Basically, Fitmass is a 12-week program with different challenges each week. The first week of Fitmas was the Shredmill Challenge. It was designed to be a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout, with different sprint intervals on the treadmill.

I decided to try the workout, but to modify it a bit to be just IT (Interval Training). Instead of sprints, I did a very fast-paced walk for each of the intervals. The problem was, because I was only walking (albeit very quickly), I didn't need that long of a recovery time.
The lesson here? Modifying workouts does not achieve the goal of the workout. I kinda feel like I failed Week 1 already, but I'm excited to see what Week 2 brings.
Are you doing the Fitmas Challenge too? If you're interested in trying it, contact Donloree to get signed up!
Kari!! You didn't fail at all! You still did it, great job! Can't wait to see what else Fitmas has in store for us ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's not failure at all! Look at all the stuff you learned and you pushed yourself. WIN!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the girls above! It's important to modify workouts to suit you! You did what felt right and you still got in a good sweat session :)
ReplyDeleteI walk on HIITs also, but more because I haven't become a good runner yet. So that is not a fail! Its all improvement if you work at it! :)
