Focus T25 - Alpha: Day 1...Nailed it!

Focus T25 - Alpha: Day 1 Cardio...Nailed It!


Shaun T must be CrAy-Z if he thinks I am going to get a solid workout in only 25 minutes.  I've endured some intense experiences: survived 2 bouts of Insanity, clawed through a Tough Mudder course, taught kindergarten for 5 years, and now Shaun T thinks a merely 25 minutes per day will be enough.  Ha!  I laugh in the face of danger!  This will be a nice break from my grueling 50 minute sessions.  Ugh...If I've learned anything over the course of my BeachBody career it's "the only thing worse than doubting Shaun T is taunting him".

1:00  - This is cardio?  We are going too slow...
2:00  - Ridiculous, I can't believe this workout is this slow
3:00  - Picked up pace, but muscles are already tired from all that slow muscle movement
4:00  - Can't believe I complained...NEVER TAUNT T!!!!
5:00  - Holy crap, I have 20 more minutes of this?
6:00  - eh?  No water break?  Stretching break?  Towel break?  Standing break?
7:00  - Refocus, go hard or go home...oh wait, I am home...
8:00  - My dog enters the room laughs and walks away
9:00  - Need a :10 towel break to drain the sweat pool in my room
10:00 - Refocused & picked up the vintensity level
15:00 - Maybe I shouldn't have jumped right to Alpha level...wait, what?  This IS the beginner level?
20:00 - Tough it out.  Tania just had a baby and she is smiling while working out, you can smile too.
23:00 - Drag your ass to the finish line.  Only 2 more minutes!!!!
24:00 - Still no stretching break?  Ah, push it! Push it real good
25:00 - Whew!  Nailed It!

Bonus 3 minutes of stretching.

The workout was intense, but short.  I felt great the rest of the day.  Despite the difficulty, I am still skeptical that the program will keep up its toughness level after a week or two.  I know, I know..."Come on Vince, don't you ever learn?  NEVER TAUNT "T""!

Anyone else up for the challenge?  Improve your fitness...25 minutes a day!


GET IT DONE. GET IT NOW.
