ICT 5

Warmup:
Few minutes rope and dynamic stretching

Workout:
17 x (5 burpees, 6 chinnies, 5 hindu squats, 5 push-ups)

-Time: 19:50, AHR 171, Max 185, Min 106, Recover 8 (179-171)
-Not too hard. Got a familiar cramp in the right side of abs. No real hindrance.
-I want to hit 20 circuits in 20min on this. Circuit time is around 40sec so go for 20 sec rest and possibly shore it up to 15 sec towards the end.
-Last time I only did 15 rounds. No HRM though.
-Seems like time to recover goes up with total workout time.
-Recovering well after 2min but hardly anything after 1min. Need to keep rest times under a min to train this.
