So, today was supposed to be a HIIT day, normally I do 20 minutes. And the 4 minutes just didn't feel like enough, so I just did another 4 minutes. Taking another crack at it, I guess. I did squats with dumbbells at my sides (no thrusters since my triceps were sore). 10 lb dumbbells, and averaging 14 reps per 20 secs this time. I definitely felt this one more. My head felt like it was going explode actually, and I was sweating hard & losing leg strength toward the end, unlike this morning. I've recovered quickly though. Still more of a baseline thing, I think.

Actually, this is highlights one of the reasons I've been toying with getting a trainer once in a while. I'm not sure I can push myself hard enough. I think I might do better with someone yelling out "faster, faster".
