Monday - June 2nd, 2008 - HIIT
Yesterday was another day of HIIT and a little more intense this time as well. I remember HIIT from the ol’ track running days, and I remember it was/is pretty hard core, but obviously I didn’t remember that well. It totally wiped me out… I feel really good today though (I thought I’d be more sore/tired).
I did (6) 30 second/90% intervals, with a 90 seconds of jogging in between…. by the last one I was noticeably slowing down a bit. My first 4 were nearly 200m each time, and the last two dropped from 150m to 100m…. ouch! Haha.
Regardless, it was fun to do some HIIT (High-intensity Interval Training) as opposed to the LISS (Low-Intensity Steady State) that I always do. Everything I’ve read about it and just from experience in the past proves that it can be a crucial training method to really "zap" the fat and reduce muscle loss. I like both methods and will probably do HIIT three days a week and LISS on the off days.
Lifting tonight! Finally!
I think I’m getting an Everlast Multi-function (pull-up) bar for Father’s Day! I hope so anyway!
