Today was the start of two-a-day workouts. In the morning I did the T25 cardio routine. This one has Shaun leading 4 cast members, Tonia (who was in the original Insanity workout, plus some of Shaun's hip-hop oriented workouts), Scott (who is Shaun's husband), Derek (who is Tonia's husband), and Christina (who is a fitness instructor and fitness model). Tonia modifies all of the moves.
The workout is set up such that you do a series of moves for about 30 seconds each move, then you do a burnout sequence in which you do some of the moves from the series going as fast as you can. Then, you do another series and another burnout. None of the moves are particularly hard, depending on your cardio fitness. T25 is really a program that was intended to prepare people for Shaun's Insanity programs, so even the unmodified exercises in T25 tend to be a bit less intense than what is in Insanity and Insanity Max 30.
The Lift 4 workout was chest and triceps, which in week 1 was the 50/50 workout. I do think that lowering the amount of weight I used for the lift portion (and moving the weight more slowly) helped a lot because even using the lower weight I could barely finish the 10 reps, especially in the last set of each block. The HIIT portion was tough. I had to modify more than I would like, but hopefully once I get to week 3, my cardio will be much better because of doing doubles.
