Cardio Burn - in a new magazine
I almost passed out just reading this workout. I picked up the latest Fitness Rx for Women magazine and this workout is posted. They call it the "Ultimate Cardio-Sculpting Fat-Burning Circuit." At the advanced level you can burn 1000 cals a session (do it 3x a week, along with the Sexy Curves weights workout, etc.)
20 minutes each of treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, and stair-climber at 80% intensity (not HR, just intensity, which they say is 170-180 HR for a woman 20-40.)
I can work at a high intensity on the elliptical and it takes me 40+ min to get 300 cals. Super high intensity and I can burn 500 cals in 60 min. That includes a few minutes here and there with my HR up to 90%, most the rest over 80% (but I'm also not 20 yrs old.)
I'm just in shock after reading this article, and I like cardio. Very few people could work out at this level, should workout at this level, or even need to.
