Gamma Phase BEGINS


So I have finished the 10 Week Challenge for T25 which included the Alpha Phase and the Beta Phase. What's next?! I do want to start P90x3, but I wanted to wait til next month because I want to really finish T25 through the Gamma Phase. So GAMMA PHASE IT IS!!

Gamma Phase? What is Gamma Phase and how is it different from Alpha and Beta? So Alpha Phase was building your foundation and just helping you build on your cardio. It especially really helps for people to drop weight especially. Beta Phase, some resistance training is added which in turns help to increase more fat burn by adding muscle and still dropping weight. You can make each workout as hard as you want or as easy as you want. They all have great modifiers. Gamma is a different breed and is currently kicking my BUTT!! Not only does it add resistance once again, but it keeps the speed with it. Forget about how people go to the gym and do 10-12 reps of 1 exercise at their own pace. This brings it to a real level in which you have to FOCUS. Here is what you get from the Gamma Workout.

4 Different Workouts (4 weeks)

1) Rip't Up- Strenthen and streamline your biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, and chest with Shaun T's 360ยบ upper body moves.
2) Extreme Circuit- Build lean muscle and burn fat at the same time! In this one, the weights never leave your hands. Not even for the warm up. YUP, he really does make you do heel taps with the weights hanging down. You have tension in your muscles at all times and man does Shaun T make it burn!! It's got weighted burpees and ALL!!
3) The PYRAMID- Accelerate your reps as time progresses. This really tests your strength endurance and this is my HARDEST WORKOUT YET!!! For example, you do 1 squat and then 1 hammer curl. Then you increase and do 2 squats and then 2 hammer curls and so forth until like 8-12 reps sometimes!! Doesn't sound hard right... do it and you'll see! You really get to muscle failure from this workout and I'm determine to NAIL IT by the end of these 4 weeks.
4) Speed 3.0- Faster pace, more sweat and just PLAIN INSANE! Makes Speed 1.0 and Speed 2.0 look like babies. Just when you think he made you do enough moves, that was only level 1! and then he just keeps adding more moves. By the end, I feel like jello. Gets you dripping and really works. Hopefully you have coordination and speed for this one to keep up.

Check out my progress, I am almost finished with Week 1 of the Gamma Phase :-)
