Next, was finding her why and what was it that made her decide to reach out to me. She started to tell me about herself and what she did. Then, she got to talking about how she most recently passed her exam and received her certification to teach professionally. I brought up the coaching opportunity and here we are now. She is determined and one dedicated individual. She is ready to not only transform her life, but transform the lives around her!!!!

Weekly Update: Week 3 T-25

Plank Taps

Weekly Schedule :

Monday- Total Body Circuit
Tuesday- Speed 1.0
Wednesday- Lower Focus
Thursday- Cardio
Friday- Total Body Circuit & Ab Intervals

Ahhhhh! Another week has come and gone. Can you believe it? I know I can't. It seems like I just started this program, and it is flying by. The whole month of September is flying by and soon another month will have come and gone. Time flies by way too fast, it is gone in a blink of the eye.

 

 

I really loved working out this week. I know you are probably thinking about is that possible when last week was just an EPIC fail and I was just struggling all over the place. But I went into week 3 with a positive mindset. I have been getting up each day, looking at myself in the mirror and saying just go further than you did before. Do one extra push-up or burpee and you have made progress. So that is exactly what I did.

 

 So, total body circuit is something I just have not been able to like, because it is not just one particular body area you are working. You are working every single part, from top to bottom- in twenty-five minutes (can you imagine how intense)?? Lunges have never been a friend of mine and there are some MAJOR lunges. Short lunges, deeper lunges, pulse lunges, and then you hold your lunge without pulsing. Talk about a BURN!!  Next on the list are oblique push-ups. Where has my muscle strength gone. I feel so weak when it comes to these, but I start on my feet for rep #1 and then drop to my knees when I have too. (Hey, I am a work in progress). A positive from last week, is I did a TON better with spider push-ups. (pat on the back for me).

 

I have not stepped on the scale since starting my journey. I don't want to, because sometimes the scale tends to get in our minds. But I can tell you that since starting, I feel lighter, no bloating, and overall better!!

 

 

Speed 1.0 remember when I said I wasn't an athlete, well I really am not. But I can say I decided to focus on my speed with my feet over mastering the moves perfect with both hands & feet. If I tried to focus on both I would end up thinking too much and trip over my feet. My cross jacks got a little bit better, but then my squat-thrust crossovers I just couldn't keep up with the fast pace as Shaun T was doing. This burnout was particularly longer than any other burnout. Nine minutes TOTAL. When I say there are no breaks there are NO breaks.

 

An important part of a workout routine is your nutrition. It makes it easier each week to succeed if you sit down and plan out your meals. This gives you any excuse to fall off plan. If you follow your meal plan you are giving yourself no reason but to succeed. Sit down and plan all your meals out for the week. Once you do that make your list and head to go food shopping. When you get home prep all your food. Cut up fruits and veggies, cook off your chicken, put your snacks in portioned baggies so it is just a grab and go. Have food with you in your car in case you get stuck at work late one night or even in traffic. Set yourself up for success, don't set yourself up to fail!

 

 

 

Try new recipes. Look for your favorite "unhealthy" recipe and look for a healthier version. Usually it is only one simple ingredient. For example, most people mix tuna fish with mayo. Instead of using mayo next time you make your tuna fish swap it out for plain Greek yogurt. Half the calories, but still tastes just as good.

 

 

Are you  struggling with creating your own meal plans and are looking for a Beachbody Fitness Program to get you back on track - Let's have a conversation. I would love to help you during your own personal journey. We all have been there at some point or another! Sometimes we just need a little help getting back on track! Slowly incorporating clean eating and healthy habits daily have helped me succeed to where I am today. If you are looking to find a program and create your own meal plan message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss everything with you and your goals you have in mind.

Weekly Update: Week 2 T-25

It is that time again. Time for another weekly update and status on how week #2 went. I can't say it enough this program is AmAzZzZiNg and Shaun T I gotta hand it to you buddy you are a GENIUS! I mean seriously twenty-five minute workouts for five days a week (minus Friday because it is double days) but you can choose to break those up if you need and do one of those at night or Saturday am. Don't think you get the same effect in twenty-five minutes as you can in an hour? Try it, I promise you will. You just FOCUS for twenty-five minutes, and from the time you start you are burning calories & working muscles.

So what did my week two schedule look like? It goes a little something like this.

Monday- Cardio
Tuesday- Total Body Circuit
Wednesday- Speed 1.0
Thursday- Cardio
Friday- Lower Focus & Ab Intervals

There are things I like and don't like (yet) about this program. It is still new and I am still trying to adjust to the fast pace moves. But there is a modifier you still can follow. So here we go....

Monday was a new week, I was ready to go and super excited because I am in love with this program. Cardio was never my thing but I have learned to love it. The one thing I can say I am struggling with right now is spider walk push-ups. My muscle strength is just not all that great so push-ups, I am at a little bit of a disadvantage. Spider walks just seem crazy to me. I mean who cones up with this stuff. Put those two together and you should see me. I have to say it would be a bit commical. I am grunting everytime I start to spider walk and trying to push-up together. I know it is physically possible and I just keep telling myself start with one and then modify. And then next week add one more to the list. Every day try and try again, never give up. It is not about perfection just progress.

Strive for progress

Tuesday I am not sure which is worse for me total body circuit or speed 1.0 but we will get to speed in a second. My intake of TBC right now is I am not quite sure. This burnout phase is my LEAST favorite. It really KILLS me. My muscles really feel knotted and tight when I do this. Almost like I could get a charlie horse at any moment.  You are working every body muscle with this phase and I know I am building my body muscles back up, while working muscles that are so very weak from not using then everyday. I can only hope TBC and I will be friends after this phase.

Oh man Speed 1.0 I just need to video camera myself don't this because you guys will get a HUGE laugh at this. I even laugh at myself because I know I look so goofy. I have always been a go at your own pace kinda gal. Never the fast athletic type, so this workout I would compare it too fast paced athletic training. I am constantly tripping over my feet because you have to move your arms a certain way with each move. So I try really hard to concentrate getting the moves perfect before I speed it up. Then I end up thinking too much, trip over my feet as I am getting all screwed up. Since I struggle with the workout, during the burnout phase I said I was going to push myself to make up for my lack of coordination but it turns out I pushed myself one step too hard. After that workout I was on the ground gasping for air & chugging water.

Thursday rolled around for Cardio day #2. I was just not all there mentally.  For some reason I was not all with it. I literally rolled out of bed with my bed head hair, put on my bright colorful clothes hoping I would get going. Usually after the warm up is complete I am ready to go. My blood is flowing and my excitement is going.

Bed Head, Crazy Color Short/Shoes

Who doesn't love to workout without having to worry about getting up and getting ready. Worrying about if your clothes match and waiting in line for machines. I know I love getting up, just heading to my basement, and the only worry in the world is which workout you are going to do.  

Hard work & dedication

Fridays' are DOUBLE DAYS. Two twenty-five minute workouts back to back. It gives you a jump start to the weekend.  It is nice because then you have Saturday and Sunday as your rest days. It is tough at first because these workouts are built for intensity and insane results. It was a long week so I was extremely exhausted come Friday, so I somewhat debated getting up and doing both workouts or splitting them out. But, I kept saying to myself if you want the results you have to work for them. They are not just going to be handed to you.


Another Week is down and over. I can't believe we are heading into Week #3. Almost half way done with Alpha. Check back for my week 3 updates and progress. Off to go get some great meal plan ideas.

If you have questions about FOCUS T-25 I would be glad to answer them. Or want to be apart of my next online accountability group just message me it starts September 23rd. Have a fantastic week everyone!!!
