We now begin our journey into Week 7. As always, you have new challenges this week--less cardio, but more strength training. Or maybe you love weight training and you can't WAIT for some new workouts. Hey, you never know, right? Don't forget that these workouts are only suggestions. Feel free to do your own workouts, use videos, etc. If the workouts are too easy, modify them by adding weight, reps, sets or exercises. This is your program so make it work for you!

Day 43
  Focus: Total Body Strength
What? No cardio today? That's right...today you're starting out with that total body workout you've been doing for awhile. Your cardio assignment is simply active rest and your nutritional focus is learning more about the benefits of a high fiber diet. Don't roll your eyes--fiber is important! I've also provided a little motivation for you, so don't despair.
 
Day 44
  Focus: Interval Training
Oh...there's the cardio workout. As you've noticed, your cardio has moved around a little in your new schedule--feel free to do it whenever you want. Just make sure you're getting enough rest and that you're getting a rest day between strength workouts. Your nutritional focus is learning more about why diets don't work and your motivation today is all about finding time to exercise.
 
Day 45
  Focus: Upper Body Workout
Well, here it is...your new strength training workout. This routine focuses on your upper body and includes exercises for chest, back, shoulders and arms. I've also included a core workout using an exercise ball--these exercises are challenging so take your time and work your way up to some of the more difficult exercises.
 
Day 46
  Focus: Cardio
Today you'll be doing your endurance workout and I've also given you a great recipe for pot roast. Feel free to come to my house and make it for me! For motivation, I've given you some resources to learn how to manage your time better so you can...surprise!...find more time to exercise. I know, I know...I need to get a life.
 
Day 47
  Focus: Lower Body
Today is your second new strength training workout targeting the lower body. As always, please modify to fit your fitness level. If you have any knee problems, take care with the lunges and squats and only go down as far as you can without hurting yourself. I've also given you some ideas for a healthy breakfast. Your motivation is a list of workouts you can try if you're strapped for time.
 
Day 48
  Focus: Variety
Today you get some new workouts to choose from. One is a BOSU workout--if you don't have one of these, then you probably don't want to choose that workout. If you DO have one...don't you love it? Your nutrition focus is chocolate peanut butter fudge...really! Your motivation is to reward yourself. Hey, this ain't so bad, is it?
