I was not much in the mood for an outdoor workout today due to the heat, so I relaxed majority of the day. The urge to bike was there late evening, but I usually avoid going out late unless it is to grab dinner or a snack.
Conducted a 5 minute HIIT (High-intensity interval training) workout this evening in my toasty living room which felt satisfying being that the exercises were mostly lower body. I love HIIT because its nothing too excruciating on my joints and they are at a reasonable pace.
HIIT
- Low jump jacks
- One leg rope jump
- Cross country run
- Butt kickers
- Twisted mountain climbers
- Rest
- Outer thigh raises
- Swimmer
- Jumping jacks
- Running in place
Bonus
- U Boat – 30 Repetitions
- 30 Push ups
- 25 Alternating toe touches
With it being the 4th of July tomorrow I plan to get the workout in early whether it be running on the trail or cycling downtown Chicago.

the sad reality is I walked outside yesterday. wow it was bad.
I am literally about the hit the road right now. I love the little breeze that is coming through, it is only in the low seventies.
i like to walk in the afternoon (it comes from my years as a school teacher). sadly that is when it is hottest.
Hit twenty miles cycled today. I’d like to go out again later for a run once it cools down. Now its climbing into the nineties, lol. Um, no! I refuse to go out now unless its to get food.
i made 9.4 miles and it was bad! (walking)
I bet. Walking 9 miles seems so long to be out there in the heat. Tomorrow I will be running, but best believe it will be on a shady trail
i adjusted my route to have long stretches of shady. I learned the lesson well many years ago.
2.8 hours probably 50% shade.
lots and lots of water before, and during the walk!
Walking within the skyscrapers are a good move too. Shade, and a good breeze flowing through. If I cannot go back to sleep this morning I’ll probably do something either running or cycling downtown.
we like to ride our tandem bike, but not when it is this hot!
Happy 4th of July before I forget. Eating anything good today?
Happy 4th to you as well. it is date night so i have no idea what is planned for dinner.
It would be cool to eat at a fancy burger restaurant. If I can find any open I’d be up to ride the train downtown to pamper myself. Covid-19 can go to hell because it would have been nice to have sports.
i would rather we were safe, but I do miss sports. A beer, some peanuts and a cubs game is the best
Yuck! I was all for it until you mentioned sCrUBS.
coming from an Illini fan, i find only sympathy for you in those words.
How sweet would it be if our summers were only 70ﾟ temperatures ♡
that would be an awesome temp!!!!!
