A triathlon plan for everyone

I make a point of working out several times a week, and would certainly call myself fit. But when someone tells me they're doing or have done a triathlon, I'm in awe of them. In my eyes, a triathlon is like the pinnacle of fitness, something that is done by the elite of the fitness world. In other words? Something someone like me could never do.

But Shape Magazine has developed a Triathlon plan for everyone. Me included. It's a two-month plan that involves doing one or two triathlon-related activities a day, five days a week. That means you get two whole days of rest, and work out anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes the rest of the days, which, let's be honest, isn't too bad.

So if a triathlon is on your list of 'must-dos,' give it a try! You've got nothing to lose -- except for that beer gut. Click here for the program.
