These are High Intensity Interval Training sessions designed to help you keep your heart healthy. They are made to be done at your level, so go as fast/hard as you can, but within your "zone".

Weights!

We all need to lift weights to prepare our body for the stuff of life!  Lifting weights keeps your body protected from age-related muscle loss, and it's really important for your metabolism too. Once you start, you'll feel better and better. 

I will be using mid to heavy weights. You should be choosing the weights that feel right to you, leaving you a bit tired, but not in discomfort. Progress your reps and sets, and when it gets easy, it's time to life more weight. 

Those with osteoporosis should be especially attuned and mindful and not lift heavier than 20 pounds. 

Enjoy!
