Freeletics Coach: Week 12 Freeletics Coach: Week 13

Today marks the end of my Freeletics Coach journey. I did not manage to complete all 15 weeks.. This is probably due to poor planning. However, on the weeks I did not do Freeletics, I was probably doing weight training =P (except that one week when I attempted to eat the whole of Singapore XD)

Start of Week 0 //  end of Week 13:2014.10.05 - wk0v13 notenseMy Week  12 Freeletics coach sessions were:

  1. Venus (35.43*)
  2. Gaia 8/10 (46:39)
  3. Aphrodite (40:52*), Metis x2 STR (23:04)

My Week  13 Freeletics coach sessions were:

  1. Hades (41:34*)
  2. Poseiden x2, but I only did 1 (08:47)

The new coach system introduced the option to choose how many sessions you want a week, this was good for me as it allowed me to do Freeletics around weight training.

Review: Freeletics was a wonderful start for me, kicked my ass into gear and got me motivated for the beginning of my weight loss journey. Over the first 10 weeks, I competed against my time. I thrived on beating my own PB.

However, with the introduction of the new coach system, all my PBs were wiped and I could feel my motivation begin to dwindle. So all the results I worked hard for over the last 10 weeks were wiped off and I had nothing to compete against. I also knew I was not going to continue on with coach as I won’t be able to run in a town that averages 18m of snow in 5 months.

I began to focus on weight training, while looking to youtube channels or back to Jillian Michaels for cardio based training.

Status: Very pleased. But let’s keep improving!

Freeletics Coach: Week 11

rant I swapped over to the new Coach this week.. I was not pleased with the new set up. What is this running bs? Firstly, I didn’t pay you to tell me to run 8km! Secondly, I live in a place where snow covers the roads for half the year, I am not going to pay for access to a boring ass treadmill. Why is there no option to not have running? ok /rant

So, this week was still Singapore food fueled high. I don’t expect my results to have improved! But no regrets! Singaporeans need all these delicious foods! It is just inbuilt into our DNA! Durian, mooncakes, nonya bazhang, jweekueh, all the kuehs, satay, coffee ribs.. I can keep going on an on!!

With the heat and humidity, I found it really hard to do any exercise.. even by 9am it was waaayyy too hot. Apparently, Singapore army actually bans outdoor exercising between 11am and 3pm due to possible death by heatstroke =P So I completed Week 11 over two weeks….

My Week  11 Freeletics coach sessions were:

  1. Isis (45:55)
  2. PushUp 50 (03:18*), SitUp 100 (06:49*), Frogger 50 (04:15*), Iris (47:52)
  3. 8km run (omitted, submitted a random time)
  4. Apollon 2/3 Edurance (20:29*), Venus (28:16)
  5. Kentauros (57:10*)

Status at the end of Singapore: Mooncake XD

After attempting to eat Singapore and a week later (today):2014.09.21

Freeletics Coach: Week 10 Pure & Lean: Week 5

This week’s results are dismal! I didn’t even bother taking any comparison photos.. I am currently on a 2 week holiday.. food holiday in Singapore XD hahah

This week I had 5 Freeletics sessions, that I squeezed into 3 days as I was travelling, and just didn’t really have much time… My Week  10 Freeletics coach sessions were:

  1. Atlas (42:05*)
  2. Ares (10:00), SplitLungeMAX (90*)
  3. Hyperion (23:28)
  4. Atlas (41:52*)
  5. Ares (09:09), SplitLungeMAX (95*)

I combined Atlas, Ares and SplitMAX into one day sessions. Unfortunately, I did not have access to a pullup bar/surface, so I had to complete Ares with either raised pushups or tricep dips.

Needless to say, my structured eating went out the window! pure wk5
