4.13

Another day at home. Can't say I'm complaining today. I plan on watching Hunger Games at 11:55 (by myself). My sister keeps telling me that I remind her of Katniss, a big compliment if you ask me. I'm going to check it out to see whether that's true.

I've found out that HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is the most effective workout for me. It is doubly awesome because it can involve both strength-training and cardio, so you knock out two birds with one stone, and the longest session is like 20 minutes long. I usually do a HIIT workout and a strength-training sesh. Sometimes I do two HIITs all under an hour. I've seen the most results from starting HIITs...way more than p90x. I swear, p90x should only advertise to men. Women NEED more cardio.

Here are most recent of my progress:

I'm really proud of my legs. My arse can still use some help. I don't know if it'll ever get to how I want it. Stupid being Asian. 

Okay. I'm going to get ready for my Hunger Games. Woot woot.

**Edit. I decided to stop talking about my SD stories on here. After thinking about it, maybe it is something I should not be broadcasting to the world...especially for the privacy of potential SDs. But if something absolutely hilarious, marvelous, crazy happens, I'll write about it.

Oh...and if I do disappear, then the site is seeking arrangements. Just in case. Hahaha. No, it's a pretty legit site.

    Your body is sick! I'm so jealous. What is high interval training? Is that what Insanity is?

    Thanks dude. HIIT, according to Wikipedia is: an enhanced form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 9–20 minutes. These short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved glucose metabolism, and improved fat burning.

    In short, they say it's the most effective...more effective than a steady 45 minute cardio session on an elliptical. I'm not entirely sure about the science behind it but I believe it because it worked on me...though I'm sure a lot of it is my diet. I try to eat healthy (and often) and I only drink water. They say that your physique is like 80% diet. I don't know if it's THAT much but it definitely plays a role.

    Yeah... I think Insanity is HIIT....cuz it sure is effing hardcore!
