T25

I just finished insanity and started T25. Today is my first STATurday. It is quite hard, but Don't quit. You will see just after a few days that you are able to hang in a little longer. Focus on breathing and form. Go at your pace. You get results no matter what. You got this. Good luck.

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.

I hope the T25 group is not the one I was in until Gamma arrived. I was the only one at the end along with another female who was sporadic. I started the weekly topic etc just to keep myself & maybe someone else out there motivated! I just removed myself from that group last Friday! I wish you success with this program!

Week 1 Day 1 Today

Completed Alpha Cardio at 6:00 AM today Boy that was actually hard! At first I was thinking, "Yeah, I can finish this, it's just 25 minutes!". 10 minutes in I was just about ready to die and was shouting at the TV to show Tania. Haha

At one point, I literally ran out of breath and I could feel my heart pounding! I could feel it in my throat and I felt I wouldn't be able to finish anymore! So I thank the high heavens for Tania. She's an angel. I've never worked out my legs like that -- starting to get scared to do Speed 1.0 now

I'll just push play and check-in everyday To all fellow newbies, we can do this To the ones who are in Gamma Phase already, I salute you!

I'm about to start Beta, but Speed 1.0 was my favorite workout of the Alpha phase, even though I was never able to go as fast as the crew. Tania is awesome, but you're right, they don't always have her on camera when they are showing the moves so you can see the modification. It's a little annoying but the moves repeat in the different videos so once you've learned the modification it won't be as frustrating not to have her there to follow right away. Maybe on the next release they will have a workout option, music volume option, and Tania picture-in-picture option so she'll always be there in a little box on the screen, reassuring all of us that it's ok if we don't want to burpee our faces off. And Beach Body, if you end up doing that, I want a cut of the profits.

Starting day 1 week 1 today! I'm excited!

Elpozo ~ I HATE burpees too!!

I'm on my week 2 staturday and I noticed that I am an inch bigger everywhere!! I am panicking i'm a pound lighter though.... Can someone explain this? Do you think it's my diet?

@lauraaro, I'd say it is from tissue/muscle swelling from repair. When muscles get built they are like a fraying rope & it takes usually a day's rest to repair to build. This process causes swelling & also retains water to help the repair process! That is what my fitness instuction said anyways!!!
It is AWESOME to see all of the new T25'ers!!! I LOVE this series & 25 minutes is very doable!!

Today was 6 miles on bike, 30 minutes of SPEED 3.0, 125 REPS, 10 minutes of HIIT and 17 minutes of stretching.

It's day 2 for me today...day 1 went great so I'm looking forward to pushing play after I get back from dropping kids off at school!

Survived day two...realized I'm not as coordinated as I though LOL!!

I am onto my last week of Beta. I did my last EVER Core Cardio today... it has been hell knowing you Core Cardio :explode: . I am glad not to be going back there.

I just had a quick peek at Gamma Speed 3. :noway: I might have to concentrate on my coordination for a bit in that workout I think.

I have 2 more Ript circuits to go... I will miss them. Do you think the gamma extreme circuit is great too?

I think for the first few weeks of Alpha I didn't do the double day. I don't think I had time to do a double for those weeks. But now I do. It all depends on how much time I have.

Today I did a double up day because I don't have time to do the 25 minute tomorrow, I will also do a double on Friday too as per the schedule.

I wouldn't think it would make too much of a difference.

Do you guys do double day? just wondering if it makes any difference if I dont. But I do the other work out the ff day sa basically I workout everyday.

For me personally I always did the doubles. I really liked having that rest day from T25 and I could workout if I wanted to but it was my option. Some people here did split them up at times. I would recommend following the schedule if possible though for best results.

I will try double day next week thank you. The reason I was splitting them up is because i dont think I can do the 2nd workout efficiently after being exhausted from the precious one but I'll try. I miss having a rest day haha

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.

We all started "here". The first time I did Insanity I couldn't do the butt kick run nor could I touch the floor doing "hit the floors" and suicide runs. When we did the hip flexor stretches I'd have to standup and adjust my stomach over my thigh when we would switch hands. It does get better. I STILL have problems with any ab routine, be it T25, Insanity or P90X, but just keep on keeping on and it will get better!! :happy:
