Last night I tried something new - I started the workout with Speed 3.0 (man, I enjoy that workout) and followed up with Extreme Circuit. I thought that was a great combo as I had my heart rate nice an elevated with 3.0 and then transitioned into a strength workout. The only problem was that my blood sugar dropped to 50…

FYI - Still plugging away. Missed a week on a business trip, unfortunately. However, I have abandoned Beta. The lunges in Beta were just too hard on my knees and thighs, so I started Gamma. I LOVE GAMMA round! I'm one week down on it and it is great. This will be my workout for a while.

Started week 7 today. Haven't missed a workout yet. Today was Dynamic Core - that is one weird workout. My HRM is acting a little wacky because at one point it said my heart rate was 230 - which then dropped to 110. I know this is a core workout, but some of the moves don't seem to work my core. I'll still do this one, but…

I finished Alpha and I'm a lot like you. I have done oblique push-ups before, but with this workout, I need to catch my breath first and I never had a chance. Lunge-squat progression is my nemesis, but that is just because of my balance. I walk through it instead of jump. I finally managed the pike-ups at the very end of…

Hey all, just saying I'm still going strong. I've almost all the weight that I gained last week (just in time for another business trip next week). Here are the results from the last 2 days: Day 25 Alpha Total Body - 453 calories Day 26 Alpha AB Intervals - 327 calories Calories have been good the last few days back in the…

You may have thought I skipped yesterday, but I just was too busy ... To post! Yesterday, Day 23 Alpha Total Body Circuit - burned 479 calories over the 29 minutes! Today, Day 24 Alpha Lower Focus (my nemesis) - burned 379 calories over the 29 minutes. I do okay with anything favoring my right leg, but my left leg is so…

Day 22 today and the start of the 4th week. Just finished Alpha Cardio today and burned 436 calories over 29 minutes. Saturday I didn't eat the greatest (I did eat significantly healthier), but I got back on track yesterday and should be able to get things done today.

Focus T25 Day 20 - Because of my eating this week, I decided to get in another workout this week. I burned 444 calories over 29 minutes. That's the good news, the bad news is that I gained 5.2 lbs this week. I was afraid of that, I'm disappointed in myself, but I'm not depressed. I was on a 3 hour time zone difference, I…

From yesterday - Day 18 Alpha Cardio - 437 calories burned this is my favorite T25 workout so far. Had to get right at it in the morning after a tiring day which is why I didn't post. Diet was good ... Until the bread pudding and it was a last minute decision. That's okay, I will be home Friday night, so I'll easily hop…

Day 17 Alpha Lower Focus - I burned 396 calories. I'm getting better at it, but even if I did it perfectly I would still hate it. Oh well, ate better yesterday. I'll see how today goes. I'm a person that likes to check my daily progress so it is hard not having a scale.

Day 16 today so it was time for some Alpha Speed 1.0. I like this workout a lot, probably because I can complete it mostly without stopping or modifying. I burned 427 calories today, but ate poorly yesterday. Today definitely will be better. Bat least I'm staying with my workouts.

Day 15 is off to a bang, because I burned 479 calories in 29 minutes on Alpha Total Body Circuit. This is my first full day on business in California. Yesterday was horrible, I ate reasonably healthy, but went over my calories and carb heavy. I think I know what to do for the trip back, plus I will be able to get in a…

Thank you, hang in there, it's been really good so far. I would encourage you to follow the meal plan. It's very difficult because you are eating so few calories compared to what you are used to. Just on my own experience I would suggest if you are looking to lose weight (and have quite a bit to lose, like me), I would…

Okay, here it is STATurday and had some great results, but first today was Day 13 AB Intervals and I burned 410 calories. This is also a difficult workout for me, but I was still able to "nail it". Okay, so for the stats. I lost a half inch from my waist, lost an inch from my thighs and gained an inch in my arms. The fun…

