Yo.
I started interval training today. I like it a lot! It's a lot more interesting than regular old cardio for me, and makes me just as sweaty. I only did it for 16 minutes today, alternating between 30 second sprints and 90 second jogs. I definitely need to up it to 20 minutes next time, but otherwise it was really really good. I really wish I had a treadmill though - as previously documented in past blog posts, if you go too fast on my elliptical and veer off-center even a little bit, one of the foot things WILL fall off it's rail, which is really unfortunate. Also, I just imagine interval training just works BETTER on a treadmill, because you can move more naturally. Either way, gotta stick with the elliptical for now, and it's still feeling good.
Weight work was great today. Having that little bit of time off must have energized me a bit; my form was better than ever and I attempted to move my weight up (though I've decided that it's not quite time to do that yet). Tricep kickbacks were feeling a little weird; the actual set would be good, but then when I was done, my arm would get this weird soreness for like 2 seconds. So I only did two sets instead of three. Regardless, overall good workout today. I'm starting to see some pretty solid results in my arms; I'm gonna need to lose some fat before I start seeing results anywhere else.
Also, I should really start weighing myself. I haven't weighed myself at all - not even when this first started. Hurm.

Yo dude,
ReplyDeleteyou should definitely weigh yourself. It will help you know if you need to change your diet more as well, because you won't see real results unless you do. Weigh and measure! For your arms, if you want to know if they've grown at all and how much, then measure. There are sites you can plug in your measurements to keep track of them and stuff too. You can also find out your BMI to see how far you have to go to be at the "ideal" weight/height for your age. It's not 100% accurate because it doesn't calculate muscle but its still helpful.
Good work :D
