juju Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Would you consider this a HIT workout: Deck of cards (Aces=14 reps, kings=13 etc) AFAP. Jokers were bonus mt climbers. 4 leg exercises: - TRX pistol squats ( whatever the card # that # of reps is done for each leg) - 70lb sand bag lunges ( " ") - Jump Knee tucks - Jump squats Took about 43 minutes to blow through the deck. In working this workout into my weekly lifting routine should I file this under HIT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Claydon Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would consider this more endurance workout even though its a popular crossfit workout...anything over 20 minutes starts to dip into the endurance category...its just impossible to maintain high intensity for that long Another good way to decide if something was HIT or not is consider the pace you were at. If you are able to talk, carry on a conversation, form sentences during your workout than its probably not HIT. High intensity is indicated by heavy breathing, it simply won't want to waste breath on words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke91 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Agree with Megan, some portions of this may have been performed at high intensity, but the volume of work is too large to maintain this intensity. Think of HIT as going 'all out'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
