Strength 20:00 [4]
So, Kristoffer apparently was inspired by my workout video routines that he went and bought this workout system DVD (think p90x but more intense I think) called Insanity. How like him, right? nothing half-assed.
The premise is intense workouts for 3 minutes with short rest between. interval training. To start the schedule, they have you begin with a fit test that you're supposed to do every two weeks to track your progress. The test is 8 types of strength moves that you do for 1min each, counting how many reps you can do in that minute. Sounds like cake, right. It's not. I was dying. K was counting my reps for me, since he was sick and couldn't do it himself. 15seconds is a long time, let along 60 whole seconds!
I forget the names of all the moves, but it involved a long of jumps/squats/pushups/kneelifts. All of which I don't do nearly enough of. I think this will definitely help my running and biking in terms of power and speed. I'm actually looking forward to doing this and seeing what I can get out of it.
