HITT - High Intensity Interval Training

Tuesday and Thursday mornings I rarely make it to the gym.

Ok I never make it to the gym. But I have a good reason. The gym opens at 6 and I teach class at 8. And I have to park, walk, etc. It makes for a tight schedule. My goal for this week was to make it to the gym EVERY morning. At 5:15 am this morning that was the absolute last thing I wanted to do.

However, yesterday gave me my motivation. We went to a great restaurant and I stuck to the diet perfectly. And you know what? Before I went to the bed I didn't feel "fat", "bloated" or anything else. I was happy! Talk about inspiring.

So I did 35 minutes of HITT at the gym. Boy was I feeling it. Basically you go as fast as you possibly can, so fast you couldn't keep the speed up for more than a minute, then recover for two minutes. I chose the elliptical this morning. It was also great to see I burned an extra 100 calories than my normal 35 minute session. Read about the benefits of HITT here... you may want to try it soon!
