Bridal Boot Camp: The Workout

Slimming Cardio Sessions: 29-minute Mix-It-Up Session

29-Minute Mix-It-Up Session

Time Intensity (Scale of 1 to 10)

5 minutes Warm up at an easy pace, an intensity of 3 or 4.

5 minutes Increase pace to level 5, about half of your top effort, and stay there for five minutes. (If working on a treadmill, set the incline to 1 percent.)

2 minutes Take your speed up a notch to level 6 where your sentences are just beginning to get choppy. (On a treadmill, you can increase the incline to raise the intensity level or increase the resistance on other cardio machines.)

5 minutes Decrease speed (or incline, resistance) to your level 5 pace.

2 minutes Increase your speed (and incline, resistance) to take it up another notch to level 7 where it feels like you are working pretty hard.

5 minutes Decrease speed (and incline, resistance) to your level 5 pace.

5 minutes Cool down at an easy, level 3 pace.
