Three PAX arrived at Trident for a workout designed around the original theory of high intensity interval training (HIIT).
Q: Boy Band
PAX: Hot N’ Ready, Red Skull
WOR: good mornings, Willy Mays, baby arm circles, merkins, squats
Thang:
HIIT is supposed to be a 30sec 100% effort sprint with several minutes rest before the next set to allow for another 100% effort. Supposedly this promotes enough anaerobic metabolism to trigger mitochondrial growth which can improve work capacity and endurance.
We did 6 rounds as follows:
Sprint the parking garage length and then up the ramp coming back. About 30s.
Slow mosey to the starting line, then 20 Merkins, 20 squats, 20 WWIs.
1 min rest, then rinse and repeat
-Sets 4 and 5 were cut in half due to inability to keep 100% effort for the parking ramp.
-Set 6 was a run up the parking ramp and then the flat.
MARY: flutter kicks, LBCs, J-Los, Plank series, good mornings
COT: Get Ready for the 4:13 strong reboot. Ironclad double gloved edition is on. Great company and a tough workout this morning.
