As I hopped on the treadmill this morning and pressed play on my iPod, Will Smith’s “Getting Jiggy With It” started blasting which you know made my 20-minute cardio session fly by! I completed the following workout: Minutes Incline Pace 0-5 8.0 4.0 5-10 1.0 6.5 10-14 1.0 7.0 14-15 1.0 8.0 15-20 8.0 4.0…
