Week 1 Tips

I'm using the modifier a lot as well. My knees hurt no clicking though. I'm making my goal to no longer need to modify by the end of week 3.So, I finished the entire week of T25 (even with that terrible two workouts in one day bit!). I find myself having to do the modifier for almost every day. I am getting a weird sort of clicking noise in my knees. Ah! Does anyone else have this strange problem? I hope as I lose weight and get more flexible that it goes away....
Other than that pesky problem, I feel great (read: sore)!0 -
Day four done. Much nicer to me than the other ones.
I really like reading everything that all of you pot here. Thanks for all the information.

Day 4 - Ab Intervals - DONE! My body does not do pretty 'V' sits, and I'm lucky to get my feet 10 inches off the mat. But I got it done! I will be sore tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Day 1-4 done with heavy panting and quite a bit of following the modifier but I got sick on day 5 so starting over with day 1 today.
Starting measurements:
Weight = 139lbs
Waist = 29"
Hips = 36"
Arms = 12"
Thighs= 23"
Chest = 36"0 -
Great job everyone! Just finished Week 2, Day 3 - Speed 1.0. I'm definitely not as quick as Shaun doing the burpees (well or anything else for that matter) - but I do give it my best effort!
I'm logging my workouts as aerobic, high intensity or circuit training, general - depending on which workout I do. Today was aerobic, high intensity and I think I burned 226 calories. I have an HRM ordered and is on it's way. I'm a little worried I've totally over estimating my calorie burn.
I hope by the time I'm in week 4 or 5 I can say "Nailed It" on at least a couple of the workouts!
Happy Hump Day! Hope everyone has a great one!0 -

I'm right there too. I'm getting rid of a cold and the workout was really tough on me with all the hopping and whatnot, so I modified a good amount of the time. I keep reminding myself that I am doing more than I've ever done, which is what really matters in the end. Keep going guys!0 -
this is my last week of alpha phase and its much easier than in the beginning - but 3 total body circuits this week... well two more.. have MERCY...
Yeah not looking forward to this.0 -
it seems we are all SUPER hard on ourselves and we need to be kinder eh? this is REALLY hard and we are doing it! Pushing play every day and modifying or not, we have all committed to making changes that are amazing for our phsyical and emotional wellbeing.
I'm proud of all us ... and I'll say it despite it being so hard to feel sometimes... I'm proud of me too!!
In two days I'll have finsihed alpha phase.... it wasn't always pretty or perfect but I did it
And that's HUGE!!
So let's try to give ourselves permission to be less than perfect and to take credit for what we DO do.. show up, push play, give it the best we have and rinse, lather, repeat...
Happy Wednesday!

I worked late tonight. So I will have to do the cardio one tomorrow. This should have been day five of week one. But it ended up being 4.5! I did get the lower body DVD done. I have always had strong legs, and I was still crying like a teenager half way through. I pushed through my adolescent temper tantrum and finished strong. Great going team!

I took today as my REST DAY (STATurday) and will continue with the workout tomorrow. Everyone is doing a fabulous job!

I got Lower Focus and Cardio done today. Lower Focus was a killer, and I was really modifying by the end of Cardio.
Everyone have a great Friday!

I caught a cold on day 5 of week 1 and have missed workouts for the last week. I'm finally feeling better, do i start where i left off, make up the workouts so i'm back on track, or skip to where i should be today?0

Start over. It might be a challenge. But it really is just a way to get into a habit of working out for the rest of your life. Not just for this challenge either. And one more week of Alpha will just get you really ready for the next step. Heck I might just do an extra week. And since you are just getting over the cold, you might not be at your best the first week.
