Today was a burpee interval day. Here is a brief rundown of what the exercise looks like:
30 seconds Burpees
30 seconds shadow boxing (power punching)
30 seconds Burpees
30 seconds shadow boxing (power punching)
1 min rest
(Repeated 4 times, totaling 12 minutes).
Using the unscientific method of counting beats while timing for 6 seconds (then multiplying by 10) my heart rate was topped out around 190-200 beats per minute.
I noticed my 3rd "round" of this was the toughest round, where normally that is the 4th/last round for me. Also, my punches dropped considerably in speed/power by the end of the workout (more than normal).
I did manage to push through some right hip pain in the 3rd round and it went away in the 4th round.
All in all, a pretty good workout today. Sweated my butt off.
Note: Will weigh myself whenever I wake up tomorrow. Sundays will be weigh-in day and it will mostly be around the same time.
you should put in some HIIT running and walking. you'll lose weight faster. I don't really know what you're trying to do with the punching though.
