I am loving it. I have more energy, I am in a great mood ll of the time so much so

What is HIIT?

High-intensity interval training (HIIT), is a form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 4–40 minutes. The short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved metabolism, and improved fat burning. This is why I love it. You can really feel the burn and feel how hard your body is working. Not only is your body working but so is your mind, working on your technique is so important. A good technique is crucial for your body to avoid injury.

So after this intense workout I went home and had

breakfast which was eggs scrambled.

I has a shower then chilled for a while.

a 12:30 I went to the local community center where

myself and the GAA team were put through a number of speed and agility tests to set an

 individual baseline performance measurement. 

I won't go into detail as to what we done but I really enjoyed it. In six to eight weeks time we will do it again to see if we have improved our fitness.

needless to say my body is so tired now so I don't plan on doing a hell of a lot 

for the rest of the day.

Well that's me for now.

I hope you all have a fab weekend ;)

Chow for now
