Physically I still feel like this program challenges me. I don't get as sore after doing the workout as I did on week 1 or even week 2 so I know that my body is somewhat getting use to it. Once I start the workout I really try to push myself because it is such a short workout and when I finish I always am glad that I did. The core workout that is combined with the cardio day is hard. I think I will always struggle with Core 2 because of the amount of reps that we do but I try my best and take breaks as needed. I would say what's hardest for my physically is that there isn't that much stretching and you need to do that on your own. I haven't been the best at doing it and have noticed that I am getting tighter. So having said that I will try to stretch more these last 2 1/2 weeks.
Mentally, I would say that because of the shorter workouts I can pretty much tell myself to get up and get them done. Sometimes I wish there were more variety but that is all in my head because once I push play I enjoy each workout and try my hardest. What has also been hard mentally is I haven't seen a big difference on the scale but that's why it is so important to take measurements. They don't lie. So at the 4 week mark when I retook measurements and had lost over 4 inches total that really put things into perspective for me. I also had to take a step back from food mentally. I had to give myself some really strict rules to follow so that I don't cheat. I did this a little over a week ago and have done really well. So no sugar for me!!
So, in conclusion. I really really like this program. It's physically demanding but short and mentally not super tough for me. I'm seeing results overall and I'm happy. I've only missed 4 workouts total and some of those have been on days that I've already ridden Bella and had personal training so I didn't feel the need to workout again.
