Pump it up!
There is nothing like the feeling of a good workout that leaves your muscle pumped, your body spent, and the knowledge that today was a good day.
I have slowly been trying to work my conditioning back to where it was since my injury. Between stiffness in the mornings leading to spasms or treadmills that just are build for all you slim, fit people, I have been reduced to walking on an incline for the most part during my cardio sessions.
Today I was determined to hit it aggresively. I used the Sprint 8 technique with is similar to the HIIT program in todays session. 20 minutes later, I completed my 2 miles with (8) 30 second sprints at times ranging from 9.5 to 11.5. Felt pretty good, but wanted to hit arms while i was there as well. Blood was pumping, and I increased the weight for my bicep routine. Lets just say its been a while since I felt the total burnout in my biceps. It was a goood hurt too:-)
Next I went dip crazy since I only had 10 minutes before a meeting at work. WOOOOO! when I was done I felt like one of those video game characters after a victory. Swollen and taking deep breaths.
Now thats whats up! Tomorrow I will try a 2-a-day. Core and cardio in the AM and Legs in the PM.
