Well, I decided to jump on board the TT Bandwagon after reading what Cap and Z had to say about it, and reading about it. My problem, diet aside, is my strong reluctance to do HIIT on a regular basis. Since TT uses HIIT as one of the central parts of the program, and since the weight portion isn't too time-demanding, I know I'll be doing alot of HIIT in the coming months.
It also took me until quite recently to realize that getting in shape is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a marathon that requires a concerted, focused effort to hit the weights, do the cardio, and fix the diet. Do those things on a regular basis for the long term, and the results can (and will) be dramatic.
I'm not sure why it took so long for me to see that. Too many before/after pictures in the magazines, with unrealisticly short time frames ("I lost 28 pounds in 4 weeks!"
).
It's amazing, actually, how much my attitude towards "working out" and "getting in shape" have changed in the last few years. I'm not going to get into it now, but I'm sure I'll be covering most of it throughout this log (see, something to look forward to! [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
As I posted earlier, today is most definitely a rest day. Hockey until midnight, didn't fall asleep until 1:30, up again at 6:30 (with a short break at 4:20 to put my son back to bed). I'm grumpy today.
