45 to 50 minutes only gives me 10 to 15 minutes of down time before the workout. It's weird though because if it was an hour, I would just wake up and do it without sitting on the couch first. This will be new for me! I'm looking forward to the next phase for another reason.The workouts are shorter! It's so hard for me to motivate for a 45 to 50 minute workout. I've always done my back with my biceps since you work your biceps while you're working your back and then you just fry out the biceps when your back is done. I love Back and Bicep day! In the next phase, we do a whole day on just the back. I actually went down in one spot too because I read the paper from the previous workout wrong. I upped the weights for this workout in a couple places. At least, I hope I do! I love these workouts, but I'm just not feeling connected to the program as a whole. I think I'm going to like that a bit better. The Bulk Phase follows the same format as 21 Day Fix where Monday is the same workout each week. When I did 21 Day Fix, it seemed to go by so quickly. I just remember being done with week two thinking I was finishing up week three. I'm not even including what happened after I got sick.

For some reason, this made those first couple weeks just seem like they took forever. I worked out six days in a week, but it wan't like 21 Day Fix where Monday was always the same workout. The first phase was five days on, one day off and then five days on again. I've got five weeks of the Bulk phase to get through.

This was my last time doing Build Back and Bis until I get to the final phase which is the last three weeks. I'm optimistic that now that I'm caught up to the calendar, I will keep at it every day.

The important thing is that I picked it back up again after getting sick. It took me FIVE weeks to do it, but whatever. I've made it through three weeks of BodyBeast.
