As I was nearing the end of Job-1, I was trying to figure out what to do as my next "main" workout. I decided on the "645" program, led by trainer Amoila Cesar, which is one of the newer programs in the Beachbody lineup. But, to get ready for it, I did the shorter "630" workout, which is basically a week-long series of shorter workouts (30 minutes instead of 45 minutes) that follow the same format as the longer, thirteen-week program 645.
The 630 program has workouts for six days, Monday-Saturday, and then a rest day on Sunday. M, T, Th, and Fr are strength training days in which you work lower body, total body, upper body (mostly shoulders), and total body respectively. Wednesday is a stretching/flexibility and mobility routine, and Saturday is a cardio workout.
In each of the resistance workouts, you do blocks in which you will do one or two moves. When there are two moves you do them back-to-back, then you get a 45-second rest break and you do both again. Some blocks are what are called EMOM blocks, where you do a single move for 15 reps, then you rest until the next minute starts. So, if it takes 30 seconds to do the 15 reps then you get a 30-second break. If it takes you 45 seconds, then you get 15 seconds of rest before you start again.
Ultimately, it is a good workout that is challenging. There is a modifier who performs modified versions of the moves if you need it. Cesar has a good, fun personality, and he explains and breaks down how correctly perform the exercises. The 30 minutes go by quickly in all of the workouts, and they do not ever seem to drag.
I usually did those workouts in the mornings and then the XB 15-minute stretching routines in the evening. Those were pretty much going the same way as they had been, so there is really nothing new to report on them. I am going to flip that so I do the XB routines in the morning and the 45-minute workouts in the evening. I will start updating daily again this evening.
