What are the Body For Life cardio sessions like?

[solidj55]

I am not sure I completely understand how the cardio is supposed to be on this program. I know the workout routine(lifting) and the diet, but I dont fully understand how to do the cardio part. I am thinking of giving it a try(the cardio) along with my own lifting routine and a 1/3 diet.

I think it involves 30 mintues of sex 4 times a week.

Any other cardio isn't worth doing

20 min. intense cardio everyother day.

[solidj55]

I thought you varied intensity throught the 20 min.

i thought i read the other day in that book it was 20 mins of hit cardio eod.

abstrack's right its hit type of cardio
in the book they have levels of intensity for cardio
starting through 1-10
1 being walking 10 being full out running
your upping and downing the intensity through the whole thing
havent read that book in a while but i remember they have a chart
in the book use that as your reference
i tried the body for life cardio program and i thought 20mintues was nothing at first but you really get your ass kicked if you do this right

IT WORKS ! EOD ! I go 5x a week though. And I have lost no muscle just fat.

here...

minute 1...level 5
minute 2...level 6
minute 3...level 7
minute 4...level 8
minute 5...level 9

repeat minutes 2-5 three more times, on the fourth set add a minute 6 at a level 10 then 2 minutes cool down

Thanks for the help guys and girls. I tried it today but kinda forgot how the rotation went. I ended up doing more more sets. I ended up with 23 min altogether but I did it wrong. Instead of starting each set over with level 5 I started with level six. I started with level 5 for the first 2 min, then I did four sets going from level 6 to level 9 and then back down to level 6 then back to 9, etc. So I totaled 4 sets of this, then I finished off with 2 min of level 5. You think that will mess me up too much when I go back to do it the right way next time???

that's actualy fine...lol it's interval and you got in 4 sets..with 4 trips to 9 and one minute at 10..you're set...

[solidj55]

Thanks darlin, next time I will be sure to do it the way its supposed to be just to see if its harder.

[kc]

doesn't get any harder than a 10 man...lol it's that one minute everyday when you'll beg for forgiveness
