Today I used the spinning bike as my equipment of choice for HIIT. I performed my 20 minutes alternating between 30 second High Intensity and 60 second low intensity intervals. I was still a tad sore from doing the same thing on Tuesday but I made it through. I was flying solo again today as my gym buddy is still home sick but I wasnt going to use that as an excuse to sluff. It helped that I was listening to a Podcast music collection specifically created for high intensity workouts. It really helps me get into the moment especially when listening to the 170bpm tracks.

I finished the workout by doing some plyo jumps with a jump rope. I was suprised how fast and high my heart rate got doing these moves. I think next week I am going to dedicate Tuesday and Thursday to 20 minutes of jump rope to see what kind of workout I get.

After the jump roping, I did some abs, then hit the showers and headed back to work. Overall I was pretty happy with the workout.

After finding how effective jump roping was for my heart rate, I decided to throw a poll out here to see what others would say their favorite cardio workout is. If your favorite isn’t listed, feel free to leave something in the comments.
