walk/ 3:30 min. run
Week Seven: You're a runner!

Monday Moves

One of my favorite parts of being a personal trainer is coming up with new exercises and programs. I get to be creative, and it's always a thrill to come up with something new that works just how you want it to. Every Monday I plan to post a new exercise or workout plan for you to try out. It's a great way to try something new and keep things interesting.
This routine is one that I use when I'm short on time but still want to get a good workout in. The only equipment required is a jump rope, but if you don't have one (or if you're a terrible jump roper like me), you can just jump without the rope.
