Only way I could hit the gym would be late night, and I do a ton of work during that time. So has to be stuff I can push away from my office chair and do, or a quick run in the morning before my wife leaves for work etc.
I forgot to mention heart rate.

This is a great calculator for you to figure out what your heart rate range. http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/hr.shtml

The zone you want to be in is 75% top 90%. You take your resting heart rate by taking your pulse when you first wake up. Mine is 68. So my break down is
75% 137bpm
90% 168bpm

Obviously, you can't start off at 75% and 90% right off the bat. I started at 50% and added 20 bpm as my max, till i got up the the 75% range. I suggest you do that too once you start doing HIIT in week 3.

I own a polar heart rate monitor that I use when doing cardio. Most machines will read the Polar HR http://www.polarusa.com/ Get them at any sports store.

I'm excited to see how your training takes off. I started with the earlier posted routine in my first month, and my cardio took off, the weight disappeared.

By my second month, I added BJJ, Wrestling, and Boxing to it. You'll love how you will feel, and as long as you dont' overtrain, will be the healthiest you have in a long time! I can out run, outlift, and out fight my 18 year old self.
