The goal for today is to get that heart rate up and to burn some calories. Every once in a while it is good to take a break from weights and focus on your stamina and cardio. This low impact cardio day will make you feel lean and agile.
I spent the last 15 minutes of this workout, I focused on stretching. Improving your flexibility will result in few injuries and improving your strength. After every workout I post, try and get a good stretch session in afterward.
