"I'm too tired to workout" "I just don't have time!" "I don't have the motivation" etc. etc. etc.

But one of my favorites is..."it's too cold outside!"

Well last night I proved them wrong.

I got home from a very long day. I was up at school from 9-6 and in that time wrote a 5 page paper and took 2 tests, as well as sat through FOUR 1.5 hour classes.

When I got home, know what the first thing I did was?

I worked out! I didn't use the excuse of "well I've been at school all day, I'm just too tired"

No, I got off my butt and put 2 layers of clothes on (my family was laughing at how I looked)

Then I warmed up a bit by jumping rope and headed outside to the hill, and had at it.

Ahhh, the joy of sprinting up a hill in 20 degree weather. My lungs were beating hard, my legs were burning, and I even started sweating a little.

And guess what? My metabolism is STILL increased from what I did last night, and will continue to be increased all day.

That's the power of high intensity interval training.

In my next e-mail I want to talk to you about one giant myth of high intensity interval training (especially uphill fitness training - AKA hill sprints) and why it's hindering millions of people from becoming in the best shape of their lives.

Until then, take a minute and check out the absolute BEST book ever written on the topic of hill sprints - www.jeremyreeves.com/Recommends/Hill-Sprints
