THIS IS SO LOVELY 

[fittmouse]

Sorry I haven't been online much lately. My boyfriend of 3 years and I have recently broken up, and being on my computer and seeing reminders have just been so hard. Please have patience with me, I'll be back once I feel right again, I'm just learning how to let go and need time.

Because I’m addicted to the feeling when I do something I couldn’t yesterday.

Here she is, my teal, gorgeous, lululemon "The Mat" mat. I love it already, I did a warrior sequence on it and the grip on it makes things so much simpler! Can't wait to do a full flow on it tomorrow :D

[fittmouse]

Hey! I was looking through the people on that promo and I realised you're the other engineer! Your page is super motivating. Can I ask what year of study you're in? Good luck and work heard! (My fitblr is liftdead this is my main oops)

Thank you so much! Yes, engineering all the way, I’m going into my sophomore year :D

'Carbs will make me…'

'EGGS AREN'T GOOD FOR…'

'Why are you eating that? I thought you were on a di-..'

'I heard if you eat late at night you get fat'

'Women who lift will get bulky like men'

When people tell me I shouldn't eat lots of eggs... I lose my SHIT.

What It Is and How It Works

HIIT is a specialized form of interval training that involves short intervals of maximum intensity exercise separated by longer intervals of low to moderate intensity exercise. Because it involves briefly pushing yourself beyond the upper end of your aerobic exercise zone, it offers you several advantages that traditional steady-state exercise (where you keep your heart rate within your aerobic zone) can’t provide:

HIIT trains and conditions both your anaerobic and aerobic energy systems. You train your anaerobic system with brief, all-out efforts, like when you have to push to make it up a hill, sprint the last few hundred yards of a distance race, or run and hide from your spouse when they won’t stop nagging you about the dishes.

HIIT increases the amount of calories you burn during your exercise session and afterward because it increases the length of time it takes your body to recover from each exercise session.

HIIT causes metabolic adaptations that enable you to use more fat as fuel under a variety of conditions. This will improve your athletic endurance as well as your fat-burning potential.

HIIT appears to limit muscle loss that can occur with weight loss, in comparison to traditional steady-state cardio exercise of longer duration.

To get the benefits HIIT, you need to push yourself past the upper end of your aerobic zone and allow your body to replenish your anaerobic energy system during the recovery intervals. -Sparkpeople
