Focus T25 day # 4 - Ab Intervals

Wow! Ab Intervals puts Cardio Abs to SHAME! What a workout. I found myself taking small (I said small!) breaks when I haven't had to on any of the other workouts yet.  I'm not so flexible so when we had to straighten our legs while seated, it was a little hard for me. Maybe I should start stretching every morning and before I workout to loosen up my hamstrings?? What was great about this workout is Shaun T burns the h e double hockey sticks out of your abs, and then gives you a cardio "break."  So there is a set of two or three progressive moves, hard, harder, hardest, followed by a short cardio break.  No C-seat position but no standing abs or crunches/sit ups either.  I thought Shaun T knew how to give me an ab workout in Hip Hop Abs and Cardio Abs but I was wrong. He was saving the real knowledge for Focus T25.  Say hello to more pike work, lovely pyramids that rival my favorite high-plank/low-plank work, and some workouts that made me reminisce back to high school track when we did six inches for what felt like endless minutes.  There was no burnout session but that's okay, I'm pretty burnt out anyway.  Partly due to the fact that I started my C25k today and did run/walk intervals for two and a quarter miles at the local dirt track.  I'm pretty sure I burned off that chocolate and peanut butter cake slice I had to celebrate a co-worker's birthday.  All is well with my calories again! Tomorrow is my double workout (unless I'm a wussy and save one for Saturday but I'm going to try to do them both to balance out the Mexican food I'm going to eat at a bachelorette party).  I don't usually workout extra hard just to eat like crap but I think I can take two days of celebration for friends and then work my butt of the rest of the month to show myself that one (or two) bad meals does not ruin your progress!
