Hey Everyone 

I am taking the day off from work, but working at home.  I need to clean house and get all the garden stuff done before Sunday.  My son and his girlfriend are going to cook dinner for me on Mother's Day.    How sweet and I can't wait  

Let's finish the week with some info on cardioCardio is great for you're all over health but with breathing heavy you take in more oxygen and that benefits your heart, lungs and your mental health as well    Some great cardio workouts may consist of jogging, skating, biking, skiing, walking, swimming, wall climbing.  Our number one cardio workout for us girls?  Shopping 

Where I get confused is how much, for how long.  They say you should do cardio at least 20 mins at 80% of  your Maximum heart rate    This stuff makes my head hurt....  Here is a great chart I use.

To figure out your maximum target heart rate, subtract your age from 220. 

Cardio is the best for lowing your body fat.  Cardio should go hand in hand with your weight training workouts.  For losing weight try and do 5 or 6 sessions a week.  If you are just starting out, do it for 2 days a week and then work up to 5 or 6 days a week.  Push yourself, you can do it.  Celebrate the fact as the weight comes off you can do something some of us only dreamed of doing?  Moving

So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today?  Come on and let's finish the week hard and celebrate the coming weekend by being accountable for  your exercise.

Take care,
Kathy
