In this thread I was talking about motivation.... now that I'm getting things back into swing I am wondering how often I should condition. I'm 12 1/2 years old, 5'3" and in a growth spurt. (in case that info helped) and I was wondering......how many rest days do YOU think I should have. I'm on vacation then to a hockey camp so I think this might help. 3, 4, or 5? I am thinking about joining boy scouts so that would be no Wednesday, and I refuse to do it on Sundays. I'm going into middle school so I don't know how much homework will factor in. --------------------------------------- NEW THREAD My dad got me a heart monitor...I was all meh.........then I realized, I could do HIIT. But, it would be a long section thaty would extent my workout time over my ideal. But if its effective at working cardio then I'm all for it. So does it? |

The only thing that limits you is yourself.
There is only one way...your own way.
Don't settle.
Fear is just my body telling me I have to be careful.
Go with the flow,
but give the current a fight.

Depends on what you're actually doing.

I have a problem with rest days also, but mine is that I don't adhere to them. I have fast metabolism, and I heal incredibly fast. No matter how far I push myself I am fine within a period of time relative to physical exertion. Like today, I have done 90 Lunges, 55 Squats, 40 Box Jumps, 50 Russian twists, and 45 Handsfree Leglifts, and yet, I am not sore. Because of my recuperative abilities, my rest days end up more like workout days. I just don't like to sit still for too long while I have enrgy.

Muscle ups......and overall strength and endurance. |

HIIT works all energy pathways as does tabatas and metabolic conditioning. Yes, this translates to increases in "endurance."

Just do 100m repeats with your 3 min rest starting from like 4 repeats working your way up to 10...
Build up to 400m repeats (200m first, then 300m then 400m).

So......400 meter or mile  Yeah...if we move out into the country I'll definitely do that. But for now, I have a shaky reputation....and being seen doing that by the wrong people.....yeah. |

400m is all you'll need unless you want to run 5k or more...
