Training/slacking

My dedication to my own training has been lacking recently, so i decided to get back into things yesterday with an intense interval session focusing on legs and balance on the slackline. After a good warmup, it was straight into intervals of 20 seconds activity followed by 10 secs recovery, for 6 minutes before taking 2 min rest & dynamic flexibility and repeating 6 more times.

The exercises used were:

 - Lunges...

For Reps (up to 10)
Holding lowest position for 20 sec

Holding, with pulses (both legs)

 - Split Squat...

For Reps (up to 10)
Holding lowest position for 20 sec

Holding, with pulses (both legs)

 - Single Leg Squat...

For Reps (up to 10)
Holding lowest position for 20 sec.

The single leg squats were definitely the most challenging element, as i found balance difficult to maintain beyond about 10 seconds, and especially on the left leg. I finished the session with some more dynamic stretching and a good cool-down.

Average heart rate over the training phase of the workout was 140bpm.

By the time i was finished this high intensity workout, my legs were like jelly and I felt ravenous, so it was time for the recovery smoothie.
