"Bravery and fear are the same thing... it is just a matter of how the person reacts given the situation..."
Michael Strahan from America: The story of Us

You can now pre-order The story of Us on the History Channel website... I referenced it in the meeting, I suggest you do yourself a favor and order it.

  17. OK, first real legit Hi-carb day with exercise;
    (1 or 1.5)/3 hi carb day

    HIIT, cardio & weight work before eating anything for the day. Read directions, setup & used my new Polar heart Monitor. HIIT work & cardio done on treadmill. Finished HIIT work in about 20 minutes including warmup. Cycled up & down, 90%+ h.r. for 30-45 seconds, let it drop back to 70% h.r. & then back up again. Did 4 cycles. Upper % h.r. hit 92,94,96 & 99%. Then continued w/cardio on treadmill for another 30 minutes. Ranged 75-85% h.r. for remainder of cardio and covered 3 miles total for all inclusive treadmill work. Weight work, upper body on machines for 15 minutes w/30sec rest between sets/exercise rotations, moderate weight & high reps, 20-25 reps per set. Upper body. Kept Heart monitor on for weight work & was suprised at just how much of an effect short rest between sets/exercises has on heart rate. Ranged between 70 & 90 % of max h.r. for weight work.

  25. Frank - do your strength training BEFORE your cardio work always... good stuff

    ReplyDelete
  26. Frank - the goal is to be active 6 out of 7 days... 3 days of strength training and 3 days of HIIT is what is being asked. If you wish to double-up HIIT and strength training on certain days that is fine, but alwasy leave at least one day to rest. HIIT days are your low carb days
