The most basic will be sprint-jog or run-walk routine. Sa threadmill ko yan ginagawa dati. Five minutes warmup at 8kph then 1 minute 10 to 12kp followed by 3 minute 8kph. Mga limang ulit lang kaya ko.

I thought hiit was killing ipis

Seriously, my hiit comprises of stair climbing and farmers walk every other set, HR goes up to 170bpm, sometimes to the point of light headedness.

I just remembered both the bike and elliptical machines in the gym have programmable HIIT presets built-in which include those for weight loss. I haven't used them because I didn't need to lose weight. I've been on maintenance mode for a long time. The last time I used those presets was back in the spring of 2013.

I might give them a try this morning.

Whenever I'm in the country, I bike for at least an hour early in the morning for at least three times a week, moderate to intense. After the bike, I cap it with four routines abdominal exercises: sit-ups, leg raise, ab wheel roll out, and plank.
The bike is the cardio component of my exercises.

I lift weights, using free weights, three to four times a week: squat, incline bench press, curls, triceps extension. Working out not more than three or four muscle groups each time, in three sets of 12, 10, 8 repetitions, but adding more weights each rep, more or less 5 to 10 lbs.

I take two scoops of whey isolate (nitrotech lean musclebuilder) before and two more after work out.

I used to track my calorie intake using myfitnesspal app, but when everything has become routinary, I have come to do away with it and just take note what I eat. My diet consists of: fish, lean meat, chicken breast, lots of hard-boiled eggs but only the whites, vegetables (beans, carrots, broccoli, and the like), fruits, rice (only half cup). No food in between meals, but when I feel starving I gobble cashew nuts. I drink pocari sweat. I take vitamin c 1 gram and Kirkland fish oil everyday.

The key of staying healthy is DISCIPLINE. I don't smoke. I drink but only occasionally, a shot or two of Bacardi.

After a week of uncontrolled beef/pork and chips consumption, my blood pressure is a bit elevated 133/78 (pulse: 57). Can't be helped with the sports on TV (Mexican soccer league and now the Rio Olympics). Oh, a couple of festive PH pot lucks didn't help either. The wife had like filled four styrofoams of leftover meats

I think I've reached my safety point. Time to reel in my diet and once again, eat sensibly. At least my weight remained steady.

It'll be even tougher next month when the NFL season starts.

Did a quickie (35 min) exercise this morning because it'll be a busy day. Ran 3 miles (4.8 km) on the treadmill. That's it. Jogging on the treadmill was tiring enough on its own. He He.

Pre-exercise stuff: Blood pressure = 102/67, pulse 56

I'm on break (from the gym) today. All I did were my 30 push-ups/min and 50 sit-ups/min plus jumping jacks and other military training calisthenics.

I also juggled a soccer ball for a few minutes. I can normally do 500 taps of the ball easily in one sitting. But, it's been a while since I juggled. I was struggling to reach 200. I had to do three sittings to reach 500 taps.

I better not ignore my ball-juggling. It can get rusty too.
