Cardio and GTG Reminder - Do your homework!

Just so we are all on the same page - you do have homework from our program. Our cardio (running/walking) aerobic goal is 1.5 miles. We should be following our protocol at least 2 times each week. If you have not been filling out your cardio log please do so, and bring it to class with you this week. I want to see it.

Also - GTG (grease the groove) we have been working on proper push ups using the GTG training concept - several times a day, perfect form, never to failure. What does that mean? Practice your pushups with any accomodations necessary that will allow perfect form - body straight, hands under your shoulders, stay tight, static stomp with your hands at the bottom of the movement. Incline, bent knees, or toes and hands all work - make sure you stay tight! And remember, we don't really exhale, we leak air as we compress our body - so stay tight, and push from your armpits (what the heck are you talking about???) Try it - it works.
