11/29: Upper Body Workout + HIIT (Interval Training)

November 29, 2009 By Melinda F Leave a Comment

I’m really liking the current workout split that I’ve got going on. Today was an upper body workout followed by HIIT (or high intensity interval training). My legs have actually recovered from my last lower body workout and that makes trying to sprint a whole lot easier. When I was doing the full body workouts [...]

April 17, 2009 By Melinda F Leave a Comment

I am loving this workout program! It’s pretty intense, but that’s what my body seems to respond to the quickest. My abs, quads and hamstrings are sore from my most recent lower body workout. Remember that the rep order goes like this: 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 and then 12 of the 2nd exercise. Here’s [...]

I had totally intended on doing some ab work prior to running but I completely forgot. Whoops. For today’s cardio, I tried a new interval training workout and it was pretty tough for me. The good news is, it only last 22 minutes. It was a 20 minute workout, but I wanted to get to [...]
