New machine etc
So today I was finally able to try the Arc trainer! I hadnt been at PF for a couple weeks and they just got a whole bunch of them. I liked it. I burned about 600 calories in a little under 50 min. So, that was actually pretty good. Ive been reading even more about HIIT (and different ways to do it etc). I read a few places 3x a week was good. So, thats what I am doing. Ive also increased the amount to 30 min (you really dont have to go much beyond that). On the days I dont do HIIT, I just do regular cardio. For me, now, thats about 50-55 min.
Ive been really good lately about splitting up my sessions(cardio and weights). I need to go tonight to do back/ maybe a little triceps. Im also trying a little something different with my diet. Normally, one of my meals/snacks is a good protein bar. I try to pick the best ones, particularly ones with low sugar or what not. Ive been eating them every day for a while now. I am going to try to replace that, or at least not have them every day, with musclemilk. Not quite as convenient since you have to mix with water but it should be ok for most days!
Wait a minute….. I think I just heard the sound an icecream truck out front.. lol….I’ll be good… I swear

I’m a noob I’m going to have to google the arc machine. Just a comment on the muscle milk, its great tasting I think you will really like it. I like cookies and cream…( it has real cookie pecies in it) ^_^

Hey u. I haven’t had a chance to go to PF in the past 5 weeks, just Ballys. Sounds good with the cardio. I’ve read a study that compared HIIT against regular cardio (walking, running, etc…), and they said the people they had contained the same results. I believe in just balls to the wall training. But that’s me
. Keep up the good work. Adios…
