We will go through this on a day by day basis. Day One: Begin your week with a strengthening work and intervals. Push yourself to higher levels of achievement and intensity. The beginning of the week is perfect for that.

Try to lift an extra five or ten lbs when you press. You could make yourself do an extra chin-up or two or a variety of other things. Just exceeed your limits and you’ll feel good about yourself because you’ve expanded your possibilities.

Day Two: Choose something fun that you can do for a half hour or so. Make it something outside that is out of your ordinary routine. Go for a walk at lunch, hike a trail, go for a bike ride… anything but cardio. Day Three: Get back to strengthening workouts and intervals at mid week. Increase your interval duration to forty secs from thirty, or to seventy five from sixty. Allow an extra half minute for recuperation.
