Who needs the "E" word?

I do.  I need lots of *whispers* exercise.  Let’s be honest, we all do.

Here’s my thing…I love food.  I love to love food.  I read food blogs in my spare time and dream of dinner while eating lunch.  I’ve always been this way.  Always.  Ask my mom.  Go on.

So, I decided that for me to suddenly change everything about my diet would be radical and make me miserable!  Thus, I came to conclusion that the only way to start getting my fitness on would be to exercise and then s-l-o-w-l-y change my eating habits.  I don’t think I’ll ever give up potatoe salad at 4th of July, but I might forgo it on a Tuesday night, which is what I’m working towards.

Anywho, I decided to make a 6 day workout routine that focuses on certain areas of the body one day at a time.  I do a combo of moves and workouts, depending on the day, but here’s the thing…they’re all HIIT focused.

What the heck is that?  High Intensity Interval Training.

Sounds crazy serious and daunting, right?  It’s not.  I like it because it’s like a mini-series of goals that I can achieve quickly.

Here’s the thing: After two sets, you’re like “oh, I’ve got this”, by the fifth set, you’re like “When will it end?”!  Then you collapse on the floor for 10 seconds before the next set begins.
I do a form of HIIT called Tabata that will kick your butt every time.  You quickly realize how out of shape you are.

Here’s the gist of it:
8 sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off.  They can be repetitions or help positions.  For example, on some routines I work in some yoga and those are held, of course.

Tomorrow I will give you my specific workout schedule as of now.  Excited for the “E” word yet?
