Metabolic begins this Wednesday, August 1st at Big Park School, 5:15 p.m. This is a great week to make sure you attend because there is just one training and it will be basic metabolic exercises. That means that if you are feeling a little apprehensive, don't worry, it is just 30 minutes! We have all had a metabolic break so it will be completely normal to have to push a little harder to get used to the exercises, but the foundation you built prior to the break is still there and it will help you get acclimated to the training more quickly. On your off days from metabolic make it a practice to be getting some good brisk walks in. Cardio guidelines say 30 minutes a day and that can be broken up into three 10 minute segments or you can do it all at once. The key is to get your heart rate up so no meandering. Have a route in mind and set a time goal. A brisk walk on an exertion level 1 -10 should be around an 8 or more. That means a little heavy breathing and not much talking! Also, don't forget the water! Humid weather means more sweating and lost fluids so replenish as needed. Sherry and I had the pleasure of a hot and humid run early today, the clouds were hanging unusually low and it created a very scenic run. Post-run was your metabolic workout for this week..we survived, with a smile of accomplishment at the end. And so will you. :-)
Low hanging clouds over the red rocks created a scenic run that we don't get too often.
Tried hitching a ride but no one seems to be up at this hour!
