Monday Cardio

I'm needing to sweat a little bit. The weekend provided me with a good alternative workout in the way of framing some interior partitions as a part of my basement remodel, but it didn't get my heart rate up.  Tonight's workout will involve an indoor track (1/7th mile) and a jump rope as follows: Warm up: run two laps Main workout for 10 reps: 30 second jump rope 10 burpees  1 lap jog (slow enough to get some heartrate recovery) Cool down: Two laps  Stretching Crash on couch to Monday night football
