OMG Cardio!

TIP of the day: Always remember to eat enough food! Do not starve your body or it will hate you, make you prone to illness, give you insomnia, headaches, and mood swings. If this is what you want by all means have at...otherwise eat enough calories that your body needs.

So I woke up today late from a terrible dream and did not feel very motivated. The feeling from the dream lingered into real life for the first 30 minutes I was awake. I just hate those funky moods don't you? It was rainy and I felt very lazy. "Why not take a day off?" my inner lazy voice reasoned. Inner Dialog: "Running in the rain?" but it's cold and wet, why would you want to do that? How about a grilled cheese sandwich and indoor stretching instead, huh? huh!?" Me:"Damn you, that does sound tempting..but.." ID: "but what? what do ya say..and a MOVIE and VIDEO GAMES!" Me: "He's such a bastard!" I negotiated some options and decided to tell my brain to shut up.

I completed the "OMG Cardio!" workout as I call it (click on the title) + Interval training in the rain. I will break this down;

Warm up: OMG Cardio!
Steady State for 5 minutes (light jogging or brisk walking)
Sprint for 10 seconds at 70% heart rate (use the talk test, more on this later)
rest for 20, sprint for 20 and steady state for 1 minute. And that would be considered a "wave" and this first one is called "Wave I" since it is one minute of sprints and a 1 minute rest. The routine is as follows;

Interval I (once a week), wait until you see Interval II!...I'm going to die
-----------
Pre-Warm up Cardio:
Warm up - 5 minutes
Wave I (1 minute..)
Wave II (2 minutes of sprinting and a 2 minute rest(steady state) )
Wave III (3 min..(6 all out sprinting blocks total for 10 seconds each)
Wave II
Wave I
Cool down & Stretch for 5 minutes
=28 minutes total
-----------

This may not sound too bad, but it kicks your ass! I had trouble breathing..in a good way..hmm not sure how that works.

Following this I completed the "Ab Ripper X" and an additional ab routine set up by a good friend of mine. In one hour I kicked my ass and burned approximately 800 calories = 1 slice of carrot cake at Seattle's Best!! Holy bat flaps! After these workouts you will reconsider eating said carrot cakes. It is ridiculous how much stronger I feel after doing a few of these P90x workouts along with the jogging I have been doing 4-5 times a week. I am so happy! :D

Currently relaxing with a cup of Joe and surrounded by books!
