HIT has really paid off

Now I truly notice that HIT workouts have made a difference. I walked 3 km + jogged 3 km today. It was sunny, a bit windy but quite hot in the sun. Earlier jogging in sunshine has been horrible for me, I've been avoiding it as much as possible. 

Dragging my overweight around in the sun has been a pain.

Not today. 

It was surprisingly easy to jog the 3 km home from the cemetery.

HIT workouts have made a difference.

Woo hoo! 

If things go as I have planned then it's HIT inspired workout at the gym tomorrow before going to the archipelago with good friends.

Cross training!

Thursday was HIT-inspired strength training. 50 burpees, 50 Mountain Climbers, 50 box steps, and abs!!

Today was cross training day. 45 minutes indoors cycling and 2 kilometres indoor rowing.

We'll see what tomorrow will bring! 

Cardio Sunday

Sunday was Cardio Sunday at the Grace crew gym. 30 minutes of 1 minute walk-1 minute run-intervals on the treadmill with 2 incline + 20 minutes of tabata on the rowing machine!

On Monday morning I'm doing something I've never done before: I'm going to the helicopter deck for a workout before I go to work! It shouldn't be that windy.

A few days ago I did a HIT workout with a workmate:

It was fun!

Uphill!

The uphill Rusthollinkatu 2 - Rusthollinkatu 4 in 1 min 20 sec. 27th June 2014.

The only way is up! Woop! Woop!!

Lifting heavy things up

Lifting heavy things up. Putting them back down on the floor. Lifting them up again. Putting them down. Etc. Etc. Etc.

That was the theme of yesterday's HIT class at the gym.

Today I feel the workout in my body but I can still move quite well so it looks like I'm going outdoors for a run! The weather seems ok:ish.

Building strength in my legs

 50 x box steps/workout. Great for building strong legs.

I. Hate. Burpees.

That's why I will do 50 burpees whenever possible in a workout.
