Cardio Hybrid Workout: T25 (Beta) - Upper Focus
*Forgot to post yesterday.
Been a couple of weeks since I hit the arms and what a difference it makes. I felt like I lost a lot of strength. I got it done but I could feel it and I had to really push. I feel like I don't have a lot of energy lately, it’s really weird. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just worn done. I probably need a break but I refuse to take some time off until I hit that year mark. I’m only a month away now.
T25 Beta (Week 4): Speed 2.0 and Upper Focus
No nailed workouts this morning, but two really good ones.
Speed 2.0
Speed 2.0 seemed completely different downstairs just so much faster and harder, I liked it. It felt like a new challenge and I had to take a second a few times.
Upper Focus
I don't think this makes much difference but my basement is to short for me to stand up straight with my arms overhead. It needs at least a few more inches so I either have to squat when I over head press or I have to sit. Today I sat down because I was already feeling it from the Speed workout, but honestly it didn't feel that different from standing. Today those 12 lbs weights felt sooooo heavy. Not sure why, I didn't feel sore from my lift workout yesterday, but you never know.
T25 Beta (Week 3): Upper Focus
Nailed it!
Woke up with a much better attitude this morning and was able to push through. Hopefully, that will continue for the rest of the week. I do enjoy the Upper Focus workout. I know it's only 12lbs, but it doesn't take long for them to start feeling really heavy and between last nights lift workout and this mornings Upper Focus my arms are really feeling it!
One thing I would like to improve on are the high swish kicks I don't go near as fast or smooth as they do. I really need to focus a little more on that one.
T25 Beta (Week 2): Upper Focus
I guess I forgot how hard it was getting up when it is cold. It is usually difficult enough to get up earlier, but the last few days have been ridiculous. At least when I do get up I get into it pretty quickly because it's cold and I want to get my body warmed up, but at the same time it feels like it takes longer for my body to loosen up. Either way i got it done and I got it nailed. Once again that's three workouts this week nailed!
Tomorrow I have the double day and it is my first realistic shot at nailing a double day. It's Rip't Circuit and Speed 2.0 and I have nailed both of these more than once. The question is will my body and will power be able to hold out for an extra 25 minutes. It would be an amazing goal to reach and one I never set nor honestly imagined reaching.
T25 Beta (Week 1): Upper Focus & Core Cardio
Upper Focus
Finally... I NAILED it! Being wanting to nail this one since the first time I did it, so it feels great to finally have accompliched that task. In a way I felt everything was against me. I had two evening lift worouts in a row and usuaual I space them out but because I will be working well into the night and early morning today I decided to go ahead and push through. So I was already pretty sore this morning and just even beginning the work I knew how tough this was going to be, but I found reserves from somewhere and dug deep for some extra determination and did it. So yes, I feel fucking fantastic!
Core Cardio
Bad news, after nailing Upper Focus I had nothing left. The well had run dry. Very little strength, breath, and determination left so I had switch to 100% modification. Still made it through though and I am counting that as a win! I could have easily quiet and I didn't so very proud of myself for that.
Thoughts On the Week
I nailed three workouts this week, Speed 2,0, Rip't Circuit, and Upper Focus, and that is the first time i have ever nailed that many workouts in one week in T25. That is an accomplishment I can feel really proud of. Also, I am now 16 full weeks into Focus T25 and I have never missed a workout! Never could I have imagined that it blows my mind.
Good luck! Keep pushing and we will reach our goals.
Beta, W4, Day 5: 25/10/’14 - Upper Focus
Shaun doesn't tell you to focus for nothing, I accidentally Static Uppercut'd myself in the face, oops. I managed to score a second-hand dumbbell! 2x2.5 kg plates (5kg, ~11 lbs). It's only the one for now, but it definitely saves me a lot of money if I only have to buy one new. It's still too heavy for me so I wouldn't have been able to integrate two a lot anyway. I used the 5kg in the static arm during the 90° Hold Bicep Curl, and the 3kg for the moving arm. It's a small difference but it already felt a lot more challenging.
T25 Beta (Week 4): Speed 2.0 & Upper Body
Speed 2.0
I am going to go with Nailed it! The only time I did a modification was on the second exercise because my foot was stiff and hadn't warmed up after that I did pretty weel. it may not have been as pretty as the last time i nailed it, but I am confident in thinking I nailed it, because I am the one who ger to decide and I am extremely happy with that effort. I did the best I could and sweated buckets.
Upper Body
I really wanted to nail it and I was amped to do it. It would have been the first time i nailed Upper Body and the first time ever that I nailed a double day, but I just couldn't do it. I ran completely out of steam. I couldn't be too upset with myself though because I gave it my all. That was absolutely all I had, so no regrets. Plus, I have never sweat so much in my life as I did this morning. it was running off me a smearing on the floor.
Overall I feel great this morning today makes it a full 14 weeks of no missed workouts! I barely even dreamed I would be this far along and never even thought I could do this and so ever day I am amazed with my new willpower and strength. I guess the moral of my story so far is you can do it even if you don't think you can.
Have a great Friday!
T25 Beta (Week 3): Upper Focus (12lbs Dumbells)
Just a quick note because I didn't post it last night, but I did get my lift workout in thus starting week 2 of the plan. Hopefully, I will be as consistent with it as I am on T25. So far so good because I could have easily not done it as I had lodge last night, but immediately went home changed and got it done before I had to leave. Hopefully, I can keep that same determination.
Upper Focus
I was still feeling a little sore from last night but I pushed through it and it felt really good. I love this workout, I just feel like a beast when I get through. It won't be to long before I have to increase the dumb bell weights but for now they are good. Came real close to nailing this one. I have to work on my side planks they are pretty terrible and my endurance started waving toward the last 5 minutes. It won't be long before I can say "Nailed It" I get a little closer each time.
Good luck reaching your goals!
*edit: this is week 3 not 2
