Woke up to 13 below outside. I'm hardy but not that hardy. Grabbed my cycling shorts and hit the trainer with Troy Jacobson's Spinerval workout tape, #28. I had tried this one before but didn't have time to really check it out...did half the workout and really liked it!
Started with a 15 min easy spin warmup watching the news. Then, put the Spinerval tape in and the warmup which included three 30 second fast, all-out surges. Easy so far.
Then, it has you do 8 1-min reps at 80 rpms, with 30 second rest between each one, then 12 45-second reps at 90 rpm with 20 seconds rest between each one. I had to stop there because my kids really do need to go to school...
The next set (that I'll do next time) includes 16 30-second reps at some ungodly pace that I don't recall. No wonder they call Troy Jacobson a slavemaster!
I have to say that I felt great after doing only half of this workout. It wasn't that hard, which was surprising. I might be in better shape than I thought! Or, I might be in denial (again).
I really need to lift weights...can't seem to get my lazy butt downstairs to do that but will try again today.
