Real Focus T25 Results? Anyone got a unbiased review?

I just finished Alpha round and I know I've lost weight and inches, but I was dumb and didn't take starting measurements.
I'm doing Insanity instead of going to Beta, but I really, really enjoyed T25. I thought it was PERFECT for someone with a busy schedule. EVERYONE has 25 minutes!!! Shaun T is awesome, but I do need him to be a little more "bootcamp-y" than he is in T25, hence I'm doing Insanity

My husband and I only recently started Focus T25 by Beachbody. We are not in any way affiliated with Beachbody, other than using their products. My husband has not exercised in YEARS. I work out frequently to Slim in 6 by Beachbody. However, Im still overweight. I love food and sweat tea, and so does my husband. We took our measurements and weighed in. According to the program, weigh ins and measurements will be taken every saturday and we started on monday. So saturday wont be exactly a week but its our first week and Im so glad that it will be one week down, nine to go! I take Alli with high fat meals, I drink Shakeology in the morning, and I take a multivitamin at night . If anyone is interested in following my journey, add me as a friend!

I have never done any work out video in my life. I used to be very athletic weighing 153 until I got pregnant. After I had my baby, I had gained a little over 60 pounds. I'm currently at 217. Haven't worked out in over a year and I'm really thinking about ordering T25. Losing weight is long over due and I'm ready to lose the mom bod! IS T25 WORTH THE MONEY?

I really hate to be the one to say this about T25 because i love Shaun T.

I originally started doing insanity and loved every bit of it and lost 42lbs after completing. However, I still didn't have the body i was dreaming of and knew that i wouldn't be able to have the time to continue doing insanity once xmas 2013 arrived as my partner and i were expecting a baby.

T25 seemed like the best option for obvious reasons being the time. i'm currently on my second week of beta, so in other words i am on my 7th week doing T25 and, unfortunately, i haven't seen a single result. i haven't lost a single pound, nor have i seen any change in my appearance. what's worse is that, even though it is 25 minutes long, i struggle to even want to get to the end because i now have at the back of my mind that it feels like all of this is for nothing. another factor is i feel like i have lost some of my strength and stamina since starting this.

i am actively fit and try give it my all on every session, but so far i have been really disappointed. i have no doubt that this programme will work for some people and i do plan on giving my other half the dvds to help her shed the post-baby weight, but for any sceptics out there, i strongly recommend you try the insanity work out. the results are much better and for the sake of an extra 25 minutes a day, it is worth it

I absolutely love Shaun T, he is inspiring and has helped a lot of people, including me, so don't think of me as a hater. i'm just telling you how i found my experience doing the focus T25. i'm still going to complete the programme, but will most definitely be moving back to insanity after this.

I completed Alpha and did not see any results, weighed the same as before. This is disappointing because this is a major commitment of working out 6 days a week for cardio. This even took time away from my weight training and running as I really wanted to finish this. I think I will do Beta but not the 6 days a week as I still want to be able to do other workouts and can put Beta in when I want to do a high intensity cardio workout. It has made me faster and more coordinated in my movements than when I first started doing Alpha, so I guess that is a plus. I did not really have any weight to lose to begin with and have been doing alot of exercise (running and weights) for several years now so maybe it just did not stimulate my weight loss like it would someone starting from scratch or someone who had alot of pounds to lose.

Just finished week 1. I am a 6'-foot, 45 yr old male with three kids who has been in and out of gyms since the 90's. I'm not FAT but I am clearly out of shape and heavier than I should be. I started Monday at 220. 200 or less is where I should be weight wise. I graduated high-school (as an athlete) at 185.

I don't have bad knees, but years of sports and exercise make them mildly painful especially cold (I do the workout at 6:00am), and I'm doing this on my cement basement floor, so I've been doing the modified whenever there's jumping involved. As I (hopefully) lose some weight and the pain goes away I plan to do the unmodified versions.

I can generally keep up, but in a 30 second span where they (in the video) do 20 lunges I may only get 15-17 before they change to the next thing. It depends on their pace. Cadio, Speed and Abs were "easy" enough workouts (not easy but I was able to complete them and keep up). FullBody and Lower Focus required some breaks. I didn't finish FullBody, actually. Could have been lack of sleep or not enough water, but I was spent with ~8 minutes to go so I just stopped.

It certainly isn't a KILLER workout, but since I'm limited on time and I can't just "generate" an interesting workout at the gym by myself, this is a good solution. Much like a Zumba or spinning class you don't have to think. You can just "do what you're told" and get a good sweat going.

As I've read 1000 times before "bodies are built in the kitchen", so I know that "eating better" is really the key to weight loss. This workout by itself won't do ANYTHING to help you get thinner, but it IS valuable as a "get in cardio shape" tool, which I need regardless of weight loss, so even if I stay at 220 I'm certain that doing this faithfully for 10 weeks will yield athletic improvements.

I will say, however, that the stiffness and soreness I feel later (the good kind) as well as legitimate overall improvements in how I feel are effective reminders to avoid the free donuts in the office, so while the lunges won't directly shrink my gut they are playing a role by reminding me to eat better.

If anyone is interested I will update this from time to time as I progress through the program.

So if you could compare, how much harder is T25 than hip hop abs? Im unable to get rid of the last bit of fat from having my third child. I feel horrible about my body, i have been doing hip hop abs for probably about 5 months and i believe this is as far as my body is going to get. I hate my body still, but im worried i may not be able to handle the T25, is it TONS more difficult than something like hip hop abs?

Hi Lindsey.

I am currently on week 2 of the T25 workout, and I love it! The calorie burn is great, and the workout is nonstop until the end. I am a BB Coach; however, I always tell it like it is with the workouts. I've done Jillian's workouts too, and I loved those. I also ordered Spartacus, but I didn't think it was structured, so I returned it. Shaun T's workouts are by far the toughest BeachBody workouts...in my opinion. I love the time factor with T25. Have you done other BeachBody workouts? You can probably view some of the workouts on the internet somewhere. If you have any questions, I'll try and help you. Just keep pushing play, no matter which workout you choose.

I am starting T25 today and I am very anxious and excited to see how it goes.

First time poster here, too. Just started T25. Day 3 was today. And I can't believe I'm sore like this when there are no weights involved! My arms hurt, my legs hurt... but it's a "good" hurt because is means something is happening. But I am looking forward to my body adjusting so I can lift my arms again. (kidding, it's not THAT bad, but yeah, I feel it!)
