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.

Focus T25 Day 10 – Ab Intervals & Lower Focus
Focus T25 Day 10 wraps up today and marks two weeks doing the Focus T25 workout program! I’m really enjoying this workout this far and I can’t wait to jump into the Beta and Gamma programs. Ab Intervals is my favorite ab/core workout out of all the programs I’ve done. The burn after that workout is insane.

Focus T25 Day 9 – Alpha Cardio
Focus T25 Day 9, I’m posting this a day late since it was a late night workout. Yesterday, was a long 13 hour day of travel with flight delays and missed flights so I spent a lot of time sitting. When I finally got to workout at home last night around 9:15pm it felt good to stretch the muscles and move around. I’m really enjoying this workout so far.
Today is Day 10, Lower Focus & Ab Intervals video’s to follow.

Focus T25 Day 8 – Speed 1.0
Focus T25 Day 8 – Speed 1.0 from Montreal. It was a short and simple 25 minute workout that really got the heart rate up and added some much-needed stretching. I also added a pushup/burpee/mountain climber routine to the end to push myself a little harder tonight.

Focus T25 Day 7 – Total Body
I finally got my workout in at 8:15pm tonight after traveling for 7 hours today. My left knee was a little achy from the 5 mile run I did yesterday and the fact I was sitting on a plane for a good portion of the day. However, it was nothing that I could work through. Total Body is a decent workout and while I didn’t burn a ton of calories, the core exercises are very useful and effective.

Weight Loss Stats – A Comparison
I’ve started keeping a journal recording my Focus t25 journey. I’ll publishing my weight, body fat using my Fibit Aria Scale and my body measurements. My plan here is two-fold, keep myself accountable and have a nice visual reference to the weight loss stats and changes. I wish I would have done something similar with the other workouts I’ve done over the course of the past year.
As I was entering my measurements I went back to March 2013 when I first recorded my body measurements. One thing to note here is from January 24th, 2013 through March 29th, 2013 I had lost over 31.8 pounds already so these numbers were much higher. I’ve never actually sat down at did the math, but its shocking!
