Spring has started out on the cold side; maybe we can warm it up a bit?
The plan:20 minutes of HIIT. Warm up with some thing dynamic, get the heart pumping, limber up and work any tightness from your muscles. Complete 4 rounds of the following 5 exercise (set your timer for 10 seconds rest and 50 seconds work)
The plan: Treadmill sprints! mixing it up for time and speed! Basically, you can tailor this to your own desires, but my session today will look something like this (you will have to imagine the sweat, gasps for air and cursing):
Warm up
1min @ 14.5km/h then 1 minute rest
1 min @ 15.5km/h then 1 minute rest
1 min @ 16km/h then 1 minute rest
30 sec @ 17.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
30 sec @ 18.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
30 sec @ 17.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
1 min @ 14km/h then 1 minute rest
30 sec @ 17.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
30 sec @ 18.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
30 sec @ 17.5km/h then 30 seconds rest
1 min @ 16km/h then 1 minute rest
1 min @ 15.5km/h then 1 minute rest
1 min @ 14.5km/h then 1 minute rest
Ramp it up, or slow it down. I don’t usually put speeds up but I wasn’t sure how to describe it. Kinda like sprinting up and down a hill but not really?!?
