    Default One-Minute-a-Day Cardio Increase...for 2 months

    Something I decided to start yesterday. It's not a mile everyday, but it will rapidly get there and beyond, but it is short-term just to get my cardio back in the saddle.

    Yesterday: I warmup 5 minutes walking, jog 5 minutes at 10km/h, and then walk 5 minutes to cool down.
    Tonight: I warmup with 5 minutes walking, jog 6 minutes at 10km/h, and then walk 5 minutes to cool down.
    Tomorrow: same warmup and cooldown, but 7 minutes at 10km/h.

    I used to run cross-country in high school, but that's 20 years ago. Still, if I can stick to this for 2 months, it will jack my cardio right back up to the level it was a few years ago, and that's just the beginning!

    Daily updates to see if I can stick with it or be broken down.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

    Wednesday, Feb. 27th, I got my five-minute warmup, six-minute jog, and five-minute cooldown. I did a new workout today, so my legs will be in agony tomorrow.

    Agony indeed!

    It feels like everytime I move them, someone runs a blowtorch up the front of my legs. I'm gonna have a fun time with the jogging tonight.

    Yep, I got my 7 minutes jog on yesterday along with the warmup and cooldown. This keeps up, I'm gonna be a stringbean in the summer. I'll be doing one-arm chinups with a weightvest on. :)

    Sweet, keep it up, dude. I just got back from the gym. Not only did I do my regular workout, but I also nailed my cardio because I took a longer-than-usual lunch hour.

    So that is my 5 min warmup, 8 min jog, and 5 min cooldown done and out of the way. Eventually I'm gonna scale that back and do a mile or two a day.

    Well today is 9 minutes. I am determined to nail this two-month program. I'll do the run in an hour or so after I get some housework done. Mr. Mom has to wait for his cardio.

    Thumbs down OOOWWWWWWWWWWW....

    I was doing handstand chinups, and when I came down, I smashed it on a basement stair this morning. It didn't hurt at first, but now my foot is throbbing from my lunchtime squat workout. Looks like I won't be getting my jog for the next few days.

    I will get back on the program as soon as I can, but this sucks.

    No joke, it hurts pretty bad. I just tried walking with my bare foot and it feels like there's a knife in my foot. I hope I didn't crack a bone.

    I did a very similar thing to improve my stamina, it works good. I didn't want to run very far, just do 2 miles or so at a good pace. Now I prefer running the same distance and trying to beat my time each day. Intensity > duration.

    Well, I play floor hockey every Friday at work, and I'm basically on the floor for an hour running...dying actually.

    So I'm building up my stamina so that I can keep going for the whole time. :clap:
