I started a new workout program yesterday, January 5th, 2015. I have decided to do the Sweat (cardio based) Schedule since I still have a lot of weight to lose to reach my goal. I was very excited to start this program because I was needing a change in my workouts. This schedule consists of 3 days of Sweat workouts in conjunction with the Ab Ripper exercises, 2 days of Sculpt workouts, the Saturday Special, and a rest day Sunday (I think I will do some type of workout with my husband).
Day 1 - Sweat A and Ab Ripper A
I will be honest with you...I was not thrilled with this workout. I don't know if I was underestimating my physical abilities, or what, but I thought the Sweat A workout was fairly easy. Yes, I was sweating, had my heart rate up almost the entire time, and was breathing hard, but I was expecting a little more of a challenge. Maybe I just need to go a little harder, or maybe I just need to jump up to the Sweat B workouts. As for Ab Ripper A, it was a nice change up from 10 Minute Abs from the 21 Day Fix. My major complaint with this ab workout is that Tony goes right into the different exercises without showing you what to do. So, you lose a few reps while you watch what to do before you can do the move properly. I have a similar complaint with the Sweat A workout as well. I am used to the 21 Day Fix workouts where Autumn demonstrates the moves beforehand so you know what to do before the 60 seconds begin. Since I will be doing these exercises three times a week, I will get the flow of the routine down and won't need to be reminded of how to do the moves. But, before that happens, it would have been nice. I was barely sore today from yesterday's workout, so I was hoping today's would be better.
Day 2 - Sculpt A
This workout was awesome! I did it at 8:00 this morning and am already feeling the effects of it, some sore muscles right now! This workout consisted of a lot of isometric exercises, and after today, I am excited to see how much my strength improves over the next 88 days. Tony spent a few seconds to explain how to properly do each of the moves today, a nice change from yesterday. I am really feeling as though this program will help me reach my fitness goals for the next 3 months.
