Focus T25 by Shaun T - Just starting. Accountability and motivation.

Hollie, sometimes we all need a reminder. Was your attitude better your next workout?

Lovelyfe, welcome to the thread! You may not have made it all the way through today, but you tried. Just keep at it!

Silverbullets, congrats on finishing beta!! Will you go on to gamma?

Sapphire, still around?

My workout today was my most interrupted yet. My two year old is going through some sort of sleep regression and was out of bed every five minutes. Still got it done, but it didn't feel as hard with all of the breaks. Definitely lacked motivation though.

Hey guys!

So glad I found this thread. I am on day 12 of Alpha and want to go all the way through! I would love some help on the way. Other than checking in here, is there anyone willing to friend me so we can motivate each other?

Please help to start this t25 workout .. Is there a Cd for this or any link ..

Hey sapphire,

Just keep working hard. The results will come.

Your nutrition is a massive part so make sure that's on point but it really steps up in beta so you will definitely see some changes then.

Just gotta stick with it and keep working hard!

Good luck

Ahhh. Yesterday and today were rough. Since I'm leaving in just a few minutes to go out of town, I switched Friday and Thursday (so I could get the double workout done and leave earlier today with only Cardio to get done). I have a couple of minor, but nagging injuries (top of my left foot is pulled? sprained? Is that a thing? And an annoying glute pain), so I am overjoyed I have a couple of days to let them heal up and for me to rest. I'm hurting!

I didn't weigh myself before I started, but I did at the end of week 1. So here at the end of week 2, I lost 3 pounds. So yay.

@silverbulletsUK thanks! Your right day 4 and 5 weren't as bad. I didn't do the double day I'm splitting it up.

OMG sorry for double post but having said that I wasn't seeing any results from t25 and Chalean extreme, I've just done my measurements. Holy cow, as Chalene would say!!!

Weight has only gone down 1lb, but I've lost almost an inch from my chest and an inch from my waist. whoop whoop!!!!!

Week 4 workout 1 complete - cardio. I've also been unfaithful to Shaun T...!!

Just for kicks (and because I recently signed up for beachbody on demand and can't stop fiddling about!) I then did the first workout from the Hammer & Chisel programme - Chisel Balance. My legs feel like jelly...... The last exercise is a 1-leg deadlift row into a pistol squat and as it's balance you're obviously not meant to put your foot down between the movements (15 reps on each leg and you repeat each leg twice). I only managed 5 out of the 15 each time but I think that says more about my balance than leg strength lol.

Still H&C could be next on the list when I finish t25.

@reclaimmylife4mfp Welcome to the program and congrats in finishing week 1!

I was just going to do usual Stretch today, but it was such a beautiful day and I didn't have much going on, so did Alpha Cardio, TurboFire HIIT 30 (LOVE TF) and Stretch. So I will definetly be going for dessert at lunch today! Yay!

Thanks, and wow, how inspirational!

I've had t25 for over 6 months now and I've never made it thru more than a week. I feel I get an incredible burn and workout when I do it, but idk why I always stop. It's like I convinced myself it's too hard to find the time (sad right) even though I DO go to the gym 6 nights a week for over an hour. I've never made it past disc 4.

Do those participating and who have completed alpha and/or beta, do you recommend I give it another STRICT go? Have you seen desired losses? And how can I STAY MOTIVATED?

Maybe I need an accountabilibuddy to kick me in the butt to make sure I do them and then log them on the timeline.

Make it part of your routine! Start for alpha and use the modifier if you must! You won't know if you don't try it. I was on vacation and didn't do it for 2 weeks and it was tough getting back on track but not impossible. It really is mind over matter.

I just finished Cize and absolutely loved it and today started T25 and it was so hard! It'll get easier right guys?

cize and t25 are so different it will take a while to get used to the structure. but give it a few days and you.'ll get used to the moves and the format and it will get easier. speed 1.0 is a little less intense so you might find it less scary! I now do 2 back to back out of choice! really struggled when I first started. x

Good morning everyone!! Great to hear from all of you. Today I am pushing play in the afternoon because my partner in crime will have some great food at the office for her farewell party and she wants to do two workouts back to back so she can burn all those calories. So, as a good friend, I'll have to go along.

@relneke1992 I would wait until you actually ARE motivated to start. Everytime I started a workout without being super syched about it, I would give up a few days later. Watch a few testimony videos on youtube about T25. Get in the mood. Then find a accountability buddy. That helps so much. Me and my buddy workout together and send each other pictures of our lunch and dinner. Its fun and helps me stay on track.

@RachelRiley87 It is great to be a part of this group now! Since I wasn't here before, what were your results with the full program? And congrats!! Hope things calm down for you a bit.

@holliehatesyou Really?? Just goes to show that we all have our weaknesses and strengths. Lower Focus is fine for me. Hope you killed TBC!

@Samoora92 Yes! It does. But I am still on my third week, and for me it never gets "easy", just "easier". Stay with us!

'I just need an oblique knee push-up!' oh...is that all, Shaun T? I'm doing much better about trying the non modified exercises, like the 180* squat, but I don't see me doing an oblique knee push-up anytume soon. :-)

It's great to see so many people here! Will catch up soon.
