So I was able to do the T25 program today. My husband got it for me and I mean seriously, wow. I am a little scared right now for the rest of the 90 days we have to do this. However in comparison to the P90X3 last night I would still say that the P90X3 is harder. Joelene suggested doing the P90X3 program after the 90 days of T25. Yikes!
About the program:
The program is 25 minutes a day & 5 days a week with resting and recording your STATS on Saturday (or STATurday) as they call it, then a stretch video on Sunday. However I didn't realize that Friday's is a double day - so you are required to do two 25 minute videos; now 50 minutes may not seem like a lot but you can't stop the entire time. There are 3 levels of programs too, you start out doing the "Alpha" program for 5 weeks, then move to "Beta" for 5 weeks and finally finish with the hardest one: "Gamma" for 5 weeks.
The 25 minute workout tonight was difficult and there was no break, it just went from exercise to exercise to exercise to exercise. I managed to push through it which I am so proud, by following the modified girl which still is challenging.
The most difficult part of this work out is that you don't get ANY rest and the workout we did tonight was called: "Cardio" so just like the name says you are doing 25 minutes of intense cardio (non-stop!); my lungs were burning, my throat was so dry my legs burned like you can't believe. Be afraid, be very afraid - ha!
Day one. Done! Woot!
Tomorrow we are supposed to do a less intense exercise (from the glimpse I seen) and it is called "Speed 1.0" which involves cardio, strength training moves and incorporates stretching in with the workout, so basically your stretching is your rest period. Anyway more on that tomorrow.
Honestly I can't really break down this workout as it is such a complex program, it involved a lot of squats, lunge moves and combinations, lots of jumping jacks, and jumping moves. It was just really exhausting.
I did it though... on top of that, yep I still did my AB challenge.
Day 15:
- 90 crunches
- 42 leg raises
- 1 minute plank
**~HIGH FIVE TO ME~**
I finished off tonight with my classic post-workout shake.
My nutrition today was good (I think), water take was great to. All in all a great day.
I have found myself questioning the foods I am eating. Again that mentality of if it tastes good can it be good for me? For breakfast I had an orange creamsicle tasting shake, snack I had vanilla greek yogurt and an orange, lunch was a veggie whole wheat wrap, afternoon snack again was a small container (or maybe medium?) of mixed nuts and I had a small container of cucumber, then supper was leftover roast and vegetables.
I am just unsure of the nuts part. I am not sure how much is too much, then of course having my peanut butter shake every night I question if that is something I shouldn't do either. Maybe I should mix up the type of shake I have? Ugh. Maybe I am just over thinking this.
I don't have all the answers. All I can do is try.
Well I am curious to find out what my weigh in is on Saturday and my measurements.
Wish me luck on tomorrows T25 workout!
