    265lbs here and I started P90 last night (Tony Horton) and to say it was challenging would be accurate. My thighs are killing me today but i was able to get through most of it. I would imagine T25 to be similar - so make sure you have water, go as slow as you need to and stop when you have to. You can do it!

    Yeah I'm careful to not push it too far. Don't want to end up injuried.

    T25 is challenging too! I did bascially everything modified but nevermind, I did it.

    Awesome!! I'm so glad you did it! Tomorrow you may hurt, which is why everyone is suggesting a rest day here and there....even people in good shape hurt when they do something they aren't used to. But if that happens, don't decide it's not for you, k? Instead, either rest on the owie days, or "active" rest....go for walks, do light stretching multiple times through the day, use a foam roller on the parts that hurt...you can find them for pretty cheap at Shoppers or Walmart....Just don't give up if you can't walk tomorrow! I honestly can tell you my husband gets quite a chuckle because of my "oo" "ow" "owee" 's, for a good three days after I start ANY new workout program..lol....Good luck with this, after a couple of weeks you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner :smiley:

    There's no shame in modifying, you're still working damn hard. Like I said, I'm pretty fit now but still modify loads purely due to preference, I get fed up bouncing about constantly, it's just not my favourite thing. I did Gamma Pyramid on Tuesday and I still hurt today through my hamstrings and triceps but it's a good pain not injury pain.

    All that matters. Do the best you can but stick with it. You will improve and at the end of the program you'll look back and laugh and remember how much you struggled to what seems so easy now. It's a great program and I recommend you follow it as designed because there is a rhyme and reason to the order of the videos.

    I love T25. Just go for it. I still modify some of the moves. As long as you're moving, you're burning calories.

    The T25 exercises change a lot as you go through beta and gamma. In gamma you're doing something with weights 4 days a week. I liked the variety and started Beast body after gamma, which is a weight program. I do cardio separately 2-3 days a week as I love cardio, but want to be stronger. Just keep going. You'll get different things from each program.

    I did this program last year and loved it. Shaun is a great motivator and I was able to loose inches. I started of with the modifier ( Tonya), and after a few weeks, was keeping up OK. The variety was perfect for me and I did not get bored.

    I started T25 at 285. I have stayed with alpha. I still can't burpee. I can't do too much of the jumping. When I can't do, I do those leg kicks to keep moving. The one with the upper body and abs I suck lol
    I look at it that I am still moving. I'll get there and you will too! Don't delay. It's another day past of trying to get healthier

    And Shaun T is fun!

    I'm just starting T25 again and hoping to actually finish it. I never had the motivation to finish it through so I figure I can find other people who are starting and we can motivate each other to finish it through. Please feel free to add me and to motivate one another when doing these exercises!!! I just started this morning

    I started again on Alpha yesterday! Just get in and get it done. You'll ache, but it will be worth it.
