Volume Training
This past weekend my Buffy @grraceface put me through squats volume training. That was on Saturday, today is Monday evening and my legs are still sorely sore.
With 75 lbs I did 10 set of 10 reps, with 90 seconds of rest between each set.
10x10 = 100 squats!
Usually with squats you're supposed to do the hip thrust once you're up, but with the volume training she told me to go deep down into the squats and just come back up then squat.. til yo set is done. I noticed the first 4 sets were ok/do-able but once I got to sets 5-7 I was faltering. I think the 8th set was the hardest for me, but I told myself just 2 more sets and 9th and 10th were done with more ease. Interesting how our bodies and minds tie in mentally and physically so well.
Ok so this is my song of the day for Monday! Britney Spears - Work B**ch!
You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? yes
You want a Maserati? You better work bitch yes
You want a Lamborghini? Sippin' martinis? yes
Look hot in a bikini? You better work bitch yess, ok!

I saw this picture while scrolling on ig and it was the boost I needed to go jump rope for 30 mins. I've decided I do like fasted cardio!
I read this fat-burning article by fitmole and it made a lot of sense to me. I've also researched a bit on morning fasted cardio and listened to fellow friends who have done it too. Therefore I've decided to try, since it tied in well with the intermittent fasting I briefly tested.
Of course I wouldn't skip breakfast if there's an exam or something important to do (for example a high-stress job or a meeting) that day, but say on the weekends or off/rest days I think fasted cardio may go a long way.
Right when we wake up we should naturally be more energetic and alert. I think using that energy and can-do attitude in the morning for workouts really just sets the success rate of that day to a higher pedestal. Endorphins and you cross off something awesome off your to-do list first thing in the morning!
So.. I'm kind of being an overachiever in the fitness aspect of my life (I also really want abs by summer) and decided mornings are for fasted cardio and on certain days I would also be doing weights.
