Stuff.
Today is just a good ole 1.5 hrs of low intensity cardio. Ill prolly ride the stationary bike. Then its off to work for more walking around for seemingly tons of hours. =0)
On a random side note, but still fitness related, when it comes to my career, I am ‘full steam ahead’ and following the path that I have laid out for myself and am confident in my decisions. When it comes to my personal advancement I always think of me competing in something. If you have read 3ish or more of my blogs, you’ll know that I am a tad bit competitive. *pinching fingers in wee bit sign* Like, some people go to church to get enlightenment, spiritual fulfillment, and an overall sense of purpose in life, I like to train. The purpose in life is to live and I like to spend part of that time competing. The current question is in what. Right now I have the opportunity to continue in bodybuilding or olympic weightlifting or even pursue different sports because of the environment I am in. I hope that soon as I continue on my current path in life the opportunity will present itself just like it has in the past and I will be ready fo sho.
OKAY, so here was a breakdown of the day’s cardio:
Jog 10 mins at 6mph
For Next 25 mins:
Brisk Walk (im a midget) at 3.5mph for 1min 45 sec
Sprint 1 min increasing speed each time starting at 8. 8.5, 9, 9.5, to 10mph for last two sprints.
Alternating walks with sprints, aka Interval training, extremely efficient fat burner and great for your heart.
Last 1hr Stationary bike hell. =0)

90 min’s of steady-state cardio? Ugh……a dull, plodding & BORING slow death. Give me HIIT. Blast it out hard, get it over with.
Good luck determining where your future lies for competing.

It took me over 30 years of training to finally realize that HIIT is the way to go. I’m not turning back now. But whatever works for you is what you should do
