T25...starting Monday, January 13th

I just started the Alpha phase on Thursday! So far so good, I be dripping sweat when I finish! Most of you started weeks ago how do you like it have you seen any changes to your body?

Great start on week 4. I wish there was 2 cardio days instead of 2 total body circuits. I've gotten better at them but just can't seem to look forward to those total body circuit days.

I have never done a stretch day.....

I only burn 110 calories but it goes by quick and I enjoy it, I'm pretty sure its not needed to advance progress.

I don't know if it's needed but the stretches at the end aren't enough. Some days I also need my tiger tail (muscle massager) because my quads are tight, plus I'm also trying to loosen my calves since I get shin pain super easy

If any of you guys want to do this with a group, come join us!! Come get a copy of T-25 and we'll go through this together!

Oh my God this seems hard just reading all the comments. Love the energy here though. I did p90x two years back and then really fell off the wagon. Haven't worked out for a long time. Need to lose 60 pounds to be healthy and happy. Have started using MFP again. Lost close to 10 pounds. Haven't started working out and actually don't know how to start again weird as that may be. Have been thinking about T25, but am soooooo nervous!

If was easy it wouldn't be worth it. I am pretty out of shape and have 40ish lbs to lose. I have lots of room to grow with the program.

Week 4, Day 2 and 3 done. Total Body Circuit is still super-hard for me since my upper strength is still pathetic, I even struggle with the downward dog. As a consequence, my arms are where I'm seeing the best results so far
Lower focus is hard but OK, except for squat/lunge pulses... damn, they kill me every time!

So then you're super excited for week 5 day 5?? Total body AND lower focus

I don't know if it's needed but the stretches at the end aren't enough. Some days I also need my tiger tail (muscle massager) because my quads are tight, plus I'm also trying to loosen my calves since I get shin pain super easy

I use the UComfy for my calves and feet. (quads are fine)

Week 4, Day 2 and 3 done.

Seeing how early you post that you are done every day guilts me into the next workout so thanks. lol

Ahahah don't worry, I live in Europe!

I did W3D1&D2, Total Body & Speed 1.0 last night (have meetings later in the week & no time to work out those days). I actually stayed in plank for a little bit! I couldn't do any of the moves from there, but week 1 I couldn't hold myself up at all so I'm happy with that improvement.

Week 4, Day 2 and 3 done. Total Body Circuit is still super-hard for me since my upper strength is still pathetic, I even struggle with the downward dog. As a consequence, my arms are where I'm seeing the best results so far
Lower focus is hard but OK, except for squat/lunge pulses... damn, they kill me every time!

I consider myself to be very capable when it comes to upper body strength and I struggle with the TBC so don't hang your head at all. Keep pushing and stay focused.

Alpha round of T25 is complete and today is rest day! Yay! Here are my Alpha results:
180.5 lbs to 174.5 lbs
Bust: 40" to 39.25"
Waist: 33.75" to 32.75"
Hips: 40" to 38.75"
Arm: 13" to 12.5"
Thigh: 24" to 23.25"

Overall I'm pretty happy so far! I was hoping for a bit more weight loss, but a little over a pound a week is perfectly healthy and sustainable. If I lose five more pounds in Beta and then in Gamma, I'll be halfway to my goal.

That is awesome!! Great job

Are you following the diet plan? (I don't remember if you said it before but I'm on my iPhone and it's hard reading back)

I'm not following the diet plan, no. I'm vegan, so it would really limit my options. For most of alpha I was eating 1650 calories plus some or most of my exercise cals back. I reduced that a few days ago to 1500 plus half of exercise cals, so we'll see if that changes anything when I weigh in on Saturday. Trial and error!

I'm in the middle of week 5 Alpha! Glaring daggers at the endless total body circuits, by far my least favorite workout...

I haven't seen any visible results yet, but I only started recording measurements last week because I was too embarrassed before then to even bring myself to go that far. I'm hoping desperately that I can lose a few pounds during the beta month!

Can anyone tell me how much more ramped up the beta workouts are? I've actually been doing T25 as a supplementary workout in the mornings, not my main workout for the day, and I'm a little worried the beta/gamma workouts will tire me out enough it'll interfere with my performance in my "real" workout for the day.

Total Body Circuit KILLS me everytime. When he grabs that blonde lady's hips when doing those burpees I'm all O.o

I could probably enjoy burpees and pike-ups if he grabbed my hips. For educational purposes, of course.
I know he's gay but it doesn't mean I'm blind :laugh:
(just did another TBC and my brain is shutting down, yes)

I can see how this could help, educationally speaking of course. lol
