I'm trying to change things up with my lunchtime exercise routine as I think my body is used to what I've been doing. To increase intensity I'm focusing on inclines or going "up" in the parking garage. My workout consisted of starting at the bottom, jogging up the incline ramps leading to the next level, and walking short periods if needed on the flat portions until the next incline ramp. When I got to the top I ran back down the steps to the bottom and started over again. Results of doing this for 61 minutes: 4.3 miles, 34 flights of stairs climbed, 5 minutes in peak heart rate, 25 minutes in cardio, 30 minutes in fat burn, 640 calories expended. I should be able to continue at least a couple more weeks until school starts, after it might be hit or miss depending on workload and problems.

That is a great idea! Our bodies can get used to what we do and it's good to change it up every now and then. I too walk during my lunch break - walked 3.29 miles during lunch around the large campus I work at (I walked the parameter and it's huge!). I feel so much more refreshed for the remainder of the afternoon! Keep us posted on how you're doing! Don't let school affect your goals though, there's lots of ways to sneak in exercise. :)

What a smart (not to mention impressive) way to use your 'available' resources!! (BTW -- checked on the Extreme Weight Loss site and it was the same woman I saw making the rounds on social media a few weeks back . . . thanks! I had only 'watched' vs. 'listened' to the video and had NO idea she had not started weightlifting until much later in life because she looked as though she'd been doing it since she could walk and talk!)

Sounds like a good way to mix it up. Keep up the good work.

Wow Jim that is a creative routine - I love it!

Jim. I'm eying... 5 AM for my workouts??? The problem is this new program is so taxing I'm tired, but all wound up at the same time. Doing it 2 hours before bed just has me too geared up to feel like sleeping.

Bruce -5AM is early for sure, maybe once you get used to it not bad, especially if you're wound up. I can't wait too long in the evening to work out, got to do it by 8 or I'm pooped out. I'm going to check out the system you're doing for lifting.

Great job! I think I'd have to hit the showers after that one.

Thanks friends. Feeling pretty sore in my upper thighs this morning so the change up is definitely a good thing.
