Machine's Healthy Living Tip of the Week



To get a great workout in 45 minutes, do interval training. Pick six different pieces of cardio equipment (rower, elliptical, jump rope, etc...) and do each as hard as you can for 4 minutes making sure you sustain an elevated heart rate. Between each cardio segment, incorporate strength training by using free weights, machines and your own body weight. After you have completed all of the cardio segments, end the workout by hopping on the treadmill and running a mile as hard as you can. This workout will burn a good number of calories, challenge your cardiovascular system and fatigue your muscles. You will have a solid work out done in under an hour, leaving little room for the excuse, "I just don't have the time to exercise..."
