EXTREME Interval Training!
What I’m Up To:
WoW, am I glad somebody told me about interval training! Tonight was Hot! I’ve been running for a little over a year now and can run about seven miles before I’m toast, but this, oh wow, this is real pain. HIIT was really putting the screws to me. I told you guys I’d blog about it as progress started happening but I was so excited after I got done. I can’t even remember the last time I had a stitch while running and tonight I thought my heart and lungs were going to explode. Felt so great afterwards though.
If you guys want to learn more about it, let me point you in the right direction and let someone better than me explain it to you. Go to www.loracolson.com and she’ll lay it on you. Best advice I’ve gotten from a BodySpace member in a long time. Glad I actually tried it out instead of just hearing about it and shrugging it off.
Training:
Tonight was great I started off with a few minutes of light jogging to get warmed up and then it was time to hit the weights. It was mainly a deltoid workout tonight, although I threw in about six sets of pullups for bonus. I had a great time, went as heavy as I possibly could and still get in my 8-10 reps. I was really feeling it tonight, and then came the HIIT, again a light warm-up and then it was all out intervals. Best I’ve felt in a long time. Guess that rest yesterday did me some good.
Later Guys,
