With 2021 upon us, I’ve lined up a couple of pick-me-up sessions to get my fitness back to where it was before 2020’s festivities. While having down time with the family is amazing and undoubtably needed, the lousy part is always trying to get my fitness back to where it was.
One of the sets I do comprises of short rest, speed and hypoxic work to really get the heart-rate up and maintain it there.
