Wogging....

No I'm not talking about Blogging!
I read this article about wogging and it apparently an even "fresher trend, combines walking and jogging. It is an easy way to take your walking workout to the next level. Apparently you will burn more calories, improve heart health and may even ward off osteoporosis with this more intense but doable workout."

So I decided to give it a try this am and it was a great workout. My heart rate was up and quickly! I also clocked almost.75 miles more than my previous routine. Let me know what you think. In addition I did 3 sets of 20 medicine ball tosses [chest level directly out] with Rick and then 3 sets of 20 medicine ball tosses [under hand- from knee height up to his chest level].

The Wogging Plan:

WEEK 1: Walk [I did a brisk] 4 minutes, jog 2. Repeat three times [I did 4 rounds].
I finished the remaining time [~6-10mins.] walking at a brisk pace to get to 35mins total.

WEEK 2: Walk 3 minutes, jog 3. Repeat four times.
WEEK 3: Walk 2.5 minutes, jog 5. Repeat three times.
WEEK 4: Walk 3 minutes, jog 7. Repeat two times.
WEEK 5: Walk 2 minutes, jog 8. Repeat two times.
WEEK 6: Walk 2 minutes, jog 9. Repeat two times.

I like this concept. I will return form Old Forge on Wed. and may try to start it then.

It's Sunday... and I did the same Wogging workout that I did yesterday. In addition I used the resistance band that Dawn gave us and did a stretching/ resistance routine for my arms and legs.
Good Luck!
