After going crazy for kettlebells (and carrots) this weekend, Casey decided he would choose and lead our early Tuesday morning workout. Normally I’d be totally fine with this arrangement; I’d even encourage it. But little did I know, he was out for blood (ok, ok, just sweat…) with his stair stepper + dreadmill sprint intervals. Maybe it was payback for all the bootcamps, yoga classes and runs I’ve put him through? But OMG – stairstepper and dreadmill sprints in the same morning – OMG. WAHHHH.
All whining (and partial kidding) aside, it was a great butt busting workout. I was sweating in the first minute and basically just walked around leaving a pool all over the gym. If you’ve got half an hour to spare, try this awesome HIIT inspired workout, courtesy of my husband (the ultra-runner):
- Climb 50 flights of stairs as fast as possible (took me 6:15)
- Sprint 2 miles (15:15 – boom!)

- Squats holding weight at pelvis height (x20), squats over weight (tapping it each time) (x20)
