HEALTHY LIVING: my 50-minute workout

It’s been a while since I last shared some of my workouts with you, so I wanted to give you a little update. Recently I’ve been running about 5-7km twice per week and have tried to hit the gym 1-2 times per week. Today was super rainy, so I decided to do a bit of interval training on the treadmill and work on my arms and abs. Personally, I feel that I can see the quickest results by combining high intensity interval training with weight training and some low intensity cardio training throughout the week. Here is what today’s 50-minute workout looked like:

– 25 minutes of interval training (treadmill)
– 4 arm exercises with 5kg weights, 2 sets each of 12-15 reps (seen HERE)
–  hamstring curls (seen HERE), 3 sets of 15-20 reps
– 15 min. ab exercises on the mat (leg lifts, side crunches, …)
– plank (seen HERE), 2 sets à 1:30 min. or 2:15 min. in one go
– 5 min. stretching on the mat

Wondering what 25-minute interval training looks like? This is the exact combination I went through today:

– 5 min. warm-up at 8km/h

– 1 min. sprinting at 12km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h
– 1 min. sprinting at 12km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h

– 1 min. sprinting at 13km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h
– 1 min. sprinting at 13km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h

– 1 min. sprinting at 14km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h
– 1 min. sprinting at 14km/h
– 90 seconds jogging at 8.5km/h

– 5 min. cool-down walk at 5km/h
