HIIT Cardio

by Lia Halsall

This morning I woke up with doms in my glutes and quads. It just goes to show that you don’t need to spend hours training in the gym to benefit from it. As long as whatever you do is done with the correct form, good technique and maximum effort you will benefit from it. It’s not how much you do, it’s what you do.

So today my training headed in a totally different direction. Hubby (bless him) introduced me to sled sprints. It’s a high intensity lower body cardio working and here’s what we actually did:

★ 10 x 40m Sled Sprints (30 second rest in-between)

★ 2 Minute Rest

★ 10 x 40m Sled Sprints (30 second rest in-between)

Then once we’d finished it was into the cardio room for a low intensity lower body cardio workout. By the time I was finished my legs were spent and I was covered in sweat from head to toe. I’m feeling it now, let me tell you. Between doms from yesterday’s weight training and today’s sled sprints I’m spent.LOL!! I’m dreading what tomorrow morning will be like, oh the pain of it all.

The next three days at work I’ll be on course so more than likely I won’t have time to post. I’ll be getting up at 0430hrs just so I can squeeze it all in, there’s no excuses for missing out on health and fitness.

PPPPPP = Prior Planning & Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performances

Enjoy the rest of your week and I’ll be back to catch up over the weekend.
