Focus T25 Day 13 – Lower Focus

I’m posting this a day later than I would have hoped and it’ll be my last post on Focus T25 for about a week. Yesterday, while doing lunges about 13 minutes into the workout my upper right leg/hip/groin muscle popped a few times. I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard and even through I stretch I need to let this rest up. I can tell it’s injured, I have full use of my leg etc. However, there is a nagging dull pain around the area of the “pops”.

I’ll take the next week off from cardio and focus on strength training and core and then pickup T25 in a week after my leg is feeling better.

BUMMED OUT!!!

My first real injury in 12 months

I’m bummed, totally and utterly bummed. I was doing Focus T25 – Lower Focus this morning and as I was going down to-do a lunge I heard a pop, snap and I fell to the floor. It was towards the inside of my right leg. Now, I have a warm uncomfortable sensation. It looks like I’ll be taking a few days off from T25 and resting my lower body and praying I didn’t do any major damage.

The good news, I can still walk and stretch. It’s just a little uncomfortable.

Bummed Out!

Focus T25 Speed 1.0 – Day 12

Today was Focus T25 Speed 1.0. This is the start of my third week and I must admit my results so far are really impressive. Speed 1.0 is a really good workout, I burned about 300 calories and pushed myself during the burnout session at the end. The great thing about Focus T25 is you can push yourself as hard as you want or use the modifier to adjust the intensity. This makes the workout perfect for a beginner or advanced person looking to tone or someone looking lose weight.

I also added in 20 minutes of upper body weight lifting today as well.

Focus T25 Day 11 – Total Body Circuit

I’m just getting around to posting this a day late. Yesterday, I went on a 3.5 mile run and did Focus T25 Day 11 Total Body Circuit and it was a stellar workout. I burned about 420 calories doing T25 since my heart rate was still elevated from the run. This is one of my favorite workouts so far in the Alpha phase, it pushes me like Insanity did.

Focus T25 Day 10 – Ab Intervals & Lower Focus

Focus T25 Day 10 wraps up today and marks two weeks doing the Focus T25 workout program! I’m really enjoying this workout this far and I can’t wait to jump into the Beta and Gamma programs. Ab Intervals is my favorite ab/core workout out of all the programs I’ve done. The burn after that workout is insane.

Focus T25 Day 9 – Alpha Cardio

Focus T25 Day 9, I’m posting this a day late since it was a late night workout. Yesterday, was a long 13 hour day of travel with flight delays and missed flights so I spent a lot of time sitting. When I finally got to workout at home last night around 9:15pm it felt good to stretch the muscles and move around. I’m really enjoying this workout so far.

Today is Day 10, Lower Focus & Ab Intervals video’s to follow.

Focus T25 Day 8 – Speed 1.0

Focus T25 Day 8 – Speed 1.0 from Montreal. It was a short and simple 25 minute workout that really got the heart rate up and added some much-needed stretching. I also added a pushup/burpee/mountain climber routine to the end to push myself a little harder tonight.

Total calories burned 389

Focus T25 Day 7 – Total Body

I finally got my workout in at 8:15pm tonight after traveling for 7 hours today. My left knee was a little achy from the 5 mile run I did yesterday and the fact I was sitting on a plane for a good portion of the day. However, it was nothing that I could work through. Total Body is a decent workout and while I didn’t burn a ton of calories, the core exercises are very useful and effective.

As usual my raw uncut video entry.

Focus T25 Day 6 – Alpha Cardio

Today was Focus T25 Alpha Cardio, Day 6. After recently completing Insanity, one thought I have is when doing Focus T25 you can dictate how hard you push yourself. When doing Insanity you are pushed to the max no matter how much effort you put in, so I need to make some adjustments and push harder to get the calorie burn up.

Total calories burned 400.

Focus T25 Day 5 Cardio & Lower Focus

Today was Focus T25 Day 5  a dual workout day, Alpha Cardio & Lower Focus. The moves in Alpha Cardio were much easier tonight, perhaps I wasn’t as tired as when I did the same workout Sunday night. The Lower Focus workout was intense, my legs were shaking about 15 minutes into the workout and my left knee was hurting a little bit. All-in-all I’m really liking Focus T25 and I can’t to see the results when I’m done.

I burned roughly 350 calories per workout.
