\nKate’s off at work. \u00a0The dogs are quiet and I’m finishing up some work before I work out. \u00a0Just mailed the Sierra Club legcom’s agenda for next week’s meeting. \u00a0Moved Gertie and Kona’s crates up stairs. \u00a0Read a couple of chapters in The Art of Fielding<\/span>. (Bill Schmidt, this novel takes place in a college that reminds me of St. Norberts. \u00a0You might want to take a look. \u00a0Mine is an e-book or I’d lend it to you when I’m done.)<\/p>\n

(This is what I think I look like while I’m doing short burst training.)<\/p>\n

Now I’m drinking my cup of Awake tea, two tea bags worth. \u00a0I read somewhere that caffeine helps workouts and I can report that it’s true. \u00a0I don’t get nearly as exhausted\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(This is what I really look like when I’m done.)<\/p>\n

These workouts are known as short burst training. \u00a0You run or bike or do push-ups, whatever, as hard as you can for 30 seconds or a minute. \u00a0Then, you quit and do resistance work, stretching, balance work until your heart rates drops back to base-line. \u00a0At which point you do another minute at hard as you can. \u00a0You keep this up for four or five short bursts.<\/p>\n

The advantage to it is that in between you get all your resistance work done and, when you’re in peak shape, you can do the whole work out in 30 minutes. \u00a0It takes me 40 + right now, because my heart rate takes longer to drop back down after the third burst. \u00a0But that will change.<\/p>\n
