This morning I awoke at 6:30 a.m. ready to go with the 30 Minute Jello Legs Routine combined with the 30 Minute Core Sculptor Routine (for elliptical). I do not have an elliptical at home so I modified the routine by jogging on an incline during the moderate-hard intervals on the machine.
I did Jello Legs first with the complete warm-up and then moved into the routine. WOW! I named the routine aptly. It has been awhile since I tried it and it really does work your legs and your aerobic system. Rather than doing the cool down, I walked easy for two minutes to transition (drink water, wipe off the sweat, and catch my breath) into the Core Sculptor.
Starting at the first jog interval (or moderate-hard interval for elliptical users), I completed the entire routine including the cool down. This took me a little over the 48 min. mark from start to finish. The last twelve minutes I stretched in the floor really good.
Elliptical users…you can also do the same switch with the Treadmill Jello Legs routine by following the intensities. Just sub out the machine interval MPH paces for fast/slow pace on the elliptical. Don’t be afraid to up the resistance either!
By combining these two cardio routines I got a great ab/core and lower body workout in, plus my HRM had me at just over 400 calories burned for the 48 minutes.
