Example Adding An Exercise
Yesterday, we incorporated a modified HIIT program into our afternoon and successfully completed an hour afternoon session in addition to our normal low intensity workout routine with the destabiliser. We will continue this program and see if it works as an afternoon exercise program for the next thirty days of a wellness detox.
By reviewing our day at the end of the day, we were able to decide what we wanted to incorporate into our next day - this easy no stress modified HIIT workout worked out for everyone who participated.
Modified HIIT Program
Here is the modified HIIT routine we tested yesteday.
We purchased and are using a manual treadmill. the treadmill costs under £200 new.
The modified HIIT program is for one to two hours and incorporates a two minute walk and a minute rest between walks. The goal is not to be running for an hour but to be staggering moderate intensity walking for two hours. The program we are following is designed for a work environment and to avoid sweating while burning more than NEAT calories.
The manual treadmill we purchased is self-powered and looks like a regular light treadmill. Because it does not use electricity, you have to walk with purpose and hold on to the side supports for safety. If you decide to increase your pace, you will go faster.
There are no computer programs like the treadmill at the gym, but we used our phones and did not have a problem keeping track of time. We found the two minutes of each walk too short and it was a surprise that an hour passed by doing this workout.
The workout did increase our heart rate but only to a moderate level with no sweating in a cool room. The overall feeling at the end of the modified HIIT workout was that we worked out but did not need to take a nap and this morning we felt fine and started our low intensity workout without a problem.
Our Opinion
The mid intensity test yesterday was a success and for the afternoon it is an excellent way to get a bit of work done in combination with a calorie burn above NEAT.
Our wellness Cue for this routine is returning to our House but You could use it at work if you have a standing desk. (Two minutes walking at a moderate pace above strolling focused on walking. One minute of a work activity standing.)
