I am so amped up for Spring and outdoor exercise. So here is a cardio workout you can do at your local track. Most middle schools and high schools open their tracks to the public when school is not in session. So you can workout there in the early morning or the evening. Some tracks even have lights for nighttime workouts. If you are curious why I like track workouts, read this post "In Praise of Running at a Track."

FYI: One lap is generally 400 meters, or a quarter mile (.248 miles)
