Today is my first day of Focus T25. Am I scared? Not really. This challenge comes on the heels of my completion of Hip Hop Abs and Insanity. I know Shaun T. I know what he brings. If I was scared, I would have deserted Insanity in the beginning of month two. I'm ready for the next step, the next big thing. I'm ready to "nail it" as the slogan for the program reads. This is me at the beginning for those of you that haven't followed:
I've had two babies. I didn't take care of my body the first pregnancy and I sure didn't take care of my body the second. Enter my high school friend and Beachbody Coach, Shannon. Her weight loss was amazing and inspirational. Enough of my backstory. This is me three months later after Hip Hop Abs and Insanity. This photo will mark the beginning of my T25 journey:
Now on to day one! As I lace up my shoes I have butterflies in my stomach like this is my first date. I'm expecting something like Pure Cardio or Max Cardio Conditioning from Insanity...no breaks. Cardio...will I nail it? Please let the music be better than Insanity! Well kind of like Pure Cardio/Max Cardio but also different. There is still no breaks but the moves are progressive, they start out easy, medium, and hard (low, medium, and high impact). Some of the moves I recognize from Insanity and a few new ones as well (some I liked, some not so much). The one improvement in this workout is Tania and her modifiers. I can honestly say, though I didn't use any of them, the modifiers make this workout possible for ANYONE. Tania was sweating with the modifiers so it was not a useless workout to use them. This is something that Insanity lacked. As I type, I'm sweating all over my keyboard, gross. One thing the program does not lie about, it is 25 minutes and DONE. There is a two and a half stretch/cool down that I enjoyed and thought was worth the extra time. I just need that cool down to bring my heart rate down. The music wasn't booty-popping, dance music, but it was better than Insanity. One thing that definitely did not change? "Keep your Core tight!" Yes Mister Shaun T. All in all, I love this program and am excited to continue it. Day one down and loving every sweaty minute!
