Work it.

Today is the start of week two of my plan! My new goal is to work out 4 times a week. I have a wedding at the beginning of Sept and I'm trying my hardest to do as much damage to my newest addition of fat as I can. Last week I worked out 4 days, 3 at home, and one at the gym. I missed out on thursday because I was crossing the Atlantic and slept most of the day damn jet lag).

So today's workout was a good one. 

Warm Up: 5 min jog

Stretch

10 push ups
15 deadlifts with 20kg barbell
25 boxjumps
50 assisted pull-ups, weight at 55kg
100 squats
200 mountain climbers
400m row.

This took about 30 mins

To finish I did:
2 sets of 5 20 sec hill sprints.
I was at incline of 10 and speed of 10-11kpm. 
20 secs sprint, 20 sec rest with a minute in between the sets.

I was kind of disappointed with my endurance. This is the first time I've done hill sprints in months and I am amazed how quickly my endurance has decreased. I used to be able to do 3 sets, and incline 11 or 12 and at speed 12kph. I'm looking forward to getting back to that level. It just showed me how much an impact not working out regularly can have on the body. 

I finished with a cool down 5 min walk and some stretching.
