Ryan: Intervals and Vegetarian Try-Outs
Hello everyone, Another healthy week in the books! I took Jessica’s advice regarding interval training this past weekend. I did 15 rounds of 1 (fast) min : 1 (slow) min and immidiately saw resuts. I covered 6KM for a total of 5 Min/km during the work out. It is amazing how that little timer keeps the focus on pace throughout the workout. I am going to add in more shorter 5-6 KM runs going forward, as per Jessica’s comments about my muscle goals relative to my cardio goals (Jess adds: With too many long runs, Ryan will not put on the muscle that he intends).

The mountain climber performed with two legs is a fantastic little exercise to kick the heart rate up, to warm up all the muscles in the body and to activate the core. This one literally gives the mountain climber a leg up! Lift a leg, and it places far more demands on the upper body, core, and the leg and butt of the “climbing” leg. GIVE IT A SHOT! :)
