T25 Week 2 Day 5 - lower focus and ab intervals


 
So today is my double day and I'm actually doing it on Friday (last week I pushed it til Saturday).  The first pic is from Ab Intervals and the second from Lower Focus. Today was brutal.  I spaced my workouts about an hour and a half apart and drank Shakeology in between.  I'm glad I didn't do them back to back or my Ab Interval would have lacked even more than it already did. I'm still struggling with balance on my lunge pivots. I need to get some core work down so I have better balance. And I keep forgetting to mention, it might be because I'm French origin but I cannot spread my toes for balance without also spreading my fingers! I catch myself doing it every time. As far as Lower Focus, at least it wasn't followed up with Cardio this week which as a lot of leg work in it also.  The Ab focus I again struggle with keeping my legs straight during the leg raises. I think this is probably due to the fact that I'm still not very flexible. Stretching needs to be more a part of my daily routine. I think I'll do the stretch exercise Saturday and Sunday this week and see how I feel (along with running!).  No running today for me. I need a break and I'm set to run two days in a row and I'm going outside and I'm going to push myself.  Supermans remain my least favorite part of this exercise. I think I'm losing some of my endurance from Insanity.  I'm not having the drive to stick it out during the burn, just taking a little rest when I put my hands and feet down on the ground.  I think I need to push myself through this because I know that's when I'm getting results, when my body is screaming that I can't do it. I need to make my mind realize I can do it, it's just uncomfortable. And it's only 25 minutes, right?! RIGHT?! This is Shaun T's gym and there ain't no coffee breaks people!!
