I am considered overweight. Apparently a BMI of exactly 25 was enough to prompt my doctor at Kaiser Permanente to add “obesity” to my ongoing health conditions. While I would rather like to attribute my weight to height ratio to bulging muscles (hey, I’ve been working out!), I know that I could drop a few pounds.
I used to be thin. Well, that is until I started a desk job. In high school, my weight dropped down below 130lbs. I’ll admit it was not a healthy weight for someone 6’3″ tall. 24 years later, here I am at 200lbs. Nobody would accuse me of being thin anymore. However, few would call me fat, either. It’s not a bad weight, but I’d like to drop a few pounds.
I already go to the gym about three times per week for an hour each session. I like our trainer; she’s doing the best she can with us. But I also wanted something to do at home, every day.
Enter Focus T25.
It’s a 25 minute workout that I can do at home. The before and after pictures and stories are impressive (but then again, you never hear about those who give up after a week).
So I started it yesterday. And here’s how it goes.
Focus T25 Day 1 (Cardio)
345 calories.
Nailed it.
I started in the morning, in the living room. I actually did pretty well. If I could find the poster, I’d mark “Nailed it”. The moves were straightforward and not very advanced. I was winded a few times and had to modify, but for the most part, I could keep up. The Fitbit reported 345 calories burned, although I’m not too confident on that, especially the heart rate.
