A New Day……….
Okay… so I’ve regrouped and gotten back on the train. I’m doing well this week with my eating and cardio. I have to take it day by day. Today was to be my off day, but I decided to walk. I walked the new trail I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs. And boy let me tell you… my hamstrings are tight. I started something new this week. The high intensity interval training. While doing treadmill, bike, stairclimber etc. you do moderate pace for 2 min and then do high speed for 30 seconds. Then back down to moderate for 2 mins. This is supposed to spike your heart rate. And let me tell you…ya girl was sweating her A*& off yesterday. I did the stairclimber first. Started moderate pace at level 3… the kicked up for 30 sec. on level 7. Those stairs were coming at me like gangbusters. I was keeping up, but I was glad when those 30 sec were over! "whew"!!! I did 15 mins total. Then I went to the bike. I put the bike on random starting at level 6 and when on random, the bike moves from one level up to another and back and forth. I got up to about level 13. So I went from 6 to 13 and all those inbetween. I was one tired, but energized sista when I got done! But I was proud of myself because I kept up with the pace and didn’t give up and quit!

Good job! I love doing HIIT cardio! In my work out routine I leave cardio last. Thats my time to just zone out in front of the TV and go at it.
