    Getting T25 for Christmas! Hubby and I are both starting it,

    Hi Robin! Welcome to the group! That is fantastic that you and your hubby are doing the program together. I think having an accountability partner there at home positions you for even better success!

    Happy Holidays,

    Josh

    Those of you who have done this before (or coach), Double Fridays and skip Saturday, or 1 Friday then 1 Saturday?
    My wife and I are discussing that the routine of every morning 25 minutes is nice, but a day off sounds nice too...

    Thanks and looking forward to doing this with you all!

    Charlie,

    Sorry for the slow response. Personally, I alternated between double Fridays and a single workout on Saturday. I think there are positives to doing either. For me, doing a single workout on Saturday helped me ensure that I didn't stray to far from the nutrition plan on the weekend. That is typically where I struggle, I do great M-F and then the weekend hits!

    With that said, it is nice being able to knock out both on Friday and being done for the weekend. I also found that doing the doubles back to back better positioned me for taking on some of the other workout programs post-T25 where the workouts are closer to a full hour. Insanity is a good example. For me, I would usually try to work in a day of "fun" on those weekends where I didn't have a T25 workout. i would usually do a hike, long walk, or a bike ride.

    Hi,

    I'm Douglas from the UK and just joined the group - just finished week 1 of T25. First time doing a calorie controlled diet; first time doing an indoor program like T25. I'm a fair weather jogger and struggle to stay in shape over the UK winter months, when it's too wet, cold or icy to want to head out...so trying something different this winter. Will also be throwing in an occasional game of squash.

    I would love to lose around 18lb - weather has already been pants for a while - and also get in shape over the winter.

    Feel free to add - and good luck to everyone starting out! :)

    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Hi all,

    I'm planning on starting out on Monday, and plan to do this program with P90x3 (since both are 1/2 hour programs). Getting up early the first few days is tough, then I'm in the habit and it's much easier!

    Hi my name is Mikeyia,

    I tend to fall off my exercise routine alot, but I recieved T25 for christmas and hopefully I can stick with the program this time. I know I can do 25 minutes a day compared to an 1hour, well I am ready and preparing myself for the best.

    Hi all. I'm Michele from PA. I'm planning to begin T25 on Jan 1. 38 years old and need to lose 40 lbs. Had a baby in April and haven't had any luck losing the weight. I've done P90X in the past and loved it but with the new baby I have little time for exercise. (I also have 3 other children and 5 step kids). I've not tried any of the workouts yet. News Years Day is a new beginning...getting back to healthy lifestyle.

    Very excited but nervous at the same time! Good luck and I will check back jan 1!

    That is awesome, I also got P90X3 for Christmas. I've done a few of the workouts and enjoy it. I love these short workout formats. I was more than halfway through P90X and find those workouts to go so SLOW after doing T25.

    It's great to have you Michele. I think you'll find these workouts to move quite a bit faster than the P90X workouts. AS much as I like that program, there seems to be a lot of "downtime" during the workouts. I'd prefer to get in, get it done, and get out!

    Glad to have you onboard!

    Hey All!

    I'm Frankie, 37yr old. Currently in the military stationed in Georgia but 7 mo out from an ACL surgery. I'm starting T25 on the 30th and will probably do p90x as well. I'm in poor shape from "taking it easy" since the surgery... and want to lose about 50 lbs. Although I could los 20 lbs an be ok.

    Good luck to all! and keep pushing play!
