Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet, and what kind of results they are getting.
I am on a workout routine right now, and scared to switch over, but I know that MT knows what he is talking about. Maybe an expert on this subject can give me some pointers...
Here is my current routine
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday-Run
Tuesday, Thursday-5-4-3 class (5 minutes of cardio, 4 minutes of abs, 3 minutes strength then starts over-we do a lot of jumping jacks, jump rope and step in this class)
Friday-half and half class (half the class works abs, the other half is strength training)
I have read through the 12 day book twice, and from what Michael says, I am doing a lot of exercises I shouldn't be doing. Also the intensity with which I do my workouts is a lot more than what he asks for in his workouts. I find it hard to keep my heartrate at 125 (MT says this is my THR) during my runs. Even when I walk/jog it seems like my target heart rate is what I am at during my warm up.
I have mapped out my workout plan according to his book, and I thought I may start tomorrow morning and give it the 12 days and see if I get better results than what I am getting from my current workouts.
Any advice, words of wisdom, motivation, feedback from the 12 day miracle would be greatly appreciated. I guess once you are so used to working out a certain way, it is scary to think about changing it and really doing less than what you are doing now. Oh, I also do Windsor Pilates just about every evening. I love them. They make me feel a lot better and I can feel my body getting tighter from doing them. It's only been about two weeks since I started them. I do a 20 minute circle workout on the floor, then I do a 10 minute one that is standing.
Thanks so much to anyone that will reply!
