Incline HIIT & Abs/Core

Today I did High Intensity Interval Training on the treadmill at an incline of 15%. I alturnated between walking at 4 MPH for 1 minute and running at 8mph for 30 seconds. I did this for 20 minutes and was wiped out when I was finished. According to the treadmill I burned 337 calories and reached a maximum heart rate of 176 beats per minute.

Then I did some ab and core exercises:

Reverse Crunches: 1 set of 20
Bicycles: 1 set of 20
Plank: 30 seconds
Roman Chair Extensions: 1 set of 20
Ab Wheel: 1 set of 20

I finished with 3 sets of 5 reps of Windmills with a 5 lb dumbell. I need to keep the weight light because of the pinched nerve. I want to work back to heavy poundage very slowly.
