Hills, Hills, & More Hills

I left my Gym Boss at Matt's house. I'm beyond irritated that I don't have it. There are many workouts I want to do this week that require it. I went to the gym and did Hells instead.

45 minutes, 3.5 mph.

On the up side, these were much easier than they were last week. Afterward, I decided to see if I can do pull ups again. I did 4 with a parallel grip. I rock.

Hills

Hills,affectionately known as "Hells" by anyone who has done them, is an interval training protocol that, while not a high intensity protocol, is an effective alternative to steady state cardio known to bring up V02max quickly. I did these on the treadmill today at 3.5 miles per hour. For my purposes, I'm going to call this endurance training.

Oh, and I took the dogs for a leisurely 40 min walk this morning. Today was a good day to walk, I guess.
