LesMills Combat - DONE!!

I loved this workout! The punching. The kicking. And especially the HITT (high intensity interval training). Being a 60 day program there was less variety than some of the longer workouts, but the HIIT workouts were vastly different from the more combat style workouts and that added a feeling of variety.

The instructors used a lot of catch phrases and clichés. So, much so that my husband said that he liked to think about them brainstorming phrases and betting who could say the most. That being said, most of them were pretty encouraging. There's a reason the clichés exist.

I also have to give props to Rach, as my favorite female instructor with Beachbody. No overly enthusiastic "fitness instructor I'd hate at a gym" vibes from her. That was appreciated. This was also tied to my happiness of not having to string together moves or exhibit coordination.

Results weren't as good as I'd hoped for. But with the shoulder problem (see previous blog) I did a decent amount of modifying. Hard to work the arms when certain punches hurt and push ups are impossible. Partially due to the shoulder frustrations I let myself find comfort in poor eating habits I had previously eliminated. So, I'm happy to come out of the 60 days as well as I did.

Next up Focus T25. Looking forward to only working out 25 mins a day for 5 days a week. Also looking forward to trying the 5 ingredient recipes. Hooray for a workout designed for busy people who still want results!

Every time I try to upload my picture the internet stops working, so apparently I'm not meant to share it.
