Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company.
I think when I get into shape I want to become a volunteer firefighter.
Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King

Thanks Minu... I just hope I don't over do it or don't eat right to where its all counterproductive.

Overdoing it would be my concern, how many times a week do you do the HIIT?

I just started HIIT, I havn't really done it all that much I think I started 4 days ago and have done it everyday since (except yesterday). I know I will be doing the 5x5 on Sat. Mon, and Wed. I just need to stick the HIIT in there somewhere.

EVERYDAY? Wowzers. For moi, HIIT demands a day of rest.
Damn youth, we never appreciate until it's gone.
