Gamma T25, anyone started this week?

I actually did 2.0 speed today, I missed the moves and I can do it better. I did do Gamma core/weights though. It's could to grow with the program, it it was easy, there would be nothing to work on. (at least I tell myself that)

Probably do Speed 2.0 tonight...legs are surprisingly sore today after the Gamma Pyramid last night. The body-weight exercises still kick my butt more than the ones with the weights; not sure if that means I should up my barbell weight or just get onto losing my other 20 pounds :-D

Yeah, If I could nail all these workouts, I'd be bored with them. Still having fun figuring out all of the techniques.

I am one week into Alpha and have a ways to go yet lol. BUT I did just order Gamma and I'm pretty excited to see the entire program through. :drinker:

Good luck to everyone! :flowerforyou:

@RoseTears143 your results so far look awesome.

thank you!!

Went from Alpha, straight into Beta; now I'm in my first week of Gamma, loving the challenge, and the soreness has me looking forward to results. Anybody have any data on what kind of calories you're burning during this phase?

It depends on your height, weight, and exertion. Do you have a HRM? I have the Polar H7 HRM, I'm pretty heavy (205 right now) and 5'6"...I burn about 300-400 cals during a workout depending on which one i'm doing. And my heart rate stays pretty high throughout.

I'd suggest getting a HRM to help track what you burn during exercise. Definitely worth the investment!

All workouts included the cooldown after

I did Gamma Pyramid today...I like it although that "11" rep killed me and I was more tired with the pushups today. It makes me feel strong but I do think he rushes too much at times. When he says in one DVD, we are doing this side faster, I think "why" is the timer going to fast? : )
I like the Dvd's a lot but if you aren't used to this type of exercise or haven't had someone show you good form, I don't think he does that as well. You are expected to know certain things going in.

I can see me using this set on and off for a long time though, maybe not all of them but definitely a keeper.

I have just started my second week of gamma and I can't believe how much harder than alpha and beta these workouts are. On alpha/beta if I missed a day due to work I could easily just double up with gamma I don't feel I could with gamma. At the end of the workouts I am shaking. I was also running alongside alpha/beta but won't be with gamma . I do suffer from fibromyalgia and am having a flare up at the moment so that would account for some of it but I do feel it is much harder too. I also agree that in parts he goes too fast I am still getting up from the floor and he has already started with the weights. That being said I am enjoying it and looking forward to finding it easier but I don't think it will ever be easy.

Thanks everyone who replied on the Calories Burned! I was just curious to see if anyone else is burning more/less/same into Gamma as compared to Alpha and Beta. I find Alpha and Beta burned more fat/calories, while in Gamma I'm burning a little less calories, but not in a bad way as I am gaining muscle strength. Anyone have anything to share in that regard, as to what you're experiencing when comparing calorie burn during Gamma?

I think that's generally accurate since Gamma isn't as cardio-heavy. I think the only Gamma workout that I'm breaking 300 calories is Speed 3.0, the others I'm generally between 240-280.
