I'm planning on attempting to work out while I'm out of town, but I really don't know what the schedule is like or anything. I would like to shoot for 25/30, but if I can't workout for those 4 days, that cuts me kinda close if things come up during the rest of the month.

My official pledge is 20/30. And 3 weeks of C25K.

9/1: C25k Day 1 (again)

9/1 = 20minute Turbo Jam workout
9/2 = 30minute Hip Hop Abs Fat Burning Cardio
