Fri, Oct 22: 2 weeks of cardio
2 weeks of cardio
Today, is the two week mark of doing regular cardio. For the last two months, I hardly did any cardio while I was on the 10 in 30 plan as prescribed. I had done cardio once a week. Now, in the last two weeks, I have done cardio 11 times in 14 days. I mostly did HIIT in different forms:
- Constant speed jog, around 20 minutes
- Constant speed jog, around 20 minutes
- HIIT on Spinning bike, adjusting the intensity and/or speed every minute for ten minutes
- Two sets of the high jumps and heavy-bag kick boxing, around 10 minutes
- Step Mill on Fat Burner Plus setting for 12 minutes
- Outdoor running including 3 all out ‘run-like-a-zombie-is-chasing-you’ sprints followed by a few ‘so-you-can-actually-breath-again-and-not-drop-dead’ walks
- A run followed by a sprint followed by step ups during my ‘park workout’
- Spinning bike HIIT 15 min.
- HIIT run: treadmill incline up to 18% for 15 minutes (that’s a pretty steep incline on the super incline machines)
- Spinning bike HIIT 15 min.
- 15 min HIIT run incline up to 18%
I will do cardio at least 3 days a week ’til I drop my fat to 9% and watch my carbohydrate intake. I’ll mostly eat carbs for breakfast only, and after my workout. Of course, I’m not perfect, so I’ll occasionally have that late night bowl of cereal or the afternoon peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
