I have to say this is my favorite Christine Salus Hiit workout yet. It's great because there is no need for equipment, just your own bodyweight and what you put into the workout. Did this video right after work and before dinner. Honey can't eat until workout done for the day! So for a couple of days I was a bit out of commission in the working out aspect because while I was doing HIIT Sprints I must've tweeked my knee. X.x google said it's Runner's knee . Whatever it was it really hurt and I could feel my joints grating against each other o_0 grosses me out. So I let that rest and mend itself while I took calcium and glucosamine pills which I believe really helped speed the healing process. However, I also noticed that I really need to be active every day because I get restless, lethargic as well, and kind of low-key depressed. Need my natural endorphins I suppose. I might be able to blame it on TOM and depleted hormones messing with me as well. Hormones yo...

MOODY Mondays It seems like people are grumpier on Mondays? They are probably recovering/withdrawing from the festivities of the weekends and are sad they have to start the weekdays all over again. I notice my tutees are grumpier, stubborn and I also notice drivers are more impatient and irritable it seems on Mondays. so strange.. So.. I'm officially gym-less right now. It feels so weird and bittersweet. I'm not sure what gym I will be going to next since my 2 year 24 hour fitness costco membership has finally terminated. I think it's time for me to check out MMA! But I also love lifting and making sure my muscles don't atrophy. haha I hope I don't lose my butt gains this week since I will mostly be doing cardio and HIIT/ Sprints . Pictures like this definitely motivate me to do sprints over long-distance jogging. Remember FAST twitch muscles, we want to fatigue them :)! Furthermore, since I am no longer lifting (for the next two weeks most likely wh...

Day 13 Oh Wednesday , you hump. So on this day the first thing I did after waking up was to do some fasted  HIIT uphill sprints . I made sure to make Wednesday a successful workout day since I knew later in the evening I would be indulging at a Yelp event o:) Why yes, I am on  Yelp elite!  It's quite awesome although this year I haven't taken advantage of the title. I think I will have to warmup jog before sprints next time. Last time I jogged around the neighborhood while listening to my spotify playlist and that made my circulation get going and my endorphins and enthusiasm at a high. But when I ran full speed right into sprints after waking up from my slumber, I was a bit sluggish. After the sprints, I had breakfast while recuperating then eventually went to the gym to workout my back and Sauna. Back and biceps were thoroughly sore on Thursday! I think my favorite back workout ( well other than deadlifts, but I'm laying off on that since my dislocated rib is both...

Weekends are for indulgences , right? hehh because on Saturday I had carby Chinese food deliciousness for lunch, then late at night hung out with friends and ate a couple Trader Joe's lemon bars & wined on some pink moscato. and then on Sunday, I had Taiwanese breakfast for the first time! My friends ordered in Chinese but I believe we ordered: turnip cake, shredded pork rice roll, scallion pancake, shrimp omelette (it was pretty wet), pig in a steamed bun (pork belly was so soft), and to wash that all down, soymilk. Going on food adventures and having such a satisfying, delicious experience without spending much at all makes me Super happy  I knew once I got home after eating that satiating meal, I'd want to crawl onto my bed and watch Tv while relenting to the food coma.  So I dragged myself to the gym for Day 10   (Sunday) workout: -Did more SQUATS because my glutes were not hurting from Saturday's sesh. Did my damn volume training! -Leg Abd...

Ive realized I never posted a progress pic of what I have accomplished the last few weeks of september and beginning of August. Before OSL/Beginning of August : Workout: Lots of fasted cardio, sauna, and lifting Diet: Mostly keto/low carb diet Mid august (the first 2 weeks of August):  Workout: HIIT sprints and pushups, Cycling 14 miles American river bike trail (Sacramento), PR at deadlifint 225 lbs, plenty of ab wheels Diet: eating late nights, drunk munchies... mostly protein and veggies on weekdays, low carb burgers, carne asada and BBQ, ice creams at night, some beers, some alcohol, pizzas on weekend, and 2x buffet = I ate so well! I guess ab wheels and hiit sprints were my saving grace.. hehe. Totally worth all that food grubbing.
