HIIT vs. Steady-State Cardio
First, let's define what HIIT and Steady-State Cardio are. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. It is characterized by short bursts of all out max effort (on a scale of 1-10 of your perceived effort, a 7+ or 70%-90% of your max heart rate), followed by a short period of rest where your heart rate drops to 60%-65% of your max heart rate, repeated over and over. HIIT workouts are generally 20 minutes in length, but can vary depending on the person and what they are training for. HIIT activities can include running, cycling, rowing machine sprints or heavy weight lifting. These types of workouts are anaerobic ("without oxygen"), meaning the workout is generating more demand for oxygen than can be supplied. To compensate, the body breaks down glucose stores for energy, which leads to the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles. Lactic acid causes the "burn" you feel in your muscles during a hard workout.

Being a Bubble of One
I’m just 1 person in my own bubble during this pandemic. It’s been strange going ten months without quality human contact (no offense to my dentist, dental hygienist, and the radiologist who administered my mammogram, but that isn’t the sort of physical contact I’m craving). It’s been rough living in the same zip code as my parents but being unable to hug them or see them without the windows of my car in-between us. It’s also been difficult learning how to repair my toilets so I don’t have to have a plumber enter my home.
