♥ SMART Quest ♥ Thurs. May 12, 2011

Week 9, Day 4
My SMART Quest for today is: Drink all of my water and try to steer away from the carbs.  I have the workout down but my eating is off.  I either skip meals or eat things I shouldn't.  Not candy or fattening things, just the wrong things.  It seems I am bored with eating the same old stuff.  I gotta a change it up a bit...how?
SLEEP:   5 1/2 hours - I went to bed  at 11:30 pm , awoke at 5:00 am
AWOKE: 5:00 am
WARM UP: 5:35 am
Push Ups x 12
Squats x 20
Spiderman Climbs x 20 total
Jumping Jacks x 30

Today I am doing a HIIT consisting of a series of  8 exercises based on Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 2 Program!   I am doing 90 seconds on 90 seconds active recovery. 

High Intensity Interval Training

These are timed Intervals:  Set your Gymboss Timer to 2 intervals of 90 seconds each and 8 rounds.  Each round is 3 minutes.  24:00 total

5 Minutes of cool down at a moderate pace on the scale a "3" - Doing more kick boxing moves.

Each exercise took 3 minutes for a total of 24 minutes (8 exercises), plus 5 minutes of cool down & 5 minutes of warm up. 

 
I find myself liking these HIIT workouts better than the Tabatas lately!  Good challenge!
