Cardio for week 1 and week 2
This is what I do ( recommended by a personal trainer) - I like the treadmill because it is the only time I watch my recorded TV shows - 45 min flies by. Because I am not really thinking about exercise :-) But I will be adding other alternatives like the Wii, biking, jumping rope and more. Make sure you stretch after. Ab work out to follow.
