Optimum Anabolics - Day 13

WORKOUT - CARDIO (HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING)

My lungs felt remarkably better today than last week. I think the light cardio right after my weight workouts helped this week.

Here was today's intervals:
  • Bike, Intensity 1 (warm up), 5:00
  • Jump Rope, Intensity 2, 3:45 ± (about 300 revolutions)
  • Jog, Intensity 2, 5:45 ±
  • Sprint (all out!), Intensity 3, 30 seconds
  • Jog, Intensity 2, 4:30
  • Bike, Intensity 2, 2:00 ±
  • Jump Rope, Intensity 2, 3:30 ± (300 revolutions...faster this time!)
  • Sprint, Intensity 3, 30 seconds
  • Jog/Walk (cool down), Intensity 1, 5:00
Total Time => 32:37

Comments:

Shoulders and chest feeling a little tight today.

Legs and booty still a little sore.

Abs were finally calmed down.

Good timing on the intervals this week.

DIET - HIGH PROTEIN

Breakfast was a beast of an omelet consisting of one egg, two egg whites, fresh salsa, homemade Italian sausage (recipe here), green and red peppers, and raw milk cheddar cheese. I topped it with a few shakes of the Louisiana hot sauce, too, of course.

Mid-morning snack was a 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1 T of ground flax seeds, and 1/3 scoop plain whey protein isolate powder.

Lunch was homemade tuna salad wrapped in a collard green leaf "bread". Along side the tuna was another blended zuke salad. I'm addicted!

Mid-afternoon snack was 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and about 4 tsp of ground flax seed.

For dinner, I stir-fried up some chicken, broccoli, onion, lima beans, and mixed veggies in a sauce of coconut oil, garlic, hot mustard, and Bragg's liquid aminos.

Tomorrow morning brings a repeat of today's cardio workout then it's back to the weights on Day 15. I'll be ready for the iron again by then but the Week 3 workouts get way intense. Stay tuned!
