Day 9 : Breathing exercises + Cardio (running)

I have been able to maintain longer times on the treadmill and elliptical - going from 20min to 35min.
This feels good..gaining more stamina

Today's Plan of Action:
  • Breathing exercises
  • Cardio (running) - 5 min walk..2min jog..2min run..5min walk..2min jog...5min walk
I have been intrigued by weights of late and am thinking of trying to lift some today. I have been looking at a few workout moves using 5lbs dumbbells and have been pinning a few I found do-able.
