Saturday power stroll

Returning to the Shape "Break Down the Fat Barrier" workout, we're modifying the endurance workout to fit our half-hour goal.

Of course, since it's Saturday, there's nothing stopping you from doing the 50 to 60 minutes recommended by Shape.

Total workout time
30 min.

Warm-up
5 min. at RPE 4

Workout
20 min. at RPE 5-6

Cool-down

Fitness tidbit of the day:
What's RPE? Rate of perceived exertion. It's a common term in fitness circles describing your level of intensity. Weight Watchers also has a nice description of RPE.

Generally:

• 1-4= No exertion to light exertion, easy to talk, no sweat.
  
• 5-6= Somewhat hard, breathing heavier, sweating after about 10 minutes of activity, can talk but probably not sing.
  
• 7-8= Hard, breathing heavy, talk in short sentences, sweating after 3 to 4 minutes.
  
• 9-10= Very hard to maximum, breathing hard, hard to talk, sweating quite a bit.
  

Good luck and stay fit!
