T25 Week Three Days Four and Five - Cardio and Full Body Circuit & Ab Intervals


I forgot to post yesterday and I just realized that I didn't post day three but I don't think I can remember that far back!  Sorry!  But in my defense I went full throttle running after my T25 workout to try and beat my Fitbit calorie goal for the day.  So first up, day four Cardio.  It was tough, I haven't been sweating as much this week because it's been very cool, barely 70 degrees.  But tonight was a different story. Despite the coolness, I still was a sweaty mess afterwards.  It was a great workout and much needed but I still say that Cardio is way too much like Lowe Focus to follow it or be done in the same day. I felt my legs dying from the Lower Focus the day before. Then, as if my legs hadn't been worked enough, I hopped on the treadmill and ran full tilt for two miles.  When I was doing a cool down walk, I checked my Fitbit and was under my calories burned by about 200.  Well, I wasn't letting that slip by, this was the closest I have come. So I decided to run/walk intervals for another mile and finally beat it at 10:30. Phew! Today (Saturday because I'm a day behind) I got right up while the rest of my family slept and did my double day. I knew I wanted the rest of my day to relax and I also knew how sore I would get from a three mile run so getting the workout done early means I wouldn't be doing it sore later! Total body circuit had me breathing heavy and panting.  It really is a great workout but again, any leg work lacked a little because of two full days of leg work. And of course you all know how I feel about the plank work/pushups.  I just suck at them and end up needing tiny breaths just to stretch and shake my arms for a second. But I pushed through it (wouldn't say I nailed it) and started on Ab Intervals.  Usually I love ab intervals because this is my problem area on my body from carrying my kids.  I usually like the cardio recovery but I was so cardio-ed out from last night and Total Body that I still felt myself dragging during the Cardio. But the ab work kicked my butt and the extra little arm work in plank also kicked my butt. Overall I'm tired and ready to spend the day with my family. Let's see if I can follow through with my goal of doing stretch on my rest day and I'll post about that. I honestly just forget, not that I don't want to do it!
