Nope, no case of the Mondays here...

So I am a very lucky person, I actually work virtually full time. What this means is that I rarely ever have to go into the office. So my schedule is quite flexible for food and workouts. Today however I have to go in for my mid-year performance evaluation (I am amazing, what else do they really need to know?).

So I made sure to get up early (5:30) this morning to get in a quick work out. I've been mixing up my shiz for the last month or so because I was in a horrible plateau so I've been doing Gina's Summer Shape-up workouts. Mondays are always just cardio. Today I mixed it up with a little HIIT training. My hamstring has been a major biotch since last week and I took it easy over the weekend. It felt better today but not perfect. So I made sure to spend about 15 minutes stretching out AFTER my workout this morning. Here is how my HIIT looked:

0:00 - 5:00 - Warmup. 6.5mph
5:00 - 6:00 - 5.5mph
6:00 - 7:00 - 8.0mph
7:00 - 8:00 - 5.5mph
8:00 -9:00 - 8.0 mph

10:00 - 11:00 - 8.0mph
11:00 - 12:00 - 5.5mph
12:00 - 13:00 - 8.0mph
13:00 - 14:00 - 5.0mph
14:00 - 14:45 - 9.0mph
14:45 - 15:45 - 5.0mph
15:45 - 16:30 - 9,0mph
16:30 - 17:30 - 5.0mph
17:30 - 18:15 - 9.0mph
18:15 - 19:15 - 5.0mph
19:15 - 20:00 - 9.0mph

23:00 - 24:00 - 5.0mph
24:00 - 24:30 - 10mph
24:30 - 25:30 - 5.0mph
