Thursday January 12, 2012

Today was my day to get some High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Cardio in. My goal is to get my heart rate up, keep the body moving, and burn that fat. I was wearing my vibram 5 finger shoes during this whole training as well. Last year I wore the Vibrams during the whole event. They are a whole new workout for your legs and take some time to get used to. Your calf muscles have to adjust because, with these shoes, it is a constant pounding on the calves. Start out slow and build your way up.

Run Half Mile (In Vibrams)

50 Pushups
50 Pull-ups (Assisted Machine)
1 Minute Jump Rope
20 Pushups
30 Crunches

1 minute rest

1 Minute Jump Rope
20 Pushups
30 Crunches

Superset
30 Sit-ups on the Back Extension Machine
10 Back Extensions

I never realized how tough jump roping was but I was definitely tired after 1 min. The last superset was not planned but I saw the Back extension machine and couldn’t resist.
