So last night was my second night of HIIT on the treadmill. I did 15 minutes before my Body Pump class. I think I need to get a heart monitor. I know I got my heart pumping and I was sweating buckets but I need to be sure I am getting all I can out of the sprints.
Last night I did a 4 minute warm up at 3.5mph and went straight into a 30 second sprint at 7.5mph then took it back down to 3.5 for a two minute recovery and back up to 7.5 for a 30 second sprint. Did this all the way up to 14 minutes then I sprinted for 60 seconds to finish out. I thought I was gonna trip and fall of the dag on treadmill that last 60 seconds but I pushed it out! It felt really good because I am not a runner but I was moving last night, lol.
I am going to do it again tonight and and for the next couple of weeks try to build up to doing 60 minute sprints and 60 minute recoveries. By the way, I talked to my doctor on Tuesday and learned that if I have surgery on my foot this month, I will not be able to exercise AT ALL for a full 12 weeks and after that, only partial weight bearing exercises for about another 3-6 months. I CANNOT INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW!!! So I have decided to postpone my surgery until the fall. That way, I will be able to reach my goal and be in maintenance before I have to stop exercising for such and extended period of time.
That's my "Tea" for the day, TTFN!
