A new love for...

Sprint Biking!

I used to reeeeeally dislike sprint biking, to the point of "I'd rather doing 10 X-drills and 10 death flops!!" level of aversion. But now that I think about it, maybe it's because I only ever sprint biked when I was injured.

Now that I'll probably never feel that kind of rugby pain ever again or be plagued with minor/major injuries and bruises all the time, sprint biking isn't so bad! A casual Friday afternoon made-up-on-the-spot workout:

I'm gonna name it the "Arwen"

Stationary bicycling:
10min casual warmup
8 x 10 sec on 10 sec off
8 x 20 sec on 20 sec off
8 x 30 sec on 30 sec off
HR ~ 174
5min casual cooldown

Core:
10 minute abs + 10 good push ups before each round:
     10 push ups, 60 sec front plank
     10 push ups, 60 sec sit ups
     10 push ups, 60 sec side crunches
     10 push ups, 60 sec side crunches
     10 push ups, 60 sec scissors
     10 push ups, 60 sec bicycles
     10 push ups, 60 sec side plank
     10 push ups, 60 sec side plank
     10 push ups, 60 sec russian twist w med ball
     10 push ups, 60 sec leg lifts

Home:
Chin-up every time I pass through bathroom doorway

  1. "Arwen" love it! Also- I grew to love sprint biking during knee rehab because it's so much more satisfy than endurance biking
