I haven't been completely disciplined this summer, but I've probably done a HIIT workout at least 2-3 times a week this summer. There have of course been a few weeks where I was sick or out of town or something, but for the most part, I'm doing 25-30 minutes on ...
I recently got some new shoes, the Nike Air Triax+. They're Awesome. So comfortable, so squishy, so supportive. I threw in my iPod+ pod and headed out for a run. It's the first run I've done in a while, and I was super excited to find that since I've been ...
Since I've been riding on the exercise bike, I've been doing 60 second intervals. Yesterday I did 10. The way the program on this bike works, there are 60-second intervals followed by 60-second rest periods. They alternate every 60 seconds right from the beginning, but increasing in difficulty before slowly ...

So, things got pretty busy at work for a few weeks, and my running/workout partner moved, so I was low on motivation. However, all last week I was in Moab, Utah mountain biking, and now I'm ready to get back on the wagon and start going for my goal again. ...

I got up at 5:45am, drove 20 minutes to my buddy's house, got out, knocked on the door, and was not greeted by anyone. He's babysitting his wife's sister's son, and so I figured they stayed the night at that house, so the boy could have his own crib. Drat! ...

So after a few weeks off, I finally returned to Interval Training. After lifting weights with my good friend yesterday morning, we both did four intervals of sprinting, but to make it interesting, we ran up the hill right outside his house. This was both excruciating AND much easier. I ...
I don't mean forward momentum, which many people say is important, I mean daily momentum. Up until Christmas, I was committed and motivated to work out at least 3-4 days a week. I even ran the day after Christmas (which is pretty much a slacker day in my family). And ...

The two groups exercised for 30 minutes per workout, however, one group did steady cardio for the full thirty minutes on a stationary bike. The other group did ...
