HIIT Fitness: Session 2

Second round of HIIT Fitness completed this morning, again on the recumbent bike, with better success. The seat was adjusted correctly so my back was flat against it while I spun, alleviating the "recumbent butt" issue. Due to the intensity of this type of exercise I've chosen to do it every third day instead of the normal 30 pre-weight lifting cardio.

Earlier last week I took my helm into a shop and pounded out the dents, reshaped the dome, etc...but needed to change the padding to fit my newly fixed gear. My Knight and I got together and spent the time fitting new padding into the dome of my helmet. The foam looked and felt perfectly usable but after a few gagging blows I am uncertain if it will hold up for a season. It compressed a bit too easily causing the metal to slap slightly against my head, rocking me a bit too much for safeties sake. We alleviated this issue by adding some stiffer foam into the top of the helm but I may purchase a few different materials and use the padding currently in the helm as a pattern for later. Sometimes padding doesn't work out, I'm glad my Knight and I spent the time checking it out.
