I simply did not like this segment, but others may disagree. Lows: Upper body plyo: I’ve complained about it plenty in past posts, so I may as well complain about it here as well. Cardio MMA: I found the MMA segments during the last two months to be too easy and repetitive, but the Month 3 segment was more challenging and complicated, so it wasn’t boring. I looked forward to them during all workouts. Cool downs: Both of the cool down segments are unique and paced well. Plyo: The addition of plyometics diversifies the month, making it really stand out from the previous two. Highs: A step up from Month 2: I put this as a benefit because I needed the step up, but I imagine others will find themselves unprepared for the increased challenge and may actually consider this a negative. I’ll close this entry with a rundown of my thoughts concerning Month 3. Certainly, though, I still have work to do, including those damn love handles. The differences are minute, but the are present. Somewhat disappointing though, is that if you are to scroll down to Day 60, you will probably notice that there is not much difference in appearance from day 60 to 90. Here is a before-and-after of Day 1 With Day 90.Īs you can see, and as was the case on Day 60, me then compared to me now is a case of being less round and having a flatter stomach. All that I do know is that I have gained weight, most likely in muscle mass, not in fat…or at least I’m hoping that’s the case. I decided that tracking my weight was counterproductive, so I stopped. The number of estimated pounds burned: 3.5Īgain, I did not lose any weight this month, and as a matter of fact, I gained. Workouts that involved at least one plyo routine: 22ĭifference in calories from Month 1: 881 moreĭifference in calories from Month 2: 1912 more Here is a rundown of Month 3 by the numbers: I did feel the burn during the cardio segment, but I was still able to work through all of the exercises, and the two cool-down segments were no challenge at all. Throughout this final month, the difficulty varied from workout to workout, but Day 90 is the only one that I would classify as easy. The workout consisted of the warm up, plyo cardio blast, dynamic sports stretch, and power yoga. As a matter of fact, this was the only workout with an estimated calories burned that was below the 500 mark. The hardest workout is followed by the easiest of the month. Overall, the workout just felt frustrating. By the second time through, the best I could do with the plyo push ups and plank quarter turns were modified push ups for both exercises. In hindsight, I’m not surprised that the total body and lower body plyo segments went well, but having the upper body plyo follow the total body plyo is just too much stress on my upper body. This is the one that I have been dreading, and not surprisingly, this workout ended up in the 600-Calorie Club with an estimated 604 calories burned. That’s right! I did it! I’ll get into some thoughts about Month 3 in a moment, but first I want to examine the final two days of the program.
