High Intensity Interval Training

Now that was fun. Last night I started a new thing I call it the 5.6.7.8. training on the treadmill. This is how it goes;

Start with 5 miles per hour for 1 minute. Then 6 miles per hour also 1 minute, all the way to 8 miles per hour 1 minute and slow down to 5 miles per hour for 1 minute and repeat. That means every minute you go a different speed. Do this as a total of 30 minutes and you know you worked out. The whole thing is to give your body a boost. Unfortunatly my heartbeat does not even go beyond 123 beats per minute but I can still feel it.

It is something different for sure and I like it, nice to break the standards.

Today was “meet the machines” day an orientation of what is available in the gym. I must say impressive as well as the amount of machines as in variety. Some very recognizable names like squat, Lat pull down and so fort. Nice thing the name of the exercise ass well the instructions how to do it is on the machine.

Started with a warming up on the bike for 8 minutes. Then did some try outs on the machines, some cardio on the treadmill as an interval 1 minute walking and 2 minutes running for a total of 10 minutes after that some stretching and back home.

While I’m typing this I feel things that I know of as muscles hm so it starts really now. It was not to bad tough. Tomorrow another round of try out. Next monday I start a real workout plan, now I need time to get into the whole fintness thing again.

Food was good today, started with a protein shake in the morning, thai chicken and a yogurt for lunch and fried chicken with green beans for supper.  I resisted a birthday cake at work Woooow thats new too.
