27th March

A shoulders and triceps session today, same as I've listed previously. I'm gonna say a bit more about the cardio  training I'm doing now though.

Cardio (done at the end of the session)

10 mins on rowing machine
3 min warm up
10 seconds fast
50 seconds
repeat till 8 mins
2 minute steady to finish

This kind of training is know as high intensity cardio training. The idea of it is to elevate your heart rate loads during the sprint part of the workout, then let it drop again before the next sprint. As your pushing your body so much, you elevate your metabolism for the rest of the day as your body tries to compensate for the exercise you do. The time the training is done for is much shorter than normal cardio as your intensity is much higher. I'm only going for 10 mins at the moment as I've just started again, but I will be aiming to keep going for 20 mins in the next few weeks.
