M4:D20 (D320) Cardeeoh!

What's on my mind today?
The DOMs from my workout has really set in. The simplicity of that workout makes it so extremely powerful. It is something that I can't really describe, but I can tell you that I got my butt kicked by that workout.

There is just something about taking on a full body workout with that intensity that pumps me up. I felt like I was taking no prisoners. I was pushing hard and keeping the rest periods to a minimum. The idea was to rest only as much as needed to give it my all on the next exercise. This resulted in some amazing feelings during the workout.

I am really enjoying using the Quad Blaster as part of my normal workout routine. I have also been incorporating the Ab Mat in my routine. The Ab Mat is every bit as simple as the Quad Blaster and just as effective at what it does. I can really isolate my abdominals using this mat. It is exciting to think that I can be getting similar results on my abs as I have with my quads thanks to a simple device like this.

Today was a cardio only day. I was able to get in an interval session. I got my heart rate up to 145 BPM and held it for 2 minutes. I then allowed myself to recover down to 105 BPM and just repeated the cycle over and over. It was an intense workout as usual.

I want you all thinking about something as we head towards tomorrow and my next entry. When you workout do you push yourself to the limit? Do your cardio sessions really dig down to the core of your existence? Are you leaving everything out on the gym floor? Do you know when there's still something left in the tank and so you pull out all the stop stops and get it all out? I will be discussing these issues in tomorrow's entry.

As mentioned, today was just a cardio session. I managed to do my normal intervals. These are aimed at getting my fat burning zone to be at a higher heart rate level. So far it is a good workout.
