Heavy Bag and Upper Table Rock

First thing this morning I got my blood flowing with a 30 minute heavy bag workout and in the afternoon between sessions I fit in a fun Upper Table Rock hike. The trail was a mucky, muddy, slippery, slushy, sloppy mess.....in other words, it was AWESOME!!
The trail conditions didn't allow for much running, but the effort it took just to keep my feet under me made it a great workout.

Low Intensity Cardio
Don't buy in to the myth that by doing low intensity cardio you’ll burn more fat than doing high intensity cardio---sounds like an excuse to be lazy to me. Whereas it is true that the percentage of calories coming from fat is higher, total calories burned will be lower….and for fat loss, isn’t it all about burning more calories?
