Hi - I am in week 3 of alpha, and loving it. I'm a very overweight - 240llbs - mum of three, aged 44. I've found alpha allows me to challenge myself and get fitter in a manageable amount of time (ie: the amount of time the kids will leave me alone!). I'm now at the stage where in cardio, speed and lower body I can do some of the non-modifier moves, and am trying to push myself all the time - total body and abs still leave me like an emotionally disturbed jellyfish by the end! Looking ahead, I am trying to decide whether to stay with alpha for a little longer before going to beta - I have gone from literally no proper exercise to this, and feel like I am still struggling with a lot of it. I'm concerned that if I go to beta, I'll feel demoralised - but if i stay on aplha for a few weeks more, don't want to lose any of the ground I have gained. My feeling is that going back to week 1 of alpha would be a regression - after battling my way up to doing 3 total body circuits a week! Any advice from more experienced Shuan T fans much appreciated!
