The goal for this week states: "Pump up the cardio. Instead of the usual 3 days per week of aerobic exercise, it's time to add one more workout into your week for a total of four 15-minute cardio sessions. Remember, cardio is good for your heart, waistline, and blood sugar."

It is great that you are doing more but be sure to listen to your body. You may also find this article helpful in your planning as well.

How much cardio are we supposed to be doing? Last week I know we were to add 15 minutes to our cardio workout, so I went from thirty minutes to forty-five minutes and was able to do 2 of the 3 workouts. Also, low blood sugars have been preventing me from working out as much as I would like. I would love to work out five or six times a week, but all too often low blood sugars get in the way. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you! :)
