Off the Couch: Beginning Exercise
Day 030 - Going Uphill
10 minutes walk or jog at level 2 intensity, 5 minutes of uphill at level 3 intensity, 10 minutes of walk or jog at level 2 intensity. Level 3 intensity = 80-90% max. HR
|
TODAY, DO A 5 MINUTE HILL REPEAT SESSION AT LEVEL 3 INTENSITY. Warm up for 10 minutes at a level 2 intensity, then, using a moderately steep hill, walk or jog up the hill for 2 minutes, holding a level 3 intensity, walk back down easily for 1 minute and go back up for 2 minutes at level 3 intensity. Cool down by walking or jogging for 10 minutes at level 2 intensity. Incorporating hills into your workouts are a great way to increase strength and burn calories. Level 3 intensity is a hard effort, your breathing is heavy but regular and conversation is out of the question. This level of intensity is not maximal, though, if you feel lightheaded or dizzy, stop and recover.
