Whew! Almost another week gone. :-)

Today was a cardio day. 55 minutes elliptical

30 minutes treadmill.

I haven't measured my waist yet, but it feels smaller and flatter from doing all the HIIT sessions. I'll know more tomorrow when I do my weekly weigh-in.

1. You do a ton of cardio-do you find it helps?

Aside from the benefits to my heart, I never found it helped me lose weight. HIIT helped me become more fit. I prefer Pilates and weight lifting. I think weights reshaped my body. :-)

2. Hi Allie

:hi:

No, just the cardio alone doesn't do much in the body shape category. The weights and the HITT have been a vast improvement in that regard.

I do reg cardio in my off weight days to increase my endurance (I have a heart condition, so it helps) and I want to be able to do like 10 mile hikes at some point.
