After the success of my firstsprint hill interval training session on Tuesday evening, I decided to go for another session today. My aim was to do about twenty minutes again, similar to Tuesday, but this time I opted to do the session on the flat instead of up a hill!
Where I live, down on the Somerset levels is fairly flat, and there is a long farmers track which is pretty much one mile in lenght. I figured this would be an ideal place to do an interval session along, two miles (there and back) of short 10-15 second sprints intersperced with a jog to enable me to get my breath back and allow my heart rate to recover.
The first mile, I was fine, I did 10 second sprints followed by 60 second j

After your doctor gives you the go-ahead to exercise, try this visualization exercise called “Belly Lacing”: Imagine that you have a ribbon woven in and around your ribcage. Close your eyes and imagine pulling on the ends of the ribbon to compress the entire area so that your ribcage narrows. Hold the tightened torso for as long as you comfortably can while you breathe normally. Then relax and repeat.

My second bicep and tricep workout in my new gym was also my last workout of my current training period. I’ve split my training up into eight week periods, during which I supplement withcreatine monohydrate, followed by one week where I don’t do any weight training and I come “off” creatine. So next week will be a week off from weights, though I will continue to do some CV work, no doubt mainly interval training.

Did a quick warmup set ofbarbell curlsusing the 25kg barbell, then went into my working sets, my aim was to do three sets of 9 reps, thus increasing slightly on last week’s working sets.

I know it's been a long time since you've run at full speed, probably since you were a kid, and while you'll definitely need to ease into it, I promise it's just as exhilarating as an adult to do a few all-out sprints!
Interestingly in the area of cardio exercise, studies have shown that high intensity interval workouts really help in burning fat, while also increasing flexibility, cardiovascular health, and mus
