I try classes. I love the interval training as it makes the time go by quicker. I need to get a stop watch though. I would love to work with a “sprint coach” this spring to really do the sprinting correctly. I also love boot camp and would like to use this winter to get strong enough to go to any boot camp class and do well. Right now I also need to remove 15 lbs. I am using Jodi’s info but my body for some reason seems stuck at 168. Bizarre. I also would love to be able to do 5 perfect pullups, have never been able to do one unassisted! Love this site and blogs!! Great job ladies! Thank you.
I know the cardio rut feeling well because I’m in one right now! I used to love spinning classes but I kind of got burnt out….maybe because it was the same thing over and over again, or one too many bad instructors. I’m really picky, I’ll be honest!
I have been rocking spinning bike intervals 30 sprint/30 recovery and some KB intervals, too (30 second swings/30 second recovery)…
Switching things up a little does have a positive impact on the ole mind AND body!
I finally whipped out my new Gymboss last night and can’t wait to use it on my Spin Bike intervals. Toys/gadgets like this usually break me out of a rut. I am still eyein’ a weighted vest for my hikes/hill walks.
Jodi, you are right, I am rockin’ some Tabata-esque training as well. I haven’t worked int REAL Tabata, but I have been using the principal. I LOVE it.
Michelle, get a weight vest, they are great for EVERYTHING!!!! They are just so darn expensive!
I’ve been trying to get on here all day to read this, LOL! Lately (3 weeks) I’ve been doing “Jodi’s latest experiment” training on me: a hybrid of heavy and intermediate loads with metabolic hits at the end. Likewise, the cardio starts with a metabolic hit, then ends more chill. What’s got me even more jazzed, though? My Gym Boss! I’m with you Michelle. I love that sucker so much, I keep finding ways to torture clients and classes with it too! If only it didn’t scare the heck out of my dogs, though…

Joanna, I do love spinner bike intervals. I haven’t checked out the KB intervals yet. That is on my list!
Lynn, go get a stop watch! IT makes such a difference!!!!!!!
Lynn: You have to change it up, girl. Even the diet. A year plus later it does not have the same effect.
Kas: Aren’t you also rockin’ a Tabata type training, too, or no?
Joanna: You won’t be in that cardio rut too much longer! Woop woop!:o)
