Interval Training Workout

 

Today’s workout was only 15 minutes long and was divided into 3 parts. The first 2 parts were interval training, and the last part I did for time. I picked challenging exercises since the intervals were fairly short. It’s my first workout of this week and I like to start my week with a quick but intense interval training session. After this routine I also did an additional 15 minutes of moderate jump rope skipping – free style

I am stepping up my workouts to 4-5 times a week, because for the last 4 month’s or so I’ve only been training 3 days a week. My goal is to gain a bit more muscle over the next 3 month. If you like you can take that challenge on with me.

As far as strength goes, I tested my self the other day and I can still do 10 solid pull-ups ( regular pull-ups ), and 40 regular push-ups in the row, so for the next 3 month my goals are mainly muscle gain.

All of the workouts that I do, always focused on gaining muscle, loosing fat, increasing endurance and strength all at the same time. Even though I am not using heavy weights, but I can assure you, that you don’t need to lift super heavy weights to gain muscle, just a little resistance will do the trick

incorporated into plyometrics will do the trick
