H.I.T. Training Session 3: Sunday Update

Today was my third H.I.T. training session. Some notes:

  • I am not pushing to failure enough. In Body By Science, the authors say that pushing to failure can be difficult because instinctively we don't want to do this so it can be hard to overcome and push through. I need to work on that.
  • Halloween was the previous evening so I partied a little and stayed out late. While I didn't eat any candy that probably would have laid me out, I had 2 glasses of wine. I don't often drink, but drinking alcohol seems to have a bad effect on me, similar to sugar, the next day. I was a fatigued this session and struggled with it. My instincts were telling me just go home but I knew I'd feel better after a good hard workout and I kept reminding myself that it wouldn't take long.
  • I did squats and leg press just to experiment and compare. The two exercises feel pretty different. The leg press is a little easier to do. I will switch to one or the other instead of doing both, eventually, but I haven't decided which, yet.
