Well, when I got to the gym I so wanted to try out my new trainers on the treadmill but decided to give my feet another day to recover.
I chose, instead, to try Cardio Coach 3 on the stationary bike. I've worked out why people seem to prefer these to some of the iTRAINS - they are easier! Having 3 minutes of recovery was so luxurious today!
The workout consists of three "challenges" with steady state recoveries in between. Instead of the 10 level scale on iCYCLE, there are 4 levels base on % of max heartrate. 1st challenge is a series of 6 sprints, 2nd challenge is a hill, 3rd challenge is a set of 4 intense 10 second sprints. I was expecting a fourth like there is CC 6 with Candace!
The style is much less personal than iTRAIN - Grace and Keith have a laugh and don't feel as computerised as the CC instructors. I preferred the workout with Candace - particuarly the "10..9.8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1" countdowns to the challenges!
This workout left me feeling very energised and ready to tackle my housework this evening!
