Tried to follow a HIIT elliptical workout on YouTube. Made it 9 minutes in to a 30 minute video. Gave up, put Tidying Up on Netflix and zoned out for a half hour jogging it out. Still burned around 400kcal per Fitbit.
30minutes on thread mill. Speed and incline programed into a recommended cardio program that was established for me during last years cardio rehab. I try to do this every day of the week, lately having some back pain not related to this activity. Those days I had to reduce the time or activity altogether.
Annnd I did the evening erg session (no slides) today as well, after taking a much needed nap and deciding to eat a light dinner.
Main workout: 3x10'/4' rest. Rate 4min @ 22, 3min @ 23, 2min @ 24, 1 min @ 25.
The third interval was followed by 5 min - rate 2', 1', 1', 1' @ 25, 26, 27, 28
It was bookended by warm up/cool down. My average split for the main workout was 2:03.1 and negative splitted in a pretty major way across the first 3 intervals (and then the 4th but that's logical). I definitely am falling into the trap of eating too little which was probably exasperated by having been sick - though that appears to have finally cleared my system (I ended up with bronchitis). This morning I was feeling more fatigued than I should have (despite the good erg score), so I made a point of eating/drinking more throughout the day. I also had a surprisingly good hamburger and fries for my main dinner.
Tomorrow is a rest day, so I'll get a good chance to see how the wednesday two a day during the first week of the school term went after the fact. That will also give me a better idea as to whether or not it's realistic to do weekly while also taking classes.
Upper body day/ deload week, was on the elliptical though and did 30 minutes, it was tough as the resistance was so high my pace slowed to a snail pace, had my HR up to 160 though.
Yesterday’s easy/rest day of just GMB Elements turned hard with about an hour of bouldering. Forearms shot today, so cardio and abs today to let them recover. Some light climbing and GMB Elements this evening.
