    Day 1 done. This is my 1st time with Shaun T. I just completed a round of Turbo Fire. So far, I like it. Also went to a stationary rowing class today.

    Day 1 is done and can't wait for tomorrow
  • Done with Day 1 and 2. Speed 1.0 was fun, I did better than Cardio 1.0; I liked the 1 minute stretches that he gives after a high heart rate drill. Since Iam a turbo fire addict, it was nice to see a lot of hooks, punches and upper cuts in the workout.

    Overall, very happy with Day 2. Looking forward to the circuit tommorrow.

    Happy to be a part of this group, ladies!! Keep it going.
  • Speed 1.0 was great! :) I wonder if the Full Body Circuit will be very similar to Insanity?!

    I really enjoyed the Speed 1.0 workout this morning. I was kickin *ss until about the 20th minute and then I pooped out quickly! I still tried to keep up with the modified version and I just kept moving! My cardio needs a lot of help, but clearly Shaun T is gonna fix that.

    Feelin good so far! :)

    speed 1.0 was a success last night -- definitely tired me out!
  • The total body circuit was a killer! Those Planks - I was really not able to keep up with the class; the problem I had was they weren't showing enough of Tanya when I wanted to look for modifications. This was definitely a challenging workout for me! Made through it, but room for a lot of improvement in the future.

    How did it go for you, ladies?

    Ummm yeah...today was HARD! I think I'm going to watch it again before it comes up in rotation again so I can have a better idea of how to modify when I need to instead of trying to catch a glimpse of Tanya as I'm working out.

    Total Body is done, there is room for LOTS of improvement
  • Ladies, I am done with D4 today. Ab Focus - Another challenging one, I think this will get a little easy as the weeks progress, except for the Planks part (Iam obese, there is no way my hands are going to support my weight that easily), I did well. Burnt 280 calories with this. The thing I liked a lot is that there are bouts of cardio thrown in along with the ab focus drills, which pumps the heart rate more and gives a better burn :)

    Looking forward to hearing from you all as to how it went!

    Again - same!

    I don't have the shoulder/ab strength to stay in plank that long! I did mostly the modified versions... I don't feel like I got as good of a workout today since I just couldn't do some of the things. If I never had to do this one again - I'd be a happy woman. hahaha Too bad I'll be doing this one again next week. Oh well... Challenges are supposed to be challenging, right?!?

    And I agree about the cardio thrown in there. I really liked that part. For some reason I really enjoy the sprint/squat move. I think it's fun. :smile:

    I agree heygurlheyyyy the planks r a killer and I don't feel I got quiet the workout as the other days, but I'm sure I'll feel it in my abs tomorrow. Now off to do a little Zumba with my kiddos

    Some of the ab workouts were a bit too challenging for me I think I need to stretch more and I am overweight so that doesn't help but overall I definitely felt it in my core I have the same problem as some other people not being able to see Tanya so I think ill use that idea and watch it once without doing it so I know how to modify. I'm modifying a lot with these videos but I like that Shaun t doesn't make me feel bad about that I'm still dripping in sweat when I'm done so I feel like I'm getting a good workout. I will say that I did things a little different I did my stretch video yesterday because I was sore and I felt like I could use a good stretch it was a workout still I was sweatin lol but by the end I felt really amazing relaxed and my body doesn't hurt as much today :) I could do that one more than once a week good luck everyone and feel free to add me :)

    I actually watch the videos before I do them each time just so I know what I'm getting into. I find that its easier to do the workouts because you can think back to what they were doing and try to mimic rather than stare at the screen and try to get the move, just to nail it once when the interval is over.

    Having said that, I definitely got a good sweat going, both on the total body and interval abs... I'm going to TRUST and BELIEVE that Shaun T is telling the truth when he says that a good diet and 25 minutes a day will get us great bodies if we work hard and keep going.

    I have a feeling week two will be a little better -- just gotta keep it up, great job so far ladies!
  • Lower Focus is another great workout, at least I could do most of it without much modifications. I did sweat like crazy. Not sure if I can get my second workout done today as I am travelling and back only on
    Sunday. Plan to get Cardio done then. I couldn't resist weighing in this morning before the workout and I was surprised to see a 1.2 kg loss. Not sure if this is water loss. I Hadn't measured up myself last week, and so, I really don't know if some fat was lost. I will weigh in on Monday morning and let the group know the final number for Week1. Happy weekend and good luck Ladies! Can't wait to hear about your week 1 results!

    Last day of week 1!!!

    So this week has been a killer for me...I've done two days of Bootcamp (EXTREME BOOTCAMP) on top of working and Week 1 of T25...but I am not going to give up!! I am going to get both workouts done today to end Week 1 with a Bang!!!

    So this morning I get up and of course it's TOM, I eat my breakfast and think I can get t25 done. No, I had nasty cramps so I took some meds laid down...fast forward a few hrs I get up and feel OK and know I need to get the T25 double day done because I don't think I will fill like finishing if I only do one now and one later today. Well I felt like my legs were JELLO for the last 10 min of Cardio but I did it. Week 1 is done and I am looking forward to tomorrow being a rest day. Oh I was feeling the AB workout from yesterday too.
    Will be interested to see what my STATS say. I feel accomplished Keep it up everyone
