***tapered back because was dropping weight too fast.

All cardio was walking outside, at a pace of 3.6-3.8mph. No hills/incline (I live in Florida).
I enjoy walking outside. I listen to classical music and think about/plan my day. Or visualize the
stage, posing, thinking about first callouts.

I also will do intervals of drawing my abs/waist in to the point of slight discomfort (I couldn’t hold it there forever), and hold it as long as I can. Take a break, repeat for the duration of cardio.
