Cardio Walk (cw): Here you will walk at a fast pace while keeping your arms at chest level and swinging them front to back–just as when running. I call this a cardio walk because of its cardiovascular and fat burning benefits. This walk is also designed to move you progressively into running.

Mile (m):  The m simply means mile.

Strength Training (S.T.): A method of improving muscular strength by gradually increasing the ability to resist force through the use of free weights, machines, or the person’s own body weight. Strength training sessions are designed to impose increasingly greater resistance, which in turn stimulates development of muscle strength to meet the added demand.
