Time to up my cardio game I thought to myself this morning. I've been sticking to the weights sessions of my bombshell programme and ignoring the cardio element. But after a scolding email from my trainer I got a much needed kick up the arse.
Ladies and gentlemen.... the cybex arc!
The most amazing piece of cardio equipment I have ever encountered. My regular gym don't have one, and told me to bugger off when I emailed requesting they buy one, so I went in search and eventually found it in the Scotman gym and signed up on the spot. It's lush!
I did 6 x 10 minute intervals - 5 minutes on the arc, 5 minutes on the treadmill. Instead of having a rest interval, the intensity increased each minute in the block until peaking at a 2 minute insane interval. An hour on this bad boy left me wobbly and cursing. I actually mouthed "fight for it, fight for it" as I held in the vomit that was creeping up on me. Sore sore sore....the burn in my booty was awesome!
My trainer kept telling me over and over again that the elliptical was not an adequate substitute for this machine and I was kinda thinking yeah yeah - I'm converted!
Refuel, potter around the shops, then onto Virgin Active for the first this week's legs session.
Murder on the dancefloor but no pain no gain. Tomorrow is going to be interesting....
Love
