Cardio

I usually don't update when its just one thing but here it is..

Pre-workout; 4 oz baked tilipia, 1 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup cherries

Cycle; 20 min HIIT

Post-workout; 12 oz Gatorade follwed by a shake (1 1/2 cup oats, 1 scoop whey) 15-20mins later.

I REALLY wanted to do a lot more but my time is limited. Getting off late and things just makes it hard. I finished a little after 10pm then went through my pre-workout nutrition (shake/gatorade/ then a meal a little afterwards) and jumped in the shower. I am really growing more and more tired of 2nd (evening) shifts by the day. Will def. be keeping my eyes open now for a day shift job somewhere If I can find one. I like where I work, but this is no longer going to cut it. I'm tired of getting off and trying to cram in a workout and getting to bed in the am, just to get hardly any sleep to repeat. 2nds are just stupid. end /rant. :).

All in the same, I also wanted to write more in this blog. When I do get a day off with some free time, I will be putting up a lot more. Basically, I'm looking to increase my cardio quite a bit and drop a few lbs (but just a few lbs). I'm hoping to get 3-4 HIIT or jog/runs a week in on the stationary cycle atleast. More bagwork, amoung other things. Of course, keeping the muscle endurance high on the list and looking into possibly changing my 8-12 reps for muscle up to 15-20 for endurance for a bit, or cycling back and forth. Anyway, I'm way out of time - peace.

And on one last side note; I want a schwinn Airdyne sooo bad!! My stationary cycle has just about had it haha. Gotta save up the $$ cuz I really want the Airdyne to be the base of my cardio, because with that alone (a cycle like mine counts, just I dont like it as much and the electronics are a pain in the ass on them sometimes) can be great for building and keeping cardio. With that several times a week, you can build upon it with heavy more sport specific workouts and get in great shape with that. and thats the plan :).
