First Day - Looking for Friends (T25 Anyone)

Panama_frank · October 2013

Greetings,

Today is my first day of MFP and so far I think its a great site. I hope to meet new friends for inspiration as I try to reach my fitness goals and help them along as well!!

A little extra: I just started T25 yesterday and would like any feedback if anyone has currently tried or is trying this program. If you haven't thats ok let me know what programs have worked for you!

Talk to you soon!

Hi Frank I'm in the final week, week 14 as I done gamma as well and it is an awesome workout I loved it, I'd already done Insanity and this pushed just as hard in a shorter amount of time as there isn't the long warm up stretch at the beginning and a short stretch at the end and as there is no (official) breaks you get just as much out of it as insanity. Gamma if you don't have it is more strength based so recommend if you want to work on that if just cardio i'd stick to alpha and beta

I just started T25 yesterday as well!! So far, so good! It's hard than I thought.

I'll be sure to add all of you. Look for my invite

Also, thanks for the pointers..I tried insanity for about three weeks and because of work/vacations it was hard to fit in my schedule. I'll keep everyone updated on my progression as well.

I am in week 6 of T25. I just started beta phase yesterday. It is a fantastic workout. I am a busy mom of five so getting a workout done in less than 30 minutes is great.

I'm on week 4 of T25. this is my first exercise program since (me vs car... car won) and stuck in a wheelchair for a while... anyway you can image how out of shape I am.... but hanging in there with Tanya and the modifications.

It will probably take me a few rounds of Alpha/Beta to work my way to Gamma.... but I hope to get there.

Love the 30 minute time-frame.

I have my fitbit synced with MFP so helps me monitor a bit but i still have to estimate calories some. I did find one website where a gal listed her calories burned based on Polar FT4 heart rate monitor... (I understand each persons mileage will vary). But this gives me a good start. I just list them all as Cardio.. and list them by name T25-Alpha Cardio ... etc.

From her site:

Alpha Cycle:

Cardio – 265
Speed 1.0 – 260
Total Body Circuit – 280 (this is in my opinion the most challenging but BEST Alpha workout!)
Ab Intervals – 215
Lower Focus – 200

Beta Cycle:

Core Cardio – 270
Speed 2.0 – 255
Rip’t Circuit – 230
Dynamic Core – 235
Upper Focus – 235

Would love to have some more T25 friends

If I ( a 46 year old grandmonther who was struck by a car and contracted necrotizing fasciitis and lost part of my leg) can do this, ANYONE can.

I'm on day 2 of t25, so I'm right there with you.

Today will be day 4 of T25. I haven't done a workout like this before and boy it's tough but I'm pushin through. I love that it's so fast paced. I don't even pay attention to the countdown clock on the screen I just try to keep up with Shaun T!

I've gone through the program for about 7 weeks. The Alpha phase is pretty easy, but Beta is pretty intense. It became hard for me to get the workouts in while training for a marathon. I"ve recently had an injury sideline me and take me out of the marathon (i'm dropping down to a Half instead), but i'm going to restart T25 next week. I'd love to have some friends to help keep me accountable.

Anyway, hi! and Friend request me if you want!
