I just did workout the energy system day 1 workout and it boy was it sweaty! I am now recovering with a G Series FIT Recover protein smoothie, Strawberry Banana flavor. However, I used it on my forehead for about 10 minutes before drinking it. I’m usually not a fan of pre-made protein shakes but these are delicious! They have 120 calories, 12 g of whey protein and 14 g of carbs from fruit. Both of which are important to have post intense workout.
It was challenging but not impossible at all like I had feared. Thank goodness for my Polar Heart Rate Monitor. During the work I burned about 400 calories. Fifteen minutes later, I burned another 100. Gotta love the after burn of high intensity intervals.
You need at least a stop watch or gymbosss but if you don’t have a heart rate monitor here are the basics of the workout.
- 5 minutes: Warm Up
- 1 minute: SPRINT
- 4 minutes: Run regular pace
- 3 minutes: Slow Jog
- Repeat 1-4-3 interval sequence 4 times.
