    bezo321- stretch, stretch and stretch again! Invest in a yoga strap, loop it around a foot & lie on your back, extending your leg in the air- point and flex your foot. It helps.
  • I have started and stopped this program multiple times, typically around week three. It's a great program but def is a
    Challenging one! I am looking to really commit this next go around!

    Thanks!!!
    I will definitely try that. I have to buy a yoga strap. Is this good for legs as well as arms?

    You can get a good ankle/Achilles/calf stretch on a step or stair by raising up onto the balls of your feet and then lower your heels lower than the step and do up and down raises. Great for strengthening the muscles around the ankles.

    I'm on week 2 day 3 of Alpha!

    I find total body circuit the toughest of the workouts so far!

    I need a group of people who can start and complete Focus T 25 with me. Motivate and support each other.

    I'm on week 4! I missed last week because my knee was acting up but I'm doing 2 videos a day this week to make up for it!! It gets easier!

    I am unsure how to log the workouts in my diary. Curious to how others are logging the calories burned, or what exercise selection they are selecting from the choices provided.

    http://www.fitclick.com/calories_burned?Workout_Programs_Videos&cc=969&page=18

    I used this website. It calculates calories burned based on your weight and anout of time. I really don't believe it because it seems high so I cut it in half. Only way to really know is to wear a heart rate monitor but using this website helped me. Then you just add your own exercise

    I think however you can fit it into your schedule, do what works best for you. I know people who do 1 in the morning and 1 at night to make up for it. Others just continue their week as is.....so its up to you. But stick to it. :-)

    Today is my Week 1 day 2. My legs are killing me and I'm so not looking forward to tomorrow TBC. Who here is still doing it? What kind of results are you getting?

    Hi - this is week 3 for me. I've lost 3 pounds and have also lost about 3 inches. I'm looking forward to seeing more results as I keep going. Amazingly enough my stamina is increasing after such a short time - it's nice to see because the first few videos had me rethinking this workout!

    Focus T25 is what kicked me into high gear - I did through the Gamma Phase. I'm now a certified Group X Instructor and working on Insanity Max:30! Anyone who has questions about T25, or is struggling to finish - feel free to add me for support!

    Please tell me I'm not the only one. I did the ab interval for the first time just now. How the heck can the even the modifier put her hands next to her thighs when sitting on the ground with her feet in the air. I had to put my hands either out to the side or behind me. That wasn't easy!!!

    My 3-year-old son did some of it with me though. He did the kicks and superman. He thought it was pretty funny!!
