Week 4 is done and in the books! I can't believe I have been doing this for a month already - and I am still enjoying it! I will tell you that thus far, every week has been harder than the previous. This past week was the 4th week overall but the 2nd week of full workouts, and definitely the toughest yet. As with the prior week you start with 4 minutes of a body specific workout. This can be arms, legs, core, back, etc. That is followed by 4 minutes of cardio, and then you either end at that or there might be jump rope or something else after that.
The last day of Week 4 was on Saturday and let me tell you, it was HARD! I have been having crazy busy days this past week so most of my workout have been at night. I bought some new workout clothes at Target this week and got myself all pumped and ready and then Spencer kicked my butt with a full 12 minutes of cardio! For good measure, he made sure to really kill me with both star jumps and burpees in the same session. As the sweat was pouring off of me and my legs felt like they were about to give I was cursing you Spencer. All the while my husband sat on the couch watching me and eating apple pie and ice cream. I don't want to even talk about the 4 minutes of jumping rope. I start out with one good set and after that I trip up every other jump. Eventually I just put down the rope and jumped pretending I was still using it. I am sure I looked ridiculous but it was better than constantly stopping to fix my rope.
Looking for some results? Me too! I dropped another pound so woohoo for that! Yet I have not lost any inches at all since I started 20 Second Fitness. I am wondering where the 2.5 pounds I have lost in total is coming off from if my measurements are the same? I am perplexed . Perhaps I am not measuring properly or maybe I am loosing from areas that I am not measuring. Something tells me that if I measured my bust I might see a change there.

Week 5 starts today and I know I have said it before, but I am scared! That last day of week 4 was insane for me and if that is the baseline for what this next week is going to be like, well it is going to be a rough one. But I am loving this and I am determined to get my body fit by the time vacation rolls around later this summer. 20 Second Fitness has been so easy to fit into my daily routine somewhere, even if it as night, and I am hoping this is something I can stick with for life! See yo next week!

I was given a 20 Second Fitness Program kit free of charge in order to try it out and report back on my progress. I received no monetary compensation and all thoughts and opinions are my own. Always check with your doctor first before starting any fitness routine or program.
