Day 47 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning & Insane Abs

Workout Time: 82 minutes
Calories Burned: 843

This was a really long workout but that was because it included Insane Abs. At this point I had the option of doing Cardio Abs or Insane Abs and ofcourse I went for the tougher one. It was not that much tougher actually and it was a great workout. By the time I was ready to do the ab routine my legs were exhausted. So, I was not able to do too much without taking breaks. But that is ok.

I have a headache now after all that workout. I am probably dehydrated so remember to drink plenty of fluids and eat properly!

Day 46 of 63: Max Recovery

Workout Time: 47 minutes
Calories Burned: 340

This is my second time doing this recovery workout and I still think it is not as cardio intensive as the previous Cardio Recovery. I definitely do not sweat as much and I don't burn as many calories.

Today, however, I got a really good workout. I payed attention to what Shaun T was saying about squeezing the core muscles when doing your moves. I LOVE these balance moves such as the one where you go from low plank to high plank and etc. It works your core and your shoulders like crazy.

A lot of core exercises for sure but how else can you get a 6 pack?

Day 13 of 63: Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs.. ouch...

This workout was insane!!!

Pure cardio was a lot of cardio as usual and I couldn't finish it. That was expected. What I did not expect was a 2nd workout following Pure Cardio - the Cardio Abs. I skipped maybe a minute of the first part of Cardio Abs because I was just tired. I was even thinking of stopping it and quitting but I am glad I stuck to it. After a few minutes it was a little less cardio.

Cardio Abs is about 16 minutes long. The first 5 minutes invlolves a lot of jumping but the rest are more focused ab exercises. And, as promised "No Crunches."

Overall, Cardio Abs was fun and hard, especially following Pure Cardio!
