  • What kind of equipment were you working out on? If it is a cross country ski machine? If so, what model was it? Thanks!

  • @mommyideas This is a ski machine. "SlimLine Power Strider". It's actually my third ski machine (I wore out the other two)...they were different brands but I still like the workout I get from them...I tried the "Nordic Track" but never liked that one.

  • is Peak like HIIT? I'm reallly looking into do this. I have been just jogging 30-40 minutes but have heard interval training is best for burning fat.

  • @thintopia I would say that it is a form of HIIT. I think that someone comes up with a new version and calls it their own idea. This one is called "Peak 8" because your heartrate peaks 8 times. I usually still have a lot of energy when I am done so I could probably do it more than 8 rounds. I like it because it is short and sweet and your done (I like to do it after training with weights).

  • @cotaman08 Covert Bailey, on his PBS-TV Special "Fit or Fat" called these WInd Sprints a few years ago. He said he first trained like this back in high school for his track team. He said the body thinks you are going to keep running at full speed, so it makes more Mitochrondia in the cells & increases the cell's ability to burn fat.

  • @Jibbie49 very interesting..I did not know that!

  • Well done Tom I've been super lazy this past month - it gets dark here so early now that it feels like midnight when I get home from work - agh I'm looking forward to ngu challenge in jan fingers crossed

  • @queenie1972 It does get dark early..we need the sun for energy! I don't know what Jay has in store for January, but I have a feeling it will be a doozy.

  • YEAH MAN LETS SUCK IT UP!

  • @JestingJill You'd be proud of me if you saw all the fresh baked goods I passed up today..I am really sucking it up!

  • Wow! Now, there's a face I haven't seen in AGES! It's good to see you working out AGAIN! It's good to see you back for more :-)

  • @Iloveinsegnamento Yea, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I have my off times, but I'm a glutton for punishment--I always come back for more ; )

  • Nice work out. I am glad you are back! Intervals rules and so do you=)

  • @lizard26 Thanks..I think Interval training is the way to go :)

  • how long do you think it takes for you get the sugar out of your system, before the next round of treats..??LOL You know enough about your body now, that you show confidence that as long as you stay active, you will never go up in weigh for very long. You look great, don't see any signs of sugar disease!

  • @Bonnie90505 It just feels right to stay totally away from sugar.

    It seems like my body tries to go to a certain wt...for a long time it tried to stay at 222, then it was 218...now it returned to 214...I'm headed in the right direction..slow but sure :)

  • I think it's awesome...as long as it motivates you and help you stay on track...wooot!

  • @msixpackabs I get motivated by anything Different...If I do it for too long, I get bored with it and need to switch it up again.

  • Excellent vid, man! I have an elipital I can used soon as the training room is done. I have actually only done interval training in spinning. Good stuff, tough, but good. I loved how you had the waterbottles lined up =D

  • @phatmanwalkin Thanks, rob..the first couple of rounds are tough just until you get loosened up but after that it's smooth sailing...sort of ;)

    I always start my workouts (especially cardio) with at least 3 bottles of water handy :)

  • Wow this looks like something I should try. I'm gonna google it. Thanks for sharing and welcome back cutie pie!

  • @anitdnahS It's great...I got it from Dr. Mercola's site...I posted a YT link in the description box to get a better explanation of it. Thanks :)

  • Good to see you back. Peak 8 workout...never heard of something like that. Thanks for sharing. I should try something like that with punches or something. Have a great one!

  • @dottiemay71 Peak 8 is just another name for Interval training..you go 8 rounds and your heart rate will "Peak 8" times.

  • tabata is NO JOKE. no matter what you doing on, treadmill, eleptical, punching bag. anyone that hasn't tried tabata protocol, give it a shot. Honestly, i haven't tabata in so long becuase it is intemidating. Good job

  • @largetree I think tabata is great; I hope to keep it in my routine now. The good thing is when I get bored of the ski machine, there ARE other options. Right now, the basement is still wet from flood this week so I'm cramped into a small room for now.

  • aaahh tabata sweaty face workout. you win again my friend. u rock. its nice to see ya. waves~~~

  • @crosspecans Thanks..I was burnt out for awhile but now I'm recharged and ready to go :)

  • Awesome, good to see ur still busting yo ass. Good to see ur back, now we jus gotta get Jay and Lee back

  • @souljagurlsha Yea, was being a slug there for awhile, but I'm back...I always come back ;)

    Jay is sorta back, Lee has other priorities right now, but I think once he's settled there, he will be back with a vengence.

  • @cotaman08 I'm back just haven't made any videos yet lol. I'm back to working out and eating right though. Good work on this.. way to push yourself.

  • @cashpath I knew you were back and was pretty sure you were still sticking with, but not 100% sure, so I'm glad you cleared it up ;)

    I wanted to do burpees, but the since the basement got flooded, theres not much room upstairs just yet.

    Was contemplating posting this as a video response to Jill's video that you hijacked.

  • @cotaman08 I hear you.. Not sure I'm ready for burpees yet, been sore every day since I started, my body is adjusting. Post it as a response I'm sure she'll approve it.

  • @cashpath you doing p90x?

    You haven't been off THAT long!! I think you may be getting old ;)

  • @cotaman08 I gained 20 lbs man.. that's a lot of weight.. you're right though I'm getting old too. LOL

  • @cashpath 20 lbs??? WOW. I thought I was doing bad. I was up 11 lbs (now I am up only 4)..The good thing seems to be..if you don't let the weight sit on you, you can take it right back off. If you think it's hard now to maintain, wait till you get to my age..it's a good thing I like a challenge ;)

  • @cotaman08 I'll kno Jays back when I see a vid, lol.
