Focus T25 Day 13 – Lower Focus
I’m posting this a day later than I would have hoped and it’ll be my last post on Focus T25 for about a week. Yesterday, while doing lunges about 13 minutes into the workout my upper right leg/hip/groin muscle popped a few times. I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard and even through I stretch I need to let this rest up. I can tell it’s injured, I have full use of my leg etc. However, there is a nagging dull pain around the area of the “pops”.
I’ll take the next week off from cardio and focus on strength training and core and then pickup T25 in a week after my leg is feeling better.
BUMMED OUT!!!

My first real injury in 12 months
I’m bummed, totally and utterly bummed. I was doing Focus T25 – Lower Focus this morning and as I was going down to-do a lunge I heard a pop, snap and I fell to the floor. It was towards the inside of my right leg. Now, I have a warm uncomfortable sensation. It looks like I’ll be taking a few days off from T25 and resting my lower body and praying I didn’t do any major damage.
The good news, I can still walk and stretch. It’s just a little uncomfortable.
Bummed Out!

Focus T25 Speed 1.0 – Day 12
Today was Focus T25 Speed 1.0. This is the start of my third week and I must admit my results so far are really impressive. Speed 1.0 is a really good workout, I burned about 300 calories and pushed myself during the burnout session at the end. The great thing about Focus T25 is you can push yourself as hard as you want or use the modifier to adjust the intensity. This makes the workout perfect for a beginner or advanced person looking to tone or someone looking lose weight.
I also added in 20 minutes of upper body weight lifting today as well.

Focus T25 Day 11 – Total Body Circuit
I’m just getting around to posting this a day late. Yesterday, I went on a 3.5 mile run and did Focus T25 Day 11 Total Body Circuit and it was a stellar workout. I burned about 420 calories doing T25 since my heart rate was still elevated from the run. This is one of my favorite workouts so far in the Alpha phase, it pushes me like Insanity did.

Winter Running! I love it..
I took my new Nike winter running gear out for a test 3.5 miler today and it rocked! The temp was around 30 degree’s, with a slight wind. I kept my pace pretty steady around 8:13/mile and didn’t push myself. My left knee bothered me a little bit on the outside, IT band related I’m sure. I’m going to go back to running in the Saucony Mirage 3’s instead of the Hoka One One’s they don’t impact my knee in the same way.
