Core & Sprint Cardio

I had an hour in the middle of the day today so I got in a quick core & sprint cardio workout.

I started with:

Cable Crunch - 70lbs - 2 sets of 10 - 20 reps
Knee Ins - 2 sets of 10 - 20 reps
Decline Sit Ups - 2 sets of 10 - 20 reps
Bicycle - 2 sets of 10 - 20 reps

Then I put the 40lb Xvest on and walked @ 4mph on the treadmill at a 15% incline. I burned 192 calories and had a maximum heart rate of 192.

I did another ab/core circuit of:

Swiss Ball Crunches - 3 sets of 10 - 30 reps
Roman Chair Lifts - 3 sets of 10 - 30 reps
Bicycle - 3 sets of 10 - 30 reps

And I finished off with another 10 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. I alternated walking for 40 seconds and running for 20 seconds. My walk was at 4 mph and I went up to 10 mph on the run....all at a 15% incline. I did not wear the vest this time and it felt allot lighter. I burned another 174 calories and had a max heart rate of 180.
