I started today with some chest workouts and was struggling hard on some weights I am used to.
After 9 sets (3 sets of 3 workouts) I went to the stairs machine and did that for 5 minutes.
Then I did a speed walk on the incline for 20 minutes, with 4 minutes of running on incline mixed in.
After that, I went back to the 3 types of workouts and knocked out 2 sets on each.
The difference was like molasses and melted butter.
I always knew this, but today I wanted to put it to the true test. Can I work out and lift more at the end of my session, if my HR is higher than when it was super low at the start? i had gone in super super tired but after treadmill & stairs I was feeling more awake. So I gave it a go and sure enough, the proof was in the pudding pushing.
Do you stick to a strict cardio/warmup routine before lifting or just get right to it? I can't see myself starting with lifts after this because it was such a drastic difference in my strength
