Challenge #7
I did Challenge #6 today and it was awesome. My arms were burning, my heart was pumping, and I was sweating! Did you have the same experience? I always keep my workouts intense…no matter what it is I’m doing. When you hit the gym, hit it hard. You really will only get out of what you put in. Always keep your goals in mind!!
The Challenge for today is to rest your arms and hit the intervals hard. We will be doing one workout over the weekend along with a day of rest. I have a feeling everyone is feeling the intensity so let’s raise those heart rates a little. Beginners do workout A and the more advanced do workout B. If you need a reminder on how intervals work, read this: http://stricklandfitness.com/2008/12/15/interval-training/. Go for it!!! Once you have done your intervals, put a check mark in the box for Oct. 9th. Great job!
Workout A:
10 minutes warm up
20-30 minutes intervals with your low heart rate being 50% of your max and your high heart rate being 80%
10 minutes cool down
Workout B:
10 minutes warm up
20-30 minutes intervals with your low heart rate being 60% of your max and your high heart rate being 85%
10 minutes cool down

during intervals is it best to walk fast or jog to lower heart rate. I’ve found if i walk fast my heart rate comes down quicker allowing me to do more sprints in the 30 mins. Thanks for answering my questions

Walking fast is fine. What you will find is the longer you go, the faster your heart rate will come down. You should also be concentrating on your heart rate coming dowm. Studies have shown that focusing on it coming down will actually speed up the process.
