HIIT at the Trident

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.
