Circuit Training with cardio intervals.

Today I changed my routine up by adding cardio intervals to my ST routine and lifting lighter weights with higher reps. I have not done cardio intervals with my ST in some time. I was not able to make my intervals as intense as they once were because of my knee but I did increase my speed today up to 6.5 mph. Hopefully with patience and more time I will be back to where I used to be.
