Okay, today was my 6th time taking CardioTryx pre-cardio.. I lift M-Tu-Th-Sat and do cardio on off days.
My first day taking, I just did some LISS cardio 7.0 mph @ 2.5 incline for 45 min.. Now, I hate cardio, hate it with a passion.. But after about the first 3/4 mile, I felt an overly generous "push," if you will, where it just became easier than usual. Awesome day 1.
So today was my 6th, non-consecutive day taking it. I took Epitome at 8, then I took my dose of CT at 1120 while I was reading for school, I didn't realize time passed by so I didn't leave for the gym until 1215.. Needless to say, it started to kick in during my drive to the gym and I felt this urge.. Really strong focus..
I usually do 10 min warm-up on the stationary bike, except this time it wasn't really a warm-up. At the 4 minute mark, my heart rate was already up to 170+ and I had no intention of stopping.. After ten minutes, I did as follows:
5 rounds - 2 minute rest in-between rounds:
12 tire flips (220lb tire)
rest 20 seconds
30 kettlebell swings (55lb)
rest 20 seconds
30 wall balls (20lb)
rest 20 seconds
1 min all out jump rope
Rest 5 minutes after circuit, then 15 minutes of 10s on/20s off of sled pushes with 180 lbs
Rest 5 minutes then, 40 minutes on stationary bike @ level 10, keeping speed above 19mph.
This was one of the best cardio workouts I've had in quite some time. I don't have a hard time pushing myself, but today was like a different beast.. I can't speak as to the fatloss that CT provides as I've only been taking it for a short while. What I can say however, is this is definitely a cardio ENHANCER, hands down. I'm glad I purchased two bottles when I did and will continue to incorporate this on my cardio days.
Epitome + CardioTryx + Eviscerate + compression shirt = INSANE sweating. I actually laughed out loud when I rang out my shirt afterwards.
I should note that I do IF and this workout was completely fasted (except for 10g BCAA beforehand)
Anyway, sorry for the long post.. Just wanted to put my opinion out there. I have yet to use a EvoMuse product that hasn't delivered - and that's rare for me.
