I've been doing a little research on exercise and weight loss. What I'm doing is good but not the best. Running the same pace, the same distance is okay but could be better. I've found something called HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training. If you google it you will find a lot of information about it. I liked this article, HIIT I'm still reading and gathering (It's later in the day - I really found this article informative). Trying to boost what I'm doing.

Today I tried interval training. This is not the first time that I've done this. It is almost what I did over the summer in speed training. This was a longer overall period of time, with more intervals that speed training. I warmed up for 5 minutes, then ran at 6.0 mph for 1 minute, then 5.3 to 5.5 mph for 2 minutes. I did this 8 times then cooled down for 5 minutes. Total - about 30 minutes. I think that for the 2 minutes I went too slow, my Garmin is not very accurate inside. I felt good about the faster times. Could I have gone faster? Sure. This being the first time to do this I held back a little not knowing if I would make it through. I did. It wasn't bad. Next time I will leave it all there - running my fastest so my body can burn some fat.

Last night I also ordered a new workout dvd. I'm very excited to have a new face in the line up. The trainer is Jackie Warner - the title is Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training. I'm really excited to try it. Have a great day!