End of Day 12 today - Lower Focus - Burned 397 calories over this workout. This is a hard workout for me. My balance isn't the greatestm and my knees are 45 years old, so deep lunges are pretty tough. I did much better with my diet yesterday. Next week I'll be traveling to California. That means I will have some…

Hey again, yep I'm still pushing play! I did real we'll eating until dinner. Was going to go out for dinner by myself and then I ran into a colleague in the lobby. We talked and he said he was going to the Bob Evans next to the hotel. So I thought at least I could get and egg white veg omelet there so I was going to go…

The reason why I like T25 over Insanity (and I'm a graduate as well) is the time. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I burn insulin more efficiently in the evening in the morning, so when I worked out at night I needed to go into the workout with a really high blood sugar. The problem is that even if you burn that sugar off over an…

Today was Day 10 Speed 1,0 and I burned 437 calories today. Interesting test today as I will be on the road today and tomorrow. At least there is a Chipotle on the way so I'll get some good protein and black beans.

Good morning everyone! It's Day 9 of all this craziness and time for a little Total Body Workout. I burned 467 calories over the 29 minutes. In my opinion, this is the hardest workout. I needed a little help during and thank goodness Tania was on the screen with the modifications. Some good news, I'm waking up more…

Week two starts today everyone. It's time for a little Alpha Cardio. I burned 459 calories over the 29 minutes. Diet is still going strong, sticking to it even though I want to eat my weight in cookies. :). It will be a few more days for that switch in my head to click in so the diet will become easier.

I'm logging my process through and some people have posted on it. I'm only a week in and am having a blast.

Focus T25 Report Day 6 Cardio - I can see the improvements in my performance already. I have a little more endurance during the workouts so I can put in more effort. I burned 473 calories over 29 minutes! That is my best burn yet. Now on to the statistics ... I'm down 5.4 lbs since Monday! Now I know a lot of this is water…

Alright, I have made some of my food for the week. I made the quinoa (a little underdone), backed the chicken and hard boiled the eggs. The chicken is nice and peppery, yum. Tomorrow morning I make steel cut oats and apples in Captain Crock. Out of all the Beachbody workouts, the recipes in this meal plan seem to be the…

Yes I am, it is pretty tight. I'm not trying to create the long standing MFP argument, but I am eating 1600 calories per day without eating back your exercise calories. Plus, I'm sticking to a 40/40/20 protein/carb/fat ratio diet. I've been eating cleaner and also next week I'm trying some of their recipes. I'm at the…

Day 5 of Focus T25 Lower Focus - I burned 432 calories over 29 minutes (I'm including the cool down). Lower Focus Alpha is hard,, very hard. I probably put 60% effort in and I still burned as much. I've always struggled with deep lunges and this wasn't any different. I can't imagine doing another workout after this, so I'm…

Day 4 Focus T25 AB Intervals - Burned 340 calories over 29 minutes. A little lower impact today, however there were a few times I noticed my heart rate was really high. The workout was pretty good, and I did struggle in some spots, but I've always had strong abs. My core is where there are problem - I have strong abs, but…

Thank you - I'm looking forward to posting my one week results on Saturday (Staturday) - however, so far, the weight has been melting off. I think it is not only the exercise, but also following their diet plan. The nice part is, I think, once I get through the Alpha, Beta and Gamma phases, the Gamma phases may make a nice…

Day 3 Total Body Circuit - Wow, this now the most intimidating, but the most appreciated workout. There were times I couldn't even keep up with Tania. I still burned 473 calories over 29 minutes. I think it is time for a shower ... whew

Had a tiny setback this afternoon - calories still good, but had a 5 hour energy. Couldn't help it - I was becoming a zombie at my desk today. Definitely more alert this afternoon for work.

Good morning - time for day 2. I burned off about 420 calories this morning on Speed 1.0. My calves were a little sore from yesterday's workout and today they are even more sore. Still enjoying the workout, time just flies by in it. The moves were a little more "dancy" this time around, which is just fine considering I…
