Last chance workout before WW tomorrow

Since I did a lot of arm strength training yesterday, today I mainly focused on cardio.

Started on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes. Warmed up at L2 for 5 min. Then every 2 minutes I uped the level 1-2 notches ending at L8. Then I did 30 sec. hits increasing levels from L10 to L11 and L12. Between each 30 sec. hit, I lowered it back down to L8 for 30-60 seconds. Then I brought it back down a level or two every two minutes until L2.

Moved on to the treadmill for 25 minutes. Starting at 3.0 for about 4 minutes or so, moved up 2 points every 2-3 minutes. Finished with 2 minutes at 4.0. Had a hard time finding my rhythm which allows me to just walk fast enough to keep up with the treadmill. Came back down gradually over 7 minutes and cooled off. Really sweating today and yesterday.
