T25

Cardio this morning felt great! But I'm a bit sore from doing the Core Speed disc yesterday (I, too, miss T25 on the weekends). A good sore though!
I did gain weight when I did my stats on Saturday
My measurements didn't go up, though, so I'm trying to tell myself that's fine (I know that it's fine, logically, but it's still a bummer to work so hard and see the scale go up) I'm going to work extra hard this to make that scale move back down.
I can't believe we've made it to week 4 already! As I was doing Cardio this morning, I was remembering the first week Cardio disc, where I had to pause it at least 4 times to take a break and guzzle water. It's not EASY now, but I am getting so much better! No stopping, only doing mods on the jumping moves, etc.0 -
Ladies - I'm just starting Week 2. Looking back, the hardest section for me was actually the Ab Intervals?! I have really tight hamstrings and felt it was so difficult to keep your back flat (e.g. the Sitting V exercise). Tanya didn't modify much. Anyone else have a similar problem? Or a solution? Does it get better?0

I had a similar problem, but I've noticed it's getting better. I didn't have much strength in my abs so in building that up it is helping. I'm still not able to have my legs totally straight in front of me with the flat back but it's improving. Keep working at it, as you get stronger and build up all those muscles in your core you'll start noticing it getting better! Congrats on making it to week 2
It's a great workout 0 -
Week 4 Day 2 Total Body Circuit, This is the workout that always kicks my butt! I can't believe we have to do it 3 times next week. Atleast I have Monday off from work so maybe that will help a little haha. I felt great today until the last 3 min or so, I gassed out and got really weak. I normally never have a problem working out on an empty stomach but maybe before TBC I need to have something small, an apple or banana or something. Hope everyone else's workout was great!0

Ditto this! My abs aren't strong enough to support me holding my legs out straight (I blame this on having extremely long legs though. They must be abnormally heavy, right? :P). I do the best that I can, and since my abs are screaming at the end of that disc, I figure it must be working.
Total Body done today! Can't believe we have LBF and then TBC again in the next two days - Friday is going to feel easy in comparison!0 -
Lurking on this thread. I did W1D1 of Alpha on SUNDAY and my calves are still killing me, so from reading I am thinking that's normal? When does it stop? I never thought I would long for sore thighs like where you can sit down, but I would take that over the calf soreness OMG. Speed 1.0 today. ouch0

For me the pain in my calves has never totally stopped but it's to the point where I only hurt during the workout. I feel tight after but it's not the level of pain I had at the beginning. My best advice is honestly to work through the pain. If you keep them loosened up they will heal faster. Try stretching before and after the workouts and get lots of water. After the first week of workouts you should notice an improvement. Good luck!!0 -
It will get better! You'll get stronger each week and the pain will lessen. Ab Intervals is tough! Keeping my hands right by my side and legs in the air is so difficult, but I have seen improvement each time. I'm doing a double workout tonight and even got my boyfriend to try it on vacation. We did Speed 1.0 and Total Body back to back. He's a basketball player and I thought he was going to pass out! That secretly had me cheering on the inside that it was easier for me then him 0

Week 4 Day 2 done! Total body circut was somewhat easier this morning but still have to do modified for the push ups as I dont have any upper body strength. Tomorrow lower focus..:sad:0
-
I'm on week 2 day 2 and last week - omg my calves! LOL My husband thought I was nuts because his legs didn't hurt, but his back did. I could barely walk up and down the stairs for 3 days. That was the hardest so far - this week (I'm only 2 workouts in!) hasn't been like that!!
My good friends are starting T25 as well and I specifically told her do NOT let the first few days deter you from the program. KEEP PUSHING PLAY it will get better.0 -

Yayyy lower focus!! Gotta say that is my favorite! Something is wrong with me :laugh:I'm on week 2 day 2 and last week - omg my calves!

I totally agree, you have to work through that first week. It doesn't get easy but it gets better!0 -
Does anyone get cramps in their calves? I started T25 last week and it's happening quite often0

I get that sometimes too, be sure to drink lots of water and try to stretch before and after the workouts. Seems to help a good bit. Hydration is really important with cramping though0 -
Potassium helps with cramps too. Maybe a banana?
I'm dealing with some serious DOMS here. I think I'm going to start doing the Stretch routine a couple of times a week. I did it Monday night and it really helped....0 -
I strongly recommend CALF SLEEVES (compression sleeves for your lower leg)....for anyone who hasn't done any form of intense cardio and/or lower body workouts lately and who is starting T25.0
-
I would use the aerobic general or high impact as that was I used for Insanity and this is a little lighter intensity (to me). Low impact if doing ABs only.0
-
I did Speed 1.0 and that definitely helped with the soreness in the calves. I thought I was in pretty good shape, ummm... yeah... probably not so much. Love the 25 minutes though, that's awesome.0

