Focus T25 - Alpha phase

I forgot to write a post that I started Shaun T's new program: Focus T25. I'm currently on week 3 of Alpha Phase (which is Phase 1) and I'm proud to say that I've followed the calendar to a tee. I have never followed a program calendar this long, aside from Bodyrock but that's because those are only 12 minutes.

I find with most program: Turbo Fire, Insanity, etc. that I just can't commit to fitting an hour or more into my day after work. I could do it before work but honestly I don't get as good of a workout in the morning because I'm so not a morning person. I'm tired and sluggish and really just half assing my workout at that point.

I work different shifts varying from starting at 8:00AM to 10:00AM. Tomorrow I happen to start at 10:00AM so that means that I can still sleep in AND do my workout before work :) Tonight was lower focus and tomorrow morning is cardio. I love doing my workout before work because then it's out of the way for the day and I have my whole evening to do whatever I want.

Quinoa salad and hummus

I was at Costco yesterday to return some fuzzy (moldy) avocados and I wanted to pick up some hummus. On my way to the coolers I walked past their pre-mixed salads and saw this quinoa salad. I know it's more cost efficient to make it myself but I wanted something quick.

Free Workout Schedule - 1 Week

Image
This is my go-to program when I don't know what to do and when I still want results. My arms get  CARVED when I follow this program as well as my legs. I do these as circuits - meaning I do one exercise and move onto the next completing all exercises and then repeat again for as many times as I can or have time for. Aim for 2-4 rounds depending on your fitness level and time. This is a 4 day split and you can use it however fits your schedule: Day #1 - biceps, triceps, shoulders Day #2 - legs & abs Day #3 - back, chest, shoulders Day #4 - plyo & abs You can do this every day for 4 days on, 3 days off. You can do them every other day. Or you can just do it whenever you have time to do a workout! Some of the exercise do use a cable machine but you can easily swap them out for dumbbell or band exercises. Just make sure you're working the same muscles or muscle group. I love this split because it is so flexible and can work for so many people.
