Pure Cardio

I just took a sneak peek at tomorrow's workout Pure Cardio. Gotta say, I'm a little scared! OK a lot scared! Especially when about 1/3 of the way in many of the cast are having a hard time keeping up with Shaun T!! I'll probably end up in a sweaty fetal position crying in a corner by the time it's over. :sad:

I'm definately going to have to do this one after work. There's no way I'll have the energy for this at 6am.

Good luck everyone! After I finish I'll let you all know if I'm still alive. Please do the same.

    I did it today and have to say it was hard! he DOES encourage you to take a break in this one... i'd say i stopped for a swig of water 3 times but never more than 10 seconds and i kept jogging in place when i did. you will be surprised by yourself- i don't know if it is the confidence factor or fitness factor but you push harder.

    I was actually a little disappointed by today's Cardio Recovery. Don't get me wrong, I was sweating plenty and my quads are probably going to be screaming tomorrow, but I didn't feel like I burned much. I guess tomorrow will be making up for that!

    Jordan - would you say it was easier or harder than the Plyo Cardio Circuit?

    pure cardio was harder on the breathing scale but plyo felt harder on the burn scale, lol, if that makes sense?

    Yeah, I think I follow... guess I'll just have to try it out and see for myself! :)

    Definitely intense. My calves have been burning for a couple days now, I keep limping everywhere. Still, I am feeling so empowered that I am actually doing this!

    Couldn't get to Pure Cardio last night after work. I just did it now and am soaked! I had to take many breaks but I got through it! YAY! I enjoy that it's all different moves. I wear a body media armband and in 38 mins of activity (I know the workout is longer but when you take out the stretching it's only 38 mins) I burned 279 calories.

    Now I get to enjoy my protein smoothie! I'll do Plyo tomorrow. Luvin this INSANITY!!!!

    Pure Cardio is by far the hardest one so far. I love it and hate it at the same time. I lose about a pound by just sweating it out!

    Really? I think plyo cardio circuit is way harder!
