    I'm on W3D3. I don't have much more to lose. but I'm still improving body shape and strength. I also incorporate running and heavy weights during the week. Once I start beta, I'll be adding insanity! Good luck to you all on your journey and feel free to add me for more motivation :)

    Cardiooooo!

    Hello everyone it would like to invite you to a group I started be using it for accountability

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/57598-focus-t25-2014


    I'm starting beta today was suppose to start yesterday during alpha I kept dropping and picking up the same 5lbs but my body did get stronger only thing I couldn't so perfectly were oblique push ups struggled with those in insanity too lol anyways cake would of moved more if I had made better food choices but beta and gamma I will definitely be discipline my self and hopefully it pays off never to late I will probably be restarting the whole workout for round 2 after beta if I don't order gamma unsure yet

    Getting ready for the second TBC of the final week of Alpha. Last few days I have tweaked my diet to add a bit more calories and a lot more water. I'm on a night shift schedule which makes it hard to be consistent with what I eat and when I eat it but I'm not going to give up!

    This is the longest I've ever stuck with a work out program, and just getting through it will be a HUGE accomplishment for me :)

    Seriously! I was expecting stretches in between like in 1.0, but nope! I had amazing energy when I was done, too!!!

    Yeah it really was an unexpected pump up, and yeah I was waiting for the stretching too. I think they intended for us to get duped :laugh:.

    Ript' circuit is not my favorite by far, felt kind of low key. But those very last moves with the leg lifts made me yell at Shaun T for the first time :blushing:.

    hey - is there a lot of jumping around on this plan? I live in a flat with thin floors and I don't want to annoy the people below me!

    thanks!

    Yes alot of jumping. Especially in Alpha. Very little of it is on the floor. Probably not a good program for your situation.

    I have never stuck with a program for long before either. I did my last Total Body of Alpha week 5 today and WOOHOO it feels GOOD to get through Alpha (I still have lower body tomorrow - just couldn't double up today....) But YAY for you and yay for me :)

    I did W1D1 yesterday (cardio) and had to modify a lot. My question to the group is this: Do you still follow the 30 day schedule, or do you repeat before going to Beta until you don't modify anymore? I do know this - I burned more calories during that 25 min than I did in a 60 min spin class.

    Good for you for getting started! After W1D3, I was SORE. But I stuck with it, and by week 2 wasn't really sore anymore. Oh, I could feel that I was working out, but not SORE like I was the first few days. I am just finishing week 5 Alpha - tomorrow is the last day for me! And even though I still modify some, especially during the burnout at the end of some of the workouts, I'm going to move onto Beta. I'm looking forward to some new workouts, actually, after doing the same ones for 5 weeks. And I'm still 'feeling it' after my 3 Total Body Circuits this week! But in a good way. :) GOOD LUCK - I hope you like this program as much as I have.

    Hey everyone, I'm doing a beta/gamma hybrid and I love the program. I completed insanity in march, did half of asylum, but had to quit 1/2 through due to shin splints so I picked up t25. I'm looking for mfp friends doing t25. I learned from insanity having friends here helps motivate each other a lot!

    I think you'll enjoy Gamma! I'm on week 7 of Gamma (4 weeks of pure gamma, in 3rd week of gamma hybrid). It is very focused on strength (I sound like ShaunT!), and has really created the muscle definition that Beta didn't. Speed 3.0 is crazy, but fun like 2.0 is.

    Good luck!

    Hi!

    I'm on the second day of Beta.speed 2.0 is kinda...crazy.
    I'm impressed of how far i've become,i can do the entire workout along with shaun and not stoping.
    I remember doing day one of alpha and thinking i was gonna die,even with the modifiers version.

    I've lost 10lbs with alpha,lets see with beta ,and..lets see if my abs start peeking out ;)

    I am new to this group but need the accountability! I started alpha a couple of weeks ago but am going to start back at W1D1 and actually do it 5 days a week. I had been skipping here and there. I also groan about TBC too, that's a hard one!

    Hi guys.

    As i've said before im on week 1 of beta,the thing is..my butt is "perky"but is a little square in the middle,i dont know if im being clear.
    Do you think lower focus helped anything in your legs/glutes?
    Because i've skipped that workout and i was doing ab intervals instead.

    I'm kinda desperate,and seriously thinking start doing it on saturdays or something.

    Good to hear. The Beta Upper Focus and Rip't Circuit are my favorites. I'm hoping Gamma is alot more like that. Speed 2.0 is pretty intense. I heard 3.0 has an insane amount of burpees! >:(

    Alpha W2 D3 - did Total body circuit last night (had to switch speed and TBC due to remote missing). The spider obliques are the worst! I'm getting better with the cardio and speed. The lower focus kills my knees though. By 20 minutes in, I'm almost ready to just stop. I do push on though.

    I know everyone is working on T25 right now, but I already know what I'm going to do after I'm done with Beta! I'm gonna start P90X3...anyone wanting to join me?! I might do a T25/P90X3 hybrid! I'll definitely need accountability buddies for that! Eek! The P90X3 challenge pack is $95 off this month and I just got mine in the mail. :-) Let me know if you're interested!

    I would recommend not skipping around. I have added a cardio here and there but always do the one assigned for the day. I absolutely love speed 2.0. Wish I could do that one every day. Good luck:wink:

    I am on week 1 of beta already completed Alpha. Beta is kicking my buttttt no lie...even while following Tanya the modifier the getting up and down off the floor is kicking me but I'm also doing it after if do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred so but I lost some inches no lie. I've broken up with the scale since the beginning of t25 so if I lost lbs (i know I did loose as my clothes fit much looser) how many I really don't know

    You should definitely do the lower focus. The order they've put the workouts in give you the best results, so swapping them out for others isn't going to give you the same results as they expect for you. My legs and glutes definitely feel a lot stronger for Beta because of doing the lower fix. I often do something on Saturday or Sunday and take the other day off...so maybe try to add that in now that you're on Beta. I think you'll see a great difference. And if you're really serious about doing the T25/P90X3 hybrid with me, let me know! It would be great to get a support group going for that, too. It wouldn't be until late June for me since I still have three weeks of T25 then a week on the beach ^_^

    Im getting "annoyed" and a little discouraged because of this,i've lost weight,and i know im losting weight but i can't see differences in my belly,i know you cant spot reduce,but i've been like this since week 2 of alpha,and i was hoping to be more ripped in the abs by now. im pretty fit but i have this last "layer"of fat that cant seem to go down ,maybe im wanting too much at the same time..lets see how i look in the final week of alpha and if i need gamma :)

    Almost done with the first week of Beta. I really like it! I don't feel as tired as I did in Alpha, more energized. After workouts I do pull-ups and pushups because I don't feel like Alpha helped my upper body strength too much. After Rip't Up I was sore in new muscles, which is always nice after a solid six weeks of working out to find new muscles that start developing.

    I still haven't seen a single change on the scale. For background I'm 5'2" and weigh 127 right now. I only really have 5-10 lbs worth of space to lose, but I was hoping to see a LITTLE bit of change on the scale by now :(

    Anyone else in Beta not losing weight yet?

    I just got P90X3 in the mail too! I got the pack with the extra workouts. I know that's what program I'm heading to next, but I'm thinking about doing Gamma after Beta before moving on to the P3. I have already started practicing pull-ups to be able to do all the crazy upper body stuff that P90 always makes you do.

    So I'll follow you into that after T25!!
