After having my rest day yesterday, I had the Power Workout or S.I.T (Short Intense Training, see below) planed for this morning. It killed my legs! Seriously it's never been that hard before. My legs felt ok right after the workout and I hopped on the bike for a 10min cool-down, but after having lunch and going to the mall, my legs hurt. Really hurt. Man, all that walking didn't really help.
At 6:30pm I went on my indoor trainer for an hour. I thought I'll just do some easy training, but I ended up riding with more resistance than I had planned cos it actually felt ok and it kept my heart rate up. Well, after about an hour after I finished that training I found out that it wasn't such a great idea, now my legs hurt even more!
I'm already looking forward to the interval training tomorrow morning - not.
Just so that you get an idea of what that Power Workout is I'm talking about, here's what I do:
15min warm-up on the wind trainer and some dynamic stretching
3min jumping jacks
3min rope skipping (without a rope :))
3min running on the spot with high knees
3 x 45sec frog jumps alternating with 45sec shoulderblade pushes
3 x 45sec plank with legs pulling to abs (hard to explain) alternating with 45sec of press-ups
3 x 45sec lunges, jumping up and changing legs alternating with 45sec of arm exercise
3 x 45sec push ups alternating with cycling in the air
normally after this I'm finished and I do a 10min cool-down on the indoor trainer and 5min stretching, but today I did 1min of burpees and 1min of single leg treadmill as well, so I think that was the part that killed my legs :)
