[quote="alex"]Thanks for all the replies, seems like a lot of people really work hard to take care of themselves, and that's awesome. As the weather gets better I'll incorporate some walking as well. I just graduated from long slow cardio on my recumbant bike to a crazy 20 minute HIIT program (high intensity interval training) It's 20 minutes, and when I finished I was so drenched and cramped up that I had to stand outside for another 10 minutes, hence the cold I'm now dealing with. This program changes every minute for the full 20. I'm at level 3,4,5,6,3 for the first 10 minutes. Then 4,5,6,7,4 then 5,6,7,8,3 for the last five. I'm cramping just thinking about it[/quote]
Alex do be careful or you'll do yourself a mischief!
Honestly watch out and look after yourself or you'll tear something that matters and be unable to exercise for ages and back to square one. Walk around a bit and don't forget your stretches before and after the mad stuff.
Have fun and don't torture yourself! X
