Workout Journal Notes

With it being “Very Low Load” week in “Maximum Strength,” I decided to keep things light and do some low-intensity cardio.

I hadn’t done any in a long time, especially since it seems to get bashed so much in the health world, but it’s yet another experiment that I plan on trying out.

Now that I’m honing in on my diet more than ever, I’m thinking I won’t need two really intense cardio sessions per week.

My only reason for trying this out is the fact that I lost 2 pounds last week.

Even though those were presumably mostly fat pounds, I still can’t let go of my desire to be 200 pounds while maintaining a low body fat percentage.

I’ll still be doing speed camp on Saturday, and of course if I start to pack on pounds, then I’ll reintroduce the second HIIT session.

I couldn’t believe I went over 7 miles either, since I never even came close to breaking a sweat.

Sure, it didn’t hurt that I was only pedaling at 70 rotations per minute on the lowest resistance level, but 7 miles still seems like a lot!
