    Yesterday I had to do a 2 hr workout for another challenge. I chose a 1 hr speed walk on the TM, 45 minutes of a mixture of all the weightlifting of GAMMA and 15 minutes of the cardio moves from SPEED 3.0! My glutes were VERY sore today but I rode bike for 6 miles and did SPEED 3.0!!!

    Keep the FOCUS everyone!!!!

  • Congrats to you!! I really enjoyed Ript circuit in Beta also!! I always feel the same way on my days off also. I am actually excited to get back to it Monday mornings. Do you plan to do Gamma next? I am just starting week 2 and I love it!

    Yup, I plan on doing Gamma for sure.

    Vhuber, you are a machine! A 2hr workout, impressive.

    Week 2 day 2 Gamma Extreme Circuit Done! I am loving the calorie burn I am seeing with Gamma. Today was 316 calories in 28 min. I love extreme circuit. I even curse less toward the burped/plank moves than normal :)

    What Heart Rate monitor are you using? I'm looking into different ones and not sure which one to buy? I'm in my first week of T25 and loving it so far!

    Sounds great. I liked Alpha, I am loving Beta, and now I cant wait to get to Gamma! I did my first day of week 4. Ript Circuit... darn it, I still cant do regular push ups, I am still on the modified ones. But it is a definite improvement. I could barely do even 8 modified at the start of this program!

    Mine is on order and I can't wait for it to get here. Newbie question- sorry if this has been asked....

    Does anyone switch the double friday with the Sat rest day? IE, follow exactly M-thur, rest day on Friday, then double workout on Saturday. My Fridays are a little crazy, and Saturday generally allows for more workout time. Wondering if anyone else does this?

    Thanks

    I've done it before when I have to (I doubled workouts today since I wasn't feeling well yesterday, in fact). I think Saturday is better than not getting the double workout in, but try it according to the schedule, too and see what happens for you!
  • My workouts go from Wednesday - Sunday with Monday and Tuesdays off. I still do my double up on Friday though as I just have more time on that day.

    Does the focus T25 have a lot of jumping?
  • kawaiinekochi
    kawaiinekochi Posts: 15 Member
    Focus T25 have some jumping. I am still on my third week with the Alpha phase and there is jumping in some of the routines. If you don't want to jump, there is a modifier (Tanya!) who shows what could be done in place of jumping.
  • I'm finishing week 11 of T25. I'm on the Gamma phase :)

    Glad to see so many new faces joining in :smile: Good luck to you all in your T25 journey. Yesterday was Gamma Speed 3.0 for me, my nemesis lol. All of the burpee's in this one kill me but it feels great at the same time. Today's workout has to be pushed to the evening due to an early work meeting. Have a good one everyone!
  • YOU GUISE!

    I just had my first ab intervals workout (alpha phase, natch!) and I about DIED. I've been following Tanya the entire time, but I could barely keep up with half of her modifications today. I tried to do it the best I could but the ones where I had to lean back and let my abs keep me up killed me especially. :(

    Did any of you start with super weak abs/a significant tummy? Does it get better??!

    I'm not an exerciser at all, I've never been 'fit' or 'athletic' but my fitness goal is to get to the point where I can do insanity and then ultimately P90x.

    Please tell me it gets better! I'm about to cry, I'm so discouraged. I know that everybody has to start somewhere, and this is my 'somewhere' but it would really help if I knew someone else had been 'here', you know?

    Any advice/words of wisdom would be super helpful. :)

    It will get better!!! The more you do it and realize.... "hey! i held this five seconds longer than last time!" it's small things like that and then..... eventually you will be like "what a breeze!" :) i started out that way with cardio abs in insanity!

    Just keep doing them, they get easier as you go! But I still was following the modifier up to 50% of the time depending on the workout even after I was done with ALPHA and BETA
    I just started Gamma on Monday :) I love it! Well, except speed 3.0 ...ugh that one sucks lol

    It does get better I promise. I had a horrible time, especially with those lean back and hold things. But each time I held a little longer and a little longer. I have pretty decent core strength now and also upper body strength with the push up and stuff. Keep it up, you'll be so glad you did!

    Today was an outside 3 mile run & PYRAMID. They were both goodies!

    Yup, I promise it does get better. You WILL get stronger.

    I had upper focus and speed 2 today. Even though I do like Upper Focus, I could barely do it today... I did a yoga video the other day and my arms were still killing me from that. Annoying cos I was looking to increase the weight I was using this week. Oh well.
    Only 2 more days and I will be on my last week of Beta. I have been reading some reviews of Gamma, I am a tad nervous.

    Does anyone have the chin up bar for gamma?

    Each week gets easier even in three weeks I still struggle with the v push ups on the weights, I use 5 lbs weights so far and hoping to move up to ten when I get to the hybrid in the following for weeks. I have definatly gained definition in my arms and shoulders lost inches all over. The only program I have ever loved to do, Not really sure what I am going to do when I am done. I just started the first two weeks of gamma over for a holiday challengs so it will end with the rest of the group..

    I don't get the burn like some of you are getting on my hrm.. Must be a difference in monitors to show that much difference. I use polar Ft7 .. Are you all sticking to the 1200 calories? Are you eating more since starting gamma.?? I find I am much hungrier since starting gamma.

    Have a great day off to me some T25!! :)

    I did Insanity and now starting T25, I notice some move are from Insanity and there are new ones but it's only 25 mins a day! So it will get better! stick with it your body will thank you as you used this as a stepping stone for other fitness such as Insanity or P90X

    My wife is in the same boat, she tried Insanity and could not get thru the warm up, so me being a Beachbody Coach I ordered T25 so as to start off with this and then build up to Insanity. I am in the military so I took this the same as we do training you have to crawl first, walk then run and it works so you could look at it that way.

    My excerise consists of Hockey, running 5k's, 10k's, 10milers, and going for a half marathon next year! anything is possible once you put your mind to it!

    hope this helps!

    It gets better but not easy :) I am on round 2 of T25. First round I couldn't do anything. Each workout was hard, I modified, I took breaks. However; I had a goal to beat each video. So I worked to do 1 more lunge, 5 more secs, etc. By round 2 I nailed every workout except Total Body Circuit. Round 3 If I do round 3 I will kick its but. Its all in the mindset. Push play, push a little harder than you think you can and that well of energy you never new you had will show itself.

    There is a T25 Group set up if anyone wants to join it for daily accountability and motivation.

    You say you are on round 2, did you go back to Alpha and start all over again?
