12 Weeks Down!

Blogdate: 10/10

Workout: Total Body Blast

TBB is a tough workout! A. It is looooong! And no Turbo in the middle to break it up! B. The intervals are so short and there are so many of them that you feel like you have been working out forever and haven't made a dent! C. All the up down up down on the ball standing all the ball standing and tempo changes makes it difficult to keep your energy level high- as a result, I always feel like I am being dragged through this workout.

Wow! Two weeks to go until my vacation! I cannot wait!

Workout: Total Body Blast

This is a tough workout if for no other reason than it is a full hour and all the short intervals make it seem longer than it is.

I wore my Heart Rate Monitor tonight and it said I burned 312 calories- that seems really low. I know the cardio was interspersed with sculpting intervals but even then- 40 minutes of Cardio Party burns about 450 calories (last time I checked!) and I worked really hard last night! I'll have to fiddle with the settings and make sure everything is right.

Workout: Booty Sculpt + Ab Jam

Hey, look at me! I did it! I watched Project Runway AND I got my workout in! I really should try and work out in the mornings, instead, but...

I am just not a morning person.

4 Weeks Down!

Workout: Total Body Blast

Having never done TBB before (seriously, never) there were a lot of moves that were unfamiliar to me. The workout is framed into high intensity blasts alternating legs, core, cardio, etc in about 4-5 minute intervals. I wonder if this workout is a direct progenitor of Turbo Fire?

I can't help but wonder what will be really really sore tomorrow.

ANYWAYS- 4 Weeks Down! That's 20 Workouts! What do I notice that is different?

* Stamina- I could not do 30 minutes of cardio without needing a break to catch my breath 4 weeks ago- now I am good to go the full 60 on TBB!

* Strength- When you first start Turbo and you are told to 'isolate x muscle' it is difficult to even FIND that muscle! At this point they have enough strength to isolate them. I also can feel more definition in my arms and obliques- my obliques feel noticeably leaner.

* Fit- I am fitting into my size 10 jeans and the 12s are getting too loose to wear. Yay! Other things that used to, um, rub together, are not doing so any longer.

Tomorrow is the big weigh in- I am nervous. I hope it isn't de-motivating either way! I am hoping to see 5 pounds dropped. Of the 4 weeks, I had 2 weeks of eating really well and two so-so weeks or I'd expect to see more.
