This is 100% not me - a total anomaly.

After 5 years of working on this whole thyroid thing, after 5 or 6 of these thyroid episodes, I gave up!

While doing some research, I keep coming across the idea of short bursts of super intensive training - like sprinters do. Today, came across a link to a 4 minute workout, billed as The World’s Fastest Workout Video!!! Wow!

We also watched this video on a Tabata workout and Emily and I grabbed cans and did it with her. WOW! It is a tremendous workout, and it says it will burn for 24 to 36 hours.

I am going to go research Tabata.
