For those who have done other Shaun T workouts, what do you think of the new T25 that is coming out? Will you give it a shot? I love Insanity, Asylum 1 and Asylum 2, I just don't know if I can buy into this. 25 mins really isn't that long to get a really good workout in. My feeling this is for people that don't want to put in the time and do a full workout...

Thoughts...

    .... I just don't know if I can buy into this. 25 mins really isn't that long to get a really good workout in. My feeling this is for people that don't want to put in the time and do a full workout...


    This is sort of insulting. 25 minutes is plenty of time for a good workout, if one puts in the work. Most of my weight workouts are done in 25 minutes or less, and I put in a lot of effort. Also, depending on the length/intensity of my run, I can be done in 25 minutes. Longer doesn't necessarily = better for a workout.

    I don't really know a lot about Shaun T's work outs, I have done some Hip Hop Abs cardio, and it was pretty intense, so maybe this is too, who knows.

    I will be interested to see this new program too. I hear it is non stop so 25 min may be a good work out. I agree, its hard to imagine getting as much of a work out as we are used to with Insanity, Asylum or P90X. The good thing is we can give it a try and return it if it isn't what we like...that's the great thing about BB products :)

    Sorry didn't mean to be insulting. I was comparing it to a workout like Insanity in 25mins as they are advertising. I agree 25mins you can get a decent workout in. Generally when I go running it's for 25 mins and I have great burns.

    I'm not quite sure why some people are so negative towards BeachBody products... I know for a fact they work and millions of people seem to agree!

    Save yourself a few hundred ( I am assuming price as I did not go to the site ), and go do some sprints or hill runs.

    Will it basically be Pure Cardio from Insanity over and over?

    I am sure it will be a lot like Pure Cardio with no breaks. But Asylum has very little breaks and the workouts are longer so for me personally I feel like it would be step backwards

    I wouldn't mind giving this a try...I like Insanity but due to my schedule would prefer something shorter. So we'll see when it comes out.

    Ha, ha. Well, some companies are making a killing on the short workout method.
    Beachbody - 10 minute trainer
    Jillian's Body Revolution
    JNL Fusion
    Jillian's Ripped in 30
    I'm sure there are others.
    I think Beachbody is going after the folks who don't want to workout 45 mins+.

    LOL, join a goPerformance class and tell me 25 minutes is not enough....I bet you will change you mind. Just sayin.

    I want to look into it a bit more before I buy. I want to know how many different workouts there are and how long the program is. I like the results I've gotten from Insanity (finishing round 2 on Saturday) but spending an hour or more 6 days a week is a bit much while working full time and trying to start a business. I'm getting a treadmill to start C25K (I live in the south, I am NOT running in 100+ degree weather) after I finish Insanity but I'm already looking into what to do after that.

    knowing shaun t, i think it will be a brutal *kitten* burner. he doesnt promote crappy workouts and seems like a genuine person... if he is putting his name on this program, i KNOW it will be good. i will be trying it out this summer...

    Directly from an interview with Shaun T
    So there is a difference between this and Insanity

    "What’s the ONE thing that sets FOCUS T25 apart, Shaun?

    This 25-minute workout is jam-packed with everything you need to get an amazing workout with minimum equipment. It’s not overwhelming.

    A lot of people think because it’s me it’s going be like INSANITY®, high intensity interval training—but really, it’s “progressive training.” Just when you think your body can’t take it anymore, I drop down the intensity level, but still focus on the muscle group we’re working on. No nonsense. No rest. Just results.

    Does FOCUS T25™ have a modification option?

    Yes. A lot people have said “I love working out with you, but I wish I had a modifier.” I made sure this workout has one: Tania. She’s very popular in the Insanity world. She just had a baby, and lost the baby weight with FOCUS T25. She’s someone that people can follow if they’re new to working out, and still get amazing results.

    that You Tube video looks amazing! I work full-time, have 2 very busy kids and a very active life. 25 minutes 5 x a week suits me just fine and if I can get the results those people in the test group got, well count me in!!!

    I don't know if I can buy into this yet...I guess I will have to wait and see...

    BTW...does Shaun T look like he has slimmed down since the Asylum's?!?

    I'm on Day 4 of the program and let me tell you, it is super intense! I recently finished my 2nd round of Insanity so I'm no stranger to the instensity of Shaun T's workouts. This one does DELIVER! The point of this program is to FOCUS for 25min and you will get the benefit of an hour long program. My floors are covered in SWEAT after 25 minutes so I know I'm working hard.

    First five weeks I lost 8 inches doing T25 up 2.6 lbs (muscle). Only 1/4 thru beta and I have lost those 2.6 lbs. I will take it. This program is awesome! Even if it is only 25 minutes a day! Nutrition is the key to this as well ppl!!!

    So how are you guys tracking your exercises in the Calorie Counter app? I had a friend of mine who's been using the app version of the site to track what they do, and it seems like an awesome app in that it tracks a LOT of foods that we eat but know we shouldn't, it just doesn't seem to have any way for me to enter my P90X, Insanity workouts so that I can get my calorie counts and know what my net intake/output is and know i'm doing all the right things.

    Asylum is long but styled differently from T25. T25 is def an intense workout and great especially if you don't have too much time. It is long enough to maximize fat burn without going past of using other fuel reserves and concerns of plateau. It's my am cardio before work.

    I enjoyed T25, and felt I got a good burn from it, I just felt it was lacking.
    Lacking in dedication to any specific area (i.e., upper body, lower body, core, etc.).

    It jumps so quickly from move to move that I just don't feel like any particular part of me is getting the attention it deserves, which is pretty much par for the course for all of Shaun T's workouts. Don't get me wrong, his workouts are awesome and *kitten*-kicking, but I think the pace of things is more of a novelty and less of a workout that someone should maintain in the long term.

    It's no wonder that no matter what new workouts I try from Beachbody, I always wind up back to the original.......P90X.

    I've tried all the Alpha and Beta discs. I love how it improves your core strength but not impressed so far with the upper body stuff. Maybe Gamma goes into that more, but I haven't ordered that yet.
