Focus T25 Day 10b (Abs)

Barely made it.

More like not even close. With the exception of Speed 1.0, the Abs workout is the most difficult for me. I try but I just can’t keep up with the planking.

The trouble starts at the down dog + spider lunge, about two minutes in. It’s a disaster from there. I could do the side plank holds, but anything with ‘V’ in the name was trouble. Everyone’s form looks so good on the video. I wish they would at least put in a beginner or every-man so it doesn’t make me feel like crap that I can’t do everything.

To make matters worse, I had to stop midway into the routine to fill my water bottle. I forgot to reset my Fitbit so there’s a section of about eight minutes with no data. Since I knew my effort was not the greatest (it was the second of the double day), I made up for it with eight minutes of stairs. You can see from the Fitbit data where I began the stair climbing. Thus, it’s not a good representation of the Focus T25 Abs routine.

Stairclimbing was my former workout. We’ve got a flight of about 20 steps. Typically, I’d aim for 100 flights per day, which meant about 35 minutes of running up and down. It’s a great workout to do; it gets my heart rate up and I can listen to music or podcasts while I work out.
