Real Focus T25 Results? Anyone got a unbiased review?

Has anyone that was completely out of shape tried this and be able to do it? I'm starting at ground zero and I'm afraid I won't even be able to do the modified version.

ME ME ME @gvizcain. Trust me I was beyond out of shape.. I posted a review a few pages back... but pretty much I got hit by a car and spent a while in a wheelchair. Eventually worked my way to a walker (that was sexy) , crutches and then a cane for another 6-8 months.
From my accident I also suffered from necrotizing fasciitis. (the flesh eating bacteria) and am now permanently missing 20% of my right leg, which is held together by skin grafts from my left leg... yeah think Frankenstein.
So YEAH.. out of shape is putting it mildly.
And YES there were things I couldn't do week one. But Tania really modifies. For instance I literately could not do 1 jumping jack (too much on my bad leg), but Tania does a stepping jack. Oh and forget about a "guy" push up. I even had trouble with the girl (kneeling) pushups as it was hard to kneel. I used the situp mat to cushion my knee. Of course this made me a bit slower than the video.
I did not start T25 to lose weight but to get into shape.
I am currently on week 2 of Beta. I didn't nail any of the Alpha workouts but I got though each one and I got stronger. I can now do 8 to 10 jumping jacks and 3 or 4 girly pushups. lol
But not bad for a girl missing a junk out of her leg and to trashed shoulders. I'll take it.
I am burning between 250-325 calories a workout... I use a Polar FT7 HRM to calculate.

I also noticed I have lost an inch off my waist and hips and I am not trying to lose weight at this point. (though I have 40 lbs to lose)
So yeah, @gvizcain, you will be FINE, I personally guarantee it. If I can handle this, anyone can. Take it at YOUR pace. Whatever that may be.
I plan on running the gambit 2,3 or as many times until I can nail it. It could take 20. There will be some moves I will never nail, but that is ok too. i will never be a professional basketball player either. I'm ok with that too.
So my suggestion is.... START...

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. :flowerforyou:

i do doubles someday...like yesterday.. and i can totallly feel it today haha

Can anyone help me. I'm on day 5 week 3. I've put weight on.. I'm sticking to the diet writing everything down. Workouts are 100% effort had to follow the modifier but now I don't. I'm gutted I've put on. I'm 189 lb so not slim what the hell is wrong

This might help hang in there. I lost nothing my first month of insanity so I gave up. Now I'm wishing I hadn't because apparently the big weight loss on these programs sometimes happens in the second month.

Don't worry. It's just water weight. Right now, your muscles are being damaged, in a good way, and retaining water to repair the damaged tissue. It's called the "enema effect" in weight training circles. Once your body realizes your new exercise routine, it will compensate and you will start to lose.

Great story! So inspirational :flowerforyou:

I'm day 2 week 3 today and I must say that I love the workout. I am seeing a very light improvement in the way I'm doing the exercises but I'm still modifying about 60% of the time, it's very hard on the cardio.

It seems that I can't do the full 25 minutes without stopping from time to time to catch my breath, otherwise my muscles don't want to work. At first it's cool but after the first 5 minutes I'm exhausted, I want to stop but continue but the muscles need a break...I figure it's ok this way too, although maybe not as efficient...

I never had a good cardio before and I got an open heart surgery 2 years ago, I also have connecting tissue disorder so I hope this program helps me, so far I don't see a big change in the cardio but I can feel my core getting harder.

Never tried other BB workouts before and I like the format of the T25, it fits well on a schedule but I think it's very though, even when modifying, Tanya is faking it!

I wonder if I shall do Alpha again without modifying before going to beta, what do you guys thinks?

How long til anyone got to see major results? I only have 9lbs left to lose so I know it will be harder as I reach my goals closer but I'm kinda getting sad because I'm on week 5 day 2 of alpha and so far I only lost 1.3 lbs. i always stay under my cals and overall I only had 1 cheat day and nothing more after, help?

I am not seeing any difference in my weight and I am on week three of the Beta phase. I will say however, that I think I may have lost inches because I bought of pair of pants a size smaller than usual, did not try them on in the store and when I tried them on at home they fit and I mean fit right, they were not tight... go figure.

So while I don't see the scale moving.. that evil thing.. I think my body is burining inches because of the fit of those pants. Seriously I would not have been able to put them on like a month or two ago.I guess that is a good thing.

I will finish beta, not sure on Gamma just yet, considering it, but not quite sure. I think I might need to change it up and do the 30 day shred as I hear there are good resutls wtih that too. We shall see. By March of 2014 i want to be down to a waist size of about 28 inches, with my body type that should be perfect.

I just finished 14 weeks (ALPHA, BETA and GAMMA) I did not do doubles EVERY Friday, at least half the time I did. I watched cals, but did go aver on weekends and followed the modifier at least 50% of the time. I could have put alot more effort into it, but I hadnt worked out in years and this was my first workout video. Please dont' mid the face especially in newest photo, I was in a nyquil coma have bee sick for a week lol

CONGRATS! You look great! And gave me hope. I am doing modifications pretty often, and thought I should do the first week twice since I was struggling. I will press on because of you though!

I am only on week 4 but I would redo. I still use the modifier sometimes and I think that is OK. Work through it and don't be discouraged. I have support and motivation group if you are interested....
You can do it!

Agreed. I'm on Week 4, Day 2 of Alpha. Haven't gotten on the scale since I started. I'm feeling tighter but not looking much different. And my diet is tight. What I have noticed is I'm getting stronger and more coordinated in the moves. I can generate a ton of intensity for the first 17 minutes, but then peter out the last 8 or so. I don't have to modify, but I am still sucking wind. I still think this workout is a good addition to whatever your primary chosen exercise regime is. Weights, Running, cycling, etc. But as far as it being your sole, primary workout regime, the jury is still out in my book. P.S. don't get me wrong, It's still a great workout and fits my needs fine. I still hit the gym for weight lifting, run, mountain and road bike.

I'm starting this week!

You look great! I hope I have enough willpower to get through beta, let alone gamma phase!

I'm currently at the end of Wekk 3 of Beta and so far, I really like Focus T25. I only weighed myself at the end of Alpha and I lost 3lbs, haven't weighed myself since and probably won't until I'm done with Beta.

As for measurements, I've only lost 1" off my waist and 3" off my hips. I feel like I would lose more once I clean up my eating. I'm actually excited to start Gamma.

I know of someone who does this T25 and she is a hard body. She does it everyday.

She is toned, slim, lean, not really shapley IMHO because she works her muscles everyday and doesn't let them rest.

She is very fit and a hard body nonetheless and based on her it definitely works. But she was already fit off of insanity before doing this. So if a hard body, dedicated exercise girl does this everyday for the last few months and loves it it must be doing something. lol
