VIDEO: Paleo and HIIT

I'll start out with my recent HIIT workout video. This was my second HIIT of the week and the first time in 371 days that I did HIIT workouts! Yes, 371 days with HIIT workouts, much of that time was spent recovering from shoulder surgery, the rest was spent on mountain biking, trail running and some strength training...I put this video together mainly to document my (re)beginning, gauge where I am and hold myself accountable.

On top of HIIT I am going to start eating Paleo (for Athletes and Real Life) - meaning Paleo with the right carbs centered around workouts and some concessions for living a rich love of the food I love. Last night my paleo dinner was grilled chicken breast (seasoned with lemon, basil, garlic salt and pepper) and large serving of roasted zucchini (olive oil, rosemary and garlic salt).

A few words about HIIT. I love HIIT. It's great for shedding fat and getting into very good practical fit shape. I won't do HIIT exclusively, I'll do some pure strength work, CrossFit and of course endurance events (MTB rides, runs, road rides and races).

Monday night's HIIT consisted of 10 sets - tire slips and sledge hammer strikes, within the workout I completed 69 tire flips and countless (200?) hammer strikes.
