Step - Lift - Walk

I did it today: burned 709 calories. How?

I did my HIIT step routine with the 12 inch box. Stepped up for one minute. Restws for 30 seconds. Total time was 30 minutes. I burned 335 calories. It was the equivalent of walking about 3.19 miles.

Then.

I moved to weights and performed sets of multi-muscle exercises. In between, I stepped up onto the 18 inch box. It will hurt tomorrow. I also tossed in a few abs for a total of 225 calories. Again, 30 minutes.

Then.

I walked. That's right. I hopped on the treadmill and cruised approximately 1.78 miles. I burned 149 calories in 30 minutes. It was a way to stretch my legs, get oxygen pumping to all of those 'gettin' tired' muscles, and let my brain go.

Lots of sweat. It went by rather quickly and didn't feel as if it lasted one and half hours.

Great workout.
