Welcome to Week 2! This week, you'll be continuing with your program and doing at least 3 cardio workouts along with your strength training routine with an added challenge--one more set for each exercise. You'll have a new stretching workout to try and some recipe ideas for breakfast lunch and dinner. You'll also have some motivational tips to help keep you going. Remember--the workouts are just suggestions. Please modify them to fit your fitness level, schedule and goals.

Day 8
  Focus: Interval Training
Today, you'll choose a different interval workout than last week with an added challenge: try to add 3-5 minutes to your workout to make it longer. You'll also learn more about water and why you should be drinking it all day long (hope this isn't news to you!). Drink up and have fun!
 
Day 9
  Focus: Strength
Ah, we're back to a little strength training. Today, you're doing the total body workout again, as well as an ab workout. Your challenge is to add a set to each exercise. You should be doing at least 2 sets, although you should modify that according to your fitness level. You'll also be learning about healthy snack ideas.
 
Day 10
  Focus: Endurance
Today is your endurance workout--you'll do the workout I've assigned or choose whatever you like. The idea is to do a steady workout at a medium pace to boost endurance. I've also spotlighted breakfast as the meal of the day--if you're not eating it, shame on you! Learn some ways to sneak in a healthy breakfast and get your metabolism going.
 
Day 11
  Focus: Strength
MUSCLE! That's your focus today as you get back to a little strength training. Remember, you're building strong, lean muscle and that means you're getting stronger AND slimmer. You'll also work on your lunch today--as in, making it more healthy.
 
Day 12
  Focus: Rest
You don't have any workouts today, but that doesn't mean you get to slack off. You still need to move around and I've made some suggestions for what you can do (yoga anyone?). I've also given you some ideas for what to make for dinner.
 
Day 13
  Focus: Variety
Today is all about variety. I've given you some cardio workouts to choose from, but feel free to do what you enjoy. Just make it something fun. You also get a treat of your choice today. Whoo hoo! Choose something you love, have a reasonable portion and savor every bite.
