Real Focus T25 Results? Anyone got a unbiased review?

Hi, I've just read the many post and mixed reviews on Shaun T's Focus T25. I think i would like to try it. Is anyone interested in selling their program at a reduced cost?

Even though the workout is only 25 minutes you get great results. Its worth the investment.

Okay I am in week two of this program. Here is my background. I am in great cardio shape and very strong but have gained 25 lbs as a result of some changes in my life. I have done a ride-run-ride (10k-5k-10k) for some time coupled with speed training, TRX, and some other body weight resistance. I have been a lifelong exercise enthusiast…not addict. I purchased this to add to my routine.
Boring, boring, boring. And did I mention it was boring? Also, this is a relatively high impact routine. This is not for anyone that has had neck, back, or knee issues. I do not like this program one bit. Cardio is ridiculous and you can get the same results with interval training on the road. Ab routine is a basic difficult program but has been done a thousand times over on every fitness show and blog. It is the same deal with the lower focus. I think it is a waste of time and money. Returning it.

Can anyone share how this compares to P90X? I've been doing it for a while now (modified) and am sick to death of it! I'd love to try something new and 25 minutes sounds great. I tried Insanity and had to take a lot of breaks...I want to make sure I can do this before I purchase it.

I really love it so far. I started it yesterday so I can't really give a full review on it yet, but I will say that I think it is going to work for me. It's not boring. It's actually quite tough, and that's doing the modified for 25 minutes. But, I am also out of shape. I may incorporate some walking (treadmill or outside) to go along with it. But, for now it is all I need at the moment.

Cud you gimme the torrent link?

Thanks

If you look at my profile pic, that is from Sept to Dec. I started Focus T25 in July. I have other before and afters from earlier in 2013, but these two were in almost identical clothing.

I start Monday! Can't wait! Hoping to get back to pre pregnancy shape I love Shaun and loved Insanity before I got pregnant so I'm super excited to get my butt kicked!

It works!!

I went from 210 15% body fat to 180 and 8% body fat.

It is intense but fun.

T25 with Myfitness Pal, got me to where I wanted to be.

I started P90X3 and did not like it at all compared to T25.

Gained weight back doing P90X3. Not intense enough for me.

Stick with what works. Now I have 10 lbs I need to lose for wasitng my time with X3.

Can anyone speak to the level of impact with Focus T25? I had to stop Insanity because my old (45) knees were killing me even though cardio-wise I could do the workouts. I don't want to waste money only to find out i can't so all the plyo stuff here, too. I know there are modifiers, so any info about whether this is finally one that gets your HR up and helps you shred but can be done without the injuries from all the impact? Thanks.

There is a modifier (Tonya). I have arthritic knees and started with the modifier, but now I hardly ever have to use her. Though I've gone through 2 rounds of the basic workout and now doing the 3rd phase, Gamma, which for those interested is mostly strength workouts, except for Speed 3.0, which is great, especially if you love burpees.

Can guys here comment on how doing this workout has changed their physical appearance?

i started insanity last april and did it pretty much every day up until christmas and managed to lose 3 stone - i now currently weigh in at 12st 12lbs. however i still wasn't happy with the way my body looked after doing insanity as i had some excess fat that i have struggled to get rid of to attain that six pack and pecs and felt i may have gotten so used to doing insanity that my body wasn't changing any more.

my question is, have any guys in here swapped to focus t25 from insanity and found their body has toned up nicely?

i'm only on day 3 and like it so far, as i think Shaun T is the best thing since Mr. Motivator, but i'm finding the work outs feel a little bit too dancey for my liking and i haven't yet dabbled on any upper body strength to work the arms and pecks and my moobs are one of the key things i need rid of.

i realise going to the gym and doing weights will help too, so please don't bother pointing that out :P

So I just started the program two days ago, which puts me at Alpha Total Body Circuit today, which I haven't done yet. My honest opinion thus far is the workouts require a lot of coordination, which I DO NOT have, but as Shaun explains, speed and agility are the goals here. Those would be two amazing things for me to have and I suspect I will be a lot closer after 5 weeks of these alternating workouts.

What I like so far: I'm not kidding you when I say they go fast! I look around and I'm at below 15 minutes. I've started to figure out each exercise is done at about 1 minute's length, with some repeats. I love the variety and it makes the time go fast. Only when I'm at the last 5 minutes do I wish wish wish it was over already! But when it is I am pouring sweat, and that is a great feeling, knowing you've worked hard and have plenty to show. Speaking of variety, in the Alpha phase the workouts are repeated very few times, but it would seem enough to hammer in the skills and muscle groups. For instance, I liked Cardio much better than Speed 1.0 so far, and S1.0 is only done 4 times in the schedule. I can get through that! Finally, most of the moves feel attainable...as long as I'm watching Tania. I would say I modify 75% of the time, and my goal is to not have to eventually.

The Eh: The first morning after I woke up with this pain in my right front low calf and it hurt to walk. It has since gone away but it was odd. I know it's due to all the jumping and fancy foot work that just isn't me. The dancey moves do not entirely dominate the workouts, but they are present and I have to be careful so I don't get injured. I also work out on carpet in an apartment so wearing sneakers is usually a no-no for me, but I may have to give it a try because I really do not want to do any lasting damage. So potential for pain and questionable moves are my biggest concerns at this point.

Overall very pleased and excited for what to come with T25.

I was considering P90X but the more I research it the more I like T25. This message board has been very informative. I've been using MFP for almost 2 years now and I love it but I need a more structured workout. Thank you ????

I just started it yesterday i see lots of ppl having success in just a few weeks in so im just curious if any of you are also following the meal plan or just staying within your daily limit and eatting other stuff?
