Day 9 – Pure Cardio Pushing The Limits
Here we go again, Pure Cardio! This really is a crazy routine as you go non-stop in some insanely hard moves. While doing an exercise for 1 minute does not sound like a lot, it really is! Again, the heart of this routine is 15 minutes of 15 different exercises for 1 minute. As this was my second time through it I knew what to expect, but that didn’t make it any easier!
Once again I got through the warmup and stretches without stopping. It is still hard for sure, but I am proud that I can do that. I think I got into the second exercise before having to stop for the first time tonight. After that I just pushed myself as hard I could trying to keep my heart rate high, but safe.
Some observations about my body today is that I can say most of my muscles feel normal. My legs don’t hurt. I am starting to feel stronger in the core area which is nice, everything starts at the core. I also am feeling some soreness around my shoulders. This makes me happy because I am working that area. Part of my goal is to build muscle so I am fine with that!

Did this workout today, my arms were jelly after the last round of those crazy push up. I am always nervous with this workout, I think its cause Shaun T states that his nervous, which doesn’t not help at all and makes me immediately get butterflies in my stomach. Anyway I was sweating like crazy today! My knees are a bit sore, but other than that I am feeling GREAT.
I know, this workout is crazy for sure! I am glad to hear you are feeling great, keep it up Sara!
I just finished this workout. I know I’m a few months later than you, but I’ve been keeping track of my daily workouts, and honestly, I’m reading yours against mine to see what kind of shape I’m in! Pure Cardio this time around was so much harder for me than the first time. Maybe because I knew what was coming, maybe because I’m getting in better shape so I can push myself harder. I don’t know, but I do know that I’m getting in better shape!
I have a question, what HR levels are unsafe? It’s hard for me to do these workouts and not get my HR up really high. Any tips? I just go as long and hard as I can until I can’t anymore, and then I take a break. Is there a better way to do it?
I experienced this quite a bit where my heart rate wasn’t in “danger” level but I had nothing left to push. I think this is ok and normal and you should just push yourself as hard as you can personally and create your own measuring stick.
