Make ELLF work for you Monday: ramp it up day!

Yes, I know, we already did the Ramp it up Version.  So what?  It's time to jump it up another notch and get ready to enjoy the results!

Whatever exercise you are doing, it's time to make it a bit harder.  If you are a walker, walk further, or add running to your workout.  Walk for 2 minutes, run for 1 and repeat until you die. 

I'm kidding.  I think.

Doing videos?   Can you do two in one day?  Add weight work to one?  Push yourself to the next level?

Biking?  Farther, faster and longer. 

Eliptical?  Move to the next level.

The point is, at this time in your workout, you've had time to grow complacent and it's time to move again. Remember, muscles have memories and they quickly grow accustomed to the work you are doing.  What was a challenge a month ago may not even cause you to break a sweat, and it is time to remedy that.

Move it, people!

Carmen, do you have any ideas on how to reward yourself for working out that don't involve food treats (I know the reward of a healthier life is already there, but sometimes I need a little more!)? Also, money is pretty tight, so something cheap would be helpful too:)
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have been reading your blog for a while now, and just added it to my own blog. I hope you don't mind, and keep up the great work!

I recently started reading your blog and I have an 8 week challenge just starting on my blog (http://fitness-tiff.blogspot.com/) and I challenged everyone to throw some walking or standing lunges into their cardio routine.
