HIIT + Farmer’s Market
Even though we have an amazing farmer’s market in Bern I have to admit that I rarely go there.
Come on! Who am I? Isn’t it the “it-thing” of the health food bloggers? 
Shame on me!
Well after a long absence I steered to the organic veggies on Saturday. I now only have one zucchini, some radishes, half a head of cauliflower and some celery stalks left. And it’s only Tuesday. I guess I’ll have to go there again tomorrow!
My two day long absence can be explained quite easily. I spent the entire Sunday checking my boyfriend’s thesis for grammar mistakes. I now know everything about electrical engineering. Yep.
We worked until 11pm and was really lacking sleep. That’s why I decided to take yesterday evening off. I had dinner, read my book and went to bed at 10pm. Heaven!
Random fact of the day #1:
I’m slowly eating my way through the bars I got in London.
Random fact of the day #2:
Eating hot oats on a hot day really isn’t cool (ha!). I somehow don’t seem to have any conventional breakfast food on hand.
Tomorrow I’ll make a COLD smoothie.
Brace yourself, tonight’s dinner was beyond (!!!) creative.
Tam tam taaaaam…..
I’d say that this is a meal to remember!
JK. Do I really need to mention that I felt like a lazy bum tonight?
Have I ever told you that I HATE gyms in the evening? They’re so crowded! I still went to my gym after work though
I usually go to the gym in the morning which I like so much better (even though it means that I have to get up earlier). There aren’t many people around and the free weights section isn’t “filled with testosterone” (if you know what I mean 
).
Today I did a very basic HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on the treadmill:
- 5 min warm-up run
- 1 min sprint
- 2 min run/jog
- repeat sprint and jog 6x
- 10 min cool down jog
(Try doing 5-8 sets)
I hate interval training and feel like dying the entire time but I somehow start to like HIITs because they make time fly by. Also, they’re fantastic if you have little time and want to make the most of your workout.
Time to do some yoga now!
Q: Do you know/like/hate/?? HIITs?
I’ve never done the HIIT workouts, but I have to admit, I’m intrigued by them!
I hate evening gym trips too– I push myself so much harder early in the day!
I was so conflicted this morning when I wanted oats…but I needed something *cold*…but I didn’t make overnight oats…so I just stood in the kitchen staring at the oat container.
And then poured some cereal haha
I’ve never purposely tried HIIT but it sounds tough!
I love that flavor of Trek bar sooooooo good! I like intervals the time goes quickly and I always sweat a lot more! x x
haha ive been eating hot foods in the heat of summer too lol.
i love HIIT.. i find it saves me time by doing quick sprints alternated with walking and jogging around the block. before i know it ive done 30 min or more yet feel like ive got such a great workout in!
xoxo
I eat hot oats on hot days all the time
Actually… by the time I get around to eating my oats, they’re not really that hot anymore… I kind of like room temperature oats 
Ack. I won’t go to the gym in the evenings… much, much too crowded for my taste. If I can’t go in the mornings, I’ll just work out at home. I’ve just recently started doing some HIIT, and I have a love/hate relationship with it. I like that it makes the time go faster and I don’t have to spend so long on the machine to get a good workout in, but I hate that it whoops my butt… and I’m starting out at a beginner’s pace too!