Week 4 Day 3 - Lower Focus - Done! My favorite of the workouts (I know I'm crazy). I love everything about this workout besides those darn calf hops. I have a hard time balancing on that one. Two more workouts left this week and then we are on to the final week of Alpha, wow!0
-
Lower Focus is the hardest of the workouts for me! But I felt great today. I was getting through those narrow and wide lunges, thinking "Oh, this isn't as bad this week", and then came the pulse and hold parts. And I thought I might die (OK, overdramatic :P). So clearly this workout still has plenty of moves to make me dig deep. Anyhow, I'm so glad it's done, and Total Body is tomorrow again!0
-
Finished lower focus but man those last 10mins seem like they take FOREVER!! Had a good burn even tho I had to stop right after the jumping jacks to change becuz well with having 3 kids my bladder doesnt hold well :laugh:0
-
My body is getting used to the workout and I have lost at least two inches and 6 lbs over the last few weeks so yippe I am going to keep at it.0

Total Body Circuit completed! I'm just a double workout away from completing week 4. Today's workout felt harder than usual, but JI'm doing less and less of the modified versions, so I'm betting that's why (walking planks are SO.MUCH.HARDER than Tanya's version!). At least it burned more calories than usual, right?
My unofficial weigh in (I only record on Saturdays) says that the pound I'd gained last week has come back off. Looking forward to busting out the measuring tape, too 0 -
I'm late checking in today. We are getting a new shower put in so this morning consisted of working out then driving to my moms to shower and get ready for work, and work has been crazy today. Tomorrow will be the same
Makes for a hectic morning. but it will be worth it when it's done. Gotta love house projects!
Anyway, finished Total Body Circuit this morning. I'm really hoping that my upper body strenght kicks in, all those push ups are killer. But each time I am able to do more and more. I can't believe we are so close to finishing Alpha! And I am already dreading 3 days of TBC next week...ouch! I am also looking forward to Saturdays weigh in and measurements, hoping for better results than last week!0 -
Great job everyone! I did Total Body and Lower Focus last night...so killer. LF gets me every time! I feel great but am hoping for better results from the Beta Phase. I feel stronger, but haven't had anymore weight loss which is always frustrating.0
-
I am on week 3 Day 3&4 (I skipped yesterday) so I am doing T25 Cardio and Lower focus tonight after work.
I have been only doing 1 on Fridays though and still haven't tried lower focus so I bet it will be killer!
Great job everyone!0 -
Hi All,
Just now seeing this thread. I am on Week 2 Day 4. Am liking the workouts so far. Looking forward to seeing the progress that my body makes as the weeks go by.
Really looking forward to my HRM arriving so that I can properly log calorie burn. Good job everyone!0 -
Week 4 completed! Yay! I am soooo sleepy from getting up at 5am for a double workout, but glad it's done. I look forward to bumming around the house tomorrow for my rest day. Oh, and stats. I am anxious to see how I'm doing0
-
Happy Friday everyone! I am sore as heck from the past couple of days working out, but am still excited for a double tonight after workout...Ab Intervals and Cardio. I've been watching Shaun T webcasts today (slow day at work lol) and he really is so inspiring. I am hoping to really focus on these last 2 days of Alpha and improve my form as I move into Beta. You ladies are all doing so great!0

Week 4 Day 5 Speed 1.0 & Abs DONE! Today was a rough day, woke up at 1am with either a stomach bug or a small case of food poisoning. And to top it off ended up with a migraine a few hours later :ohwell: Wasn't sure I'd get my workout in today, ended up missing work and resting most of the day. Started feeling a little better and decided to push through and got it done. So Week 4 is done and I'm ready for my rest day. And to top it off I get to hop in my new shower here in a bit and test it out haha.
Congrats to everyone for making it to week 5 (or whatever week you are on). Everyone is doing such an awesome job and staying committed, it's great. Thank you all for helping to motivate me to push play each day!! It's great to have a good support system and it's really appreciated!
Happy Rest Day to everyone tomorrow :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
End of week 4 Stats - Pretty happy with my week 4 results. I've lost a total of 3 lbs since last week. I lost 2.5 inches off my waist, an inch of my bust and 1/2 inch off my thighs. I can't wait till the end of week 5, I want to take new photos for the half way point of T25 and then again at the end to track how much I've changed. I think even next week I will notice a good difference in my body. Hoping everyone got some good results this week. Bring on week 5, our final week of Alpha!!0
