As a freelance website designer<\/a> it’s always difficult to plan your weeks in advance. Some weeks I have little work to do and can do plenty of activities such as running and cycling, other weeks I seem to be rushed off my feet and find myself working long days just to fit everything in. It’s my own fault of course, as I set my own deadlines, but I just can’t leave things half finished until the next day. No 9-5 for me, if there’s work to be done i’d rather just get on and do it.<\/p>\n

This week has been one of those busy ones so far, lots of projects on the go, lots of meetings and lots of long days in front of the computer. It isn’t the end of the world for my fitness though. For a start as I said in a previous post, some rest is of course essentia<\/a>l, but I also have a few fairly time efficient workouts that I can do.<\/p>\n

I did a couple of these back to back yesterday. First up was 35 minutes on the Turbo Trainer for a 1:1 minute interval session. It takes no time at all to put on a heart rate monitor and pair of cycling shorts and fire up the Turbo Trainer. It’s all set up and ready to go in the spare room so I can be on it in no time.<\/p>\n

After a 10 minute warm up ramping up from 120 – 200 Watts it was then straight into 7 x 1:1 minute intervals:<\/p>\n
