Day 3 in beta, tried the workout band and had to pause the dvd and run and grab the 10 lb weights. 247 calories burned

I love love love beta 2.0. Those quick changes make the workout so fast. I couldn't believe the time was up.

I am no expert, but I would say ride the wave. If you are new to exercise and enjoying yourself and best of all feeling better, keep it up. We all go through phases or stages. Your body will tell you when it's time for a change. You may find in time you will want to increase intensity, change exercise or just tweak what…

woohoo! very happy for you. :smile:

I did my double work out this morning................... and it wasn't bad. :happy: All that's standing between me and beta is an easy Sunday stretch day. Woohoo!

Wow! And I'm complaining about Friday. lol Very Impressive!

Got thru my 2nd total body circuit in week 5. Day 3 done. Soo not looking forward to double workout Friday. But I am 1 day closer to beta workouts and after reading all the comments, I am looking forward to that.

It really is hard for moms to change their habits. For years we pick up a special food or bake or cook something sinfully delicious and as moms and wives gets oooo's and awww's as we are pleasing people. Its hard to find an alternate option to please our loved ones when this has been the go to habit for so long. I am in no…

Oh no, hope you have a speedy recovery. Now I have to get thru the 3 total body circuits in week 5 so I can start beta too. Day 1 done. :smile:

A big congratulations on finishing Alpha! Hows the beta going?

That's impressive. I think the way I WAS progressing I would have had a similar experience but regretfully I took 2 weeks off instead of one and starting week 5 with total body circuit with that much time off was do-able but boy did I feel it. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be back to where I was so I can jump…

Fantastic! Well done!

I average 270 on the cardio T25 give or take a couple calories. I have seen others post similar numbers as mine.

I use lemon and Mrs. Dash. Lay onions on top. Occasionally a little crumbled feta cheese. So good.

She is too focused on the big picture. She has diabetes concerns. Try saying no junk for a week or 5 days. Something she can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Load up with cut up fresh veggies ready for the eating. yogurt dips if needed. Fresh fruits like watermelon and strawberries. Cook some skinless boneless…

ab intervals and speed 1.0 complete. Nailed it. :smile:

Put on your plate only a bite size portion of each thing so you know you've tasted everything you are interested in. Then if you are still hungry, you can go back for only things you really really liked. (I like chicken on a stick) For desserts like pie or cake, i take the server and just cut the tip off and just have a…

Good job!

Thanks, if I had any weightloss in the past 5 weeks I probably would have easily just avoided this workout lol The last week of alpha has 3 total body circuits and Friday is total body AND lower focus.... Not exciting to come back to lol [/quote] 3 in one week. Ugh. That is just cruel and unusual punishment. I see much…

Wow, good for you for doing it at all! I will be away next week so I am glad I will be coming back to one more week of alpha instead of jumping right into beta.

I hope Ed shined up his dancing shoes so he can keep up with your happy dance! You certainly earned your great news! Hip hip hooray, or knee knee hooray as the case may be. lol So happy for you. Happy birthday!

136 minutes of shoveling snow 994 calories, T25 lower focus 277 calories.

[/quote] I could probably enjoy burpees and pike-ups if he grabbed my hips. For educational purposes, of course. [/quote] I can see how this could help, educationally speaking of course. lol

@piejin - I am still in alpha but i laughed when I read your post. LOL T25 is my "real" workout. I did accidently start T25 with the first beta disc and I was doing it no problem only realizing my mistake because Shaun T referenced that its beta. I finished it and the next day I started the alpha.

total body circuit complete. I enjoy the spider moves, I like jumping into squats and burpees, still struggling with shoulder tap pushups, oblique pushups, pretty much anything to do with pushups. I'm thinking I need to be working on my pushups. lol

The human body is amazingly adaptable. If you are not in shape you do need to be stubborn. You just got to keep doing your best everyday and sometime in week 2 you will realize you are doing it. That's how it went for me. I did the whole program 3 times back to back. Like others I bought mine new off a website and it was…

Incredible success, very inspiring. You look great.

Seeing how early you post that you are done every day guilts me into the next workout so thanks. lol

I use the UComfy for my calves and feet. (quads are fine)

Not only does exercise accelerate weight loss but improves mood and aids in restful sleep. Challenge yourself and enjoy. Best of luck to you. :smile:
