Over 3 months now I barely done any HIIT training. I’ve been focusing on strength training and stretching (as it’s just as important as all workout techniques).
Currently I’m doing a new and quite different training program what I did so far and which I’ll share soon after my first month has completed.
However I’m already planning my own programs when I won’t have guidance of what to do and how. It doesn’t mean I’ll stop listening to who’s more experienced and know the ‘business’, I just feel it’ll time to see what I’ve learned from my masters put it into practice.
I’ve noticed like a month ago that I barely able to do -again- any kind of fast phased, cardio workout… it’s time to get back where I was and get myself even better condition.
This workout took me to complete like 25 minutes which not really good, but at least I have my next workout to compare to.
As warm up I said hello to my love: Pamela the step machine a.k.a. Pam on level 11 at first 4 minutes then I started to faint so went back to level 8 for extra 11 minutes.
As my lower body got a nice warm up… already sweats were rolling down all over me by this point..
I continued with rowing machine for 5 minutes with at least 1000 metres.
Have to be honest I felt, my body felt at 2 minutes that I’ll have to stop at 2 minutes 30 seconds but then my brain was like “hell no!!! I can’t be .. won’t be such a pussy and stop at this point of the workout… no skipping bitch!”… literally had this conversation in my head with myself.
I’ve got in a terrible mood as I wanted to give up and realising how bad I’ve become.. just like when I started this whole fitness journey.
But I pushed through and even a bit more I made more then 1000 metres and longer then 5 minutes. Felt like I’m dying but felt amazing.
Although the hard part not even started yet.
Rowing was just a warm up for my upper body….
The main workout were the following steps:
5 (FIVE) rounds of
10 Thrusters with 10 kilograms bar.
10 Front Squats with 10 kilograms bar.
300 metres of Sprint – that got me for real..
5 Double Crunch with 10 kilograms of plate pushed up in the air.
That was my Workout of the Day. My Daily HIIT.
I could have done it with 15 kilograms too but I wasn’t sure if I was ready for it. I rather get to my goal a bit slower then causing injury to myself and not being able to train at all.
A very similar workout session I’ve done more then 3 months ago and that workout inspired this one today.
However the difference between the two events not the weight or the amounts of round… it’s Me who – I think- supposed be stronger (maybe a bit) and faster and in better shape then I feel right now and this workout supposed to be a piece of cake. But it wasn’t, I suffered and I love this whole pushing myself to the limits thing but I expected from myself better results.
Don’t get me wrong I’m still celebrating that I completed my plans for today but I know I can do better. And I will.
I’ll finish my thought with the following quote,
Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
Lance Armstrong
