Break Off!!!

Today we had our Saturday HITFIT session where we completed the workout from 16 May.  Let me start by saying when we created this workout we knew it was going to be a break off, but we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into!!  As most of you know HITFIT was founded on the principles of keeping workouts 20 minutes or less and keeping your heart rate above 85% of it maximum at all times.  Needless to say when we create our workouts we take this into consideration and then test them ourselves.  Well today we learned first hand that this workout was a little harder than we initially thought!

I personally was only able to complete three rounds of the daily challenge in the 20 minute mark (actually 24:30 to be exact).  My partner in crime finished three rounds in 25:00.  After the workout we took a break stretched out and started debreifing the workout.  While we were unable to complete all four rounds in 20 minutes we decided this situation actually matched our slogan "Strive for progress, not perfection".  We have made it our personal mission to complete this workout in the time alloted.  In a few weeks we will be doing this one again with a vengence. 

Moral to the story is we realize not everyone including ourselves sometimes can complete the workouts that are posted with the pre-determined reps and weights.  So please take it upon yourself to adjust the workouts accordingly to what best suits you and "strive for progression". 

If anyone decides they would like to come out and participate in a Saturday's workout please let us know and all are welcome.  It doesn't cost you a thing except for a little blood, sweat, and tears.  You can leave us a comment on here or call me at 740-352-5639.
