THIS MONTH'S BIKINI-BODY CARDIO PLAN
How it works Do one of these routines (or go to shape.com/bikinibodycountdown for more options) five or six times a week. Choose any type of cardio you like. Take one day off each week to recover.
Fat Blaster
Do an hour of moderate cardio whether it's a brisk walk, your favorite indoor cycling class, or kickboxing. Once a week, try to go on a hike or walk for at least two hours.
The Ultimate Calorie-Burner
0-15 minutes For the first 5 minutes, warm up easy; for the next 10, stay at a moderate pace (you can maintain a conversation).

25-27 Increase the incline, resistance, or pace to a somewhat hard level.
27-29 Increase again to a slightly harder level.
29-30 Go as hard as you can.
30-33 Return to moderate.
33-41 Repeat minutes 25-33.
41-42 Go as hard as you can.
