“Cardio Program – 4 weeks 5lbs”
February 8, 2010
Here is a challenging cardio program that you can do for the next month and drop 5 lbs.
Remember there are three pieces to the fitness pie – cardio, weight training, and nutrition. This program will only work if you are weight training 2-3 days a week as well as eating 4-5 meals per day that are full or lean protein, fresh fruits and veggies, and a few complex carbohydrates. All three components play an important role in weight reduction. This is a safe way to lose the weight and keep it off for good.
