Today was cardio day. My workout buds and I did:
HIIT on the treadmill for about 20 min (the 30 sec burst version) then moved to the recumbent (sp?) bicycle for 2 cycles of the 1 minute intervals. Ai yi yi! I'm actually pretty tired. It didn't seem so bad when I was doing it but at 9 PM I'm now feeling it! I'm debating on whether to do legs or chest tomorrow. |
