Cathe Friedrich just plain rocks. I am soooo loving her new HIIT workouts and that whole new cardio series. I love specifically the HIIT workouts because I like to do that 20 minutes or so of killer cardio, followed by whatever weight training I'm going to do. I know that even with the 20 minute HIIT I've started my workout with a 225 calorie burn. Nice. And personally I like doing my cardio before weights. I know that goes against what most trainers will tell you, but go figure, I'm kind of going against MOST stuff lately- AND IT'S WORKING. So There!
Do you do cardio first or weights first? Or do you do cardio days separately?
I did Cathe HIIT 30/30 today followed by an "oldie but goodie"...Jari Love "Get Ripped and Chiseled". Here is a peek- and please ignore how she says "...proven to burn nothing but carbs" which makes me tilt my head.
Jari's workouts are intense. I haven't done them in a while but let me tell you- do NOT let the "light weights" and reps that last forever fool you into thinking this is an easy workout. I kid you not she was using 8 lb weights for shoulders and I was DYING. Total failure. In a good way. I LOVE LOVE LOVE mixing my workouts up- going heavy with isolation, using Tabata, then doing a Jari Love type workout......Keeps the body guessing and keeps me entertained. And my body is responding...! Today was a 710 calorie burn!!
On that note, I must run kids. It is SO nice to be in town this week, I have 3 great workouts down- gonna get 2 more killer ones in and next week as well. I'm ready to make these abs POP!! WOOT!!
And see below.....so many of you have been asking me so many questions about Eat Stop Eat and what I'm doing and why I chose to go in this direction....so bear with the 3 vlogs again! OY VEY!
