So far, I’ve powered my way through 6 weeks of Freeletics and it’s been a great ride so far.

They recently upgraded the app which now offers a bunch of new routines with 3 versions of each workout depending on whether you are building strength, endurance or both.

This is a welcome feature as it keeps things fresh.

Without further ado, here is my breakdown for weeks 5 + 6:

Wednesday: Push-ups (25 in 0:21) + Sit-ups (100 in 4:17)

Friday: Gaia (56:29)

Saturday: Aphrodite (34:29)

Monday: Venus (25:57)

Tuesday: Apollon (33:10)

Wednesday: Dione (53:02)

Thursday: Poseidon (14:52)

Friday: Atlas (31:45)

Monday: Gaia (54:27)

Going Vegan

I don’t know how it happened but around 5.5 weeks, I ended up going full out vegan.

Actually, I know exactly how it happened — I started watching food documentaries on Netflix like “Foodmatters” and “Forks over Knives” and became convinced that meat eating is the heart of all of humanities problems (I know easy there Imran).

And I love my meat.

But now seeing how amazing I feel — less bloated throughout the day, waking up earlier than ever before all while helping the environment — everything makes me believe I can easily keep this up for at least the remainder of the program.

Oh and I’m getting cut faster than ever.

If you are interested — watch those two documentaries and start following vegans on Instagram. You’ll find that you can actually live without meat if you surround yourself with others doing the same.

It’s really not that hard.

Reaching a Plateau

From what I’ve read and heard, Week 7 is usually designated a “Hell Week” by Freeletics Coaches.

I may be seeing why, as I have started to plateau with my times.

If you are doing this program on your own, I suggest pushing yourself past your comfort zone midway through the program and start to double up your daily workouts or do more complex routines.

I plan on doing this through weeks 7 + 8.
