HIIT is no joke

[finallykrisb]

I'm taking a break from running and focusing on lifting. I bought a kettlebell and decided to use it for HIIT on non-lifting days. Today was my first workout. 30 minutes almost killed me.

It is tough! I've done a few of Jillian Michael's HIIT-type workouts and it's no joke! Do you have a video you used? I'm always looking for new things to mix up my workouts.

It's BRUTAL. I did a rowing HIIT workout at lunch b/c I couldn't do my normal class and I pretty much died. My director was on the elliptical behind me and was like "You're nuts."

When the rowers arrived at Crossfit, I got all excited because they have games. It wasn't until about 5 minutes later when I wanted to puke that I realized that rowing faster/slower so my medium-sized fishy could eat smaller fish and avoid getting eaten by bigger fish was really just interval training disguised as a game for dummies like me!

What'd you do today, finallykrisb?

I'm laughing, out loud, at my desk. There was maybe snorting.

I need to see if my rower has games....

I've played that game on the rower before!

I did kettlebell swings, goblet squats, high pulls and walking lunges. 1 minute on, 30 seconds off, 5 rounds total.

I love the fish game! H laughed at me the first time I excitedly went home and told him all about playing the fish game at the gym. He won't play it, I think he's afraid he wouldn't be able to beat my score.

JM's HIIT workouts are killer. I did Banish Fat Boost Metabolism last night and stopped 30 minutes in. LOL.
