  • Managed to get Rip't Circuit done last night before going to my gym and taking a RIPPED class. I feel so ripped! Have a great weekend everyone!

  • I'm here everyday and track everything!
  • I'm the same way! I was doing mornings, but found that my focus just wasn't there like it should be. Maybe if I took more time after I rolled out of bed, but I always just jumped right in. I'm fitting in T25 in the evenings now or late mornings after a training session.

  • I also do T25 barefoot. It makes a huge difference for me.

  • I've only gotten 3 workouts done this week for T25 because there is a new schedule at my gym and I've wanted to try all the classes. I'm debating redoing this week or possibly trying to just get the three workouts in tonight and tomorrow.

  • Absolutely! Trust me, the modifications are still a FANTASTIC workout. My knees get sore from a lot of my workouts so I literally feel your pain. Every single jumping move can be modified and you will still burn calories and get stronger. You will build your leg strength up during alpha which will definitely help alleviate…
  • I traveled last week for work and used the resistance band for the Beta workouts. There is always one guy that uses it so you'll know what to do. It's such a great workout for traveling!

  • I will say that during the Beta Phase, Shaun T says over and over to go at your own speed. I slow a lot of things down because the most important thing is that your form is good and you are focused. I really started noticing changes when I was doing everything he told me to do (abs tight, head up, neck long, spread my…
  • Just found these posts! I'm in week 7 of T25, in the Beta Phase and loving it. I stopped weighing myself awhile ago, but definitely have been losing inches. Feel free to add me, my diary is open and I'd love to chat with anyone doing the program!
  • amandaroseruns on IG. Definitely add me!
  • I agree, I LOVE Speed 2.0. A few thoughts on the Beta Cycle. I absolutely love Speed 2.0 and Core Cardio. Upper Focus is a nice change, but as of right now, not a big fan of Rip't Circuit or Dynamic Core. I don't know if it's because they are just a little bit too hard for me, but I don't look forward to them the way I do…

  • Enjoy the last week of Alpha and don't worry, Beta is AWESOME! I've done three of the workouts in two days just because I liked them so much.

  • GREAT JOB!! I actually started doing all of the workouts without shoes a couple of days ago and am finding that they are so much more comfortable. My range of motion and stability is better and it certainly is quieter for the poor souls on the floor below us! lol

  • I can see where you're coming from. I double up T25 with my normal workouts to keep things interesting. It's challenging for me, but I love my classes and the gym and couldn't imagine dropping them so I just do both. I would try doubling up and see how that goes. I tend to do that 2-3 times a week and the second of the…

  • Finished the Alpha round yesterday and just couldn't wait until tomorrow to start Beta. It.Is.AMAZING!! I love the way he just dives right in the workout. Alpha definitely prepares you for this!

  • Happy Friday everyone! I am sore as heck from the past couple of days working out, but am still excited for a double tonight after workout...Ab Intervals and Cardio. I've been watching Shaun T webcasts today (slow day at work lol) and he really is so inspiring. I am hoping to really focus on these last 2 days of Alpha and…

  • Great job everyone! I did Total Body and Lower Focus last night...so killer. LF gets me every time! I feel great but am hoping for better results from the Beta Phase. I feel stronger, but haven't had anymore weight loss which is always frustrating.
    in T25 Comment by are822 August 2013
  • I do T25, love it! Last week of Alpha and I do double workouts at least a couple of times a week just because of my schedule. I'm looking forward to starting the Beta phase for even more results!
  • It will get better! You'll get stronger each week and the pain will lessen. Ab Intervals is tough! Keeping my hands right by my side and legs in the air is so difficult, but I have seen improvement each time. I'm doing a double workout tonight and even got my boyfriend to try it on vacation. We did Speed 1.0 and Total Body…

  • Sorry for the silence. I've been on vacation and traveling for work all week but I managed to get all of the workouts done for week 4 which was a huge accomplishment for me. So ready to be done with week 4 and on to the Beta round!

  • I too am doing T25 and having a little knee pain, but it's from my other workouts combined with T25. There are a lot of squats, lunges and lateral movements, but if you stick with the modified version, you'll be fine. Just pay attention to your form and take things slower than they are going. After 3 weeks, I've noticed…
  • I've definitely been slacking on the T25 schedule this week. I've only gotten 2 workouts in so it's going to be back to backs for the next two days. My knees have been so sore since Wednesday when I did Lower Focus so I'm just icing and trying to take it a little easier , but I know my body and pain levels pretty well so I…

  • I agree with Tammy on calories burned. I wear my HRM and my burn ranges from 245-300 doing about 80% normal, 20% modified.
    in T25 Comment by are822 August 2013
  • Agreed! Pivoting lunges are the bane of my existence! I sometimes just stick with squats to save my knees
    in T25 Comment by are822 August 2013
  • I got various weight sets from Five Below for $3 each, a resistance band, stability ball, yoga mat and do T25 as well as videos off YouTube. It's completely possible to get a great strength workout at home for very little money!
  • I'm just starting week 3 and I am down 2 lbs and 4 inches. More importantly, I'm noticing improvements in being able to do the tougher moves (oblique pushups!) Lower Focus is still the hardest workout for me, I dread it. How about everyone else?

  • I'm on week 2 and love it. It's just so easy to fit in 30 minutes of a workout. Every time I say I'm not going to do it, I remember it's just 30 minutes and is over before you know it. Total Body and Speed are my favorite workouts. And the Sunday stretch did wonders for my aching body!

  • I started T25 this week and what I really like about it is that you can double up on workouts if you want to. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get to it today so I did one in the morning and one in the evening yesterday. 25 minutes is just so easy to fit in. You don't need much room and it's a great workout. I do boot…
  • I use Fitradio and alternate between the Top 40 and Hip Hop Mixes. It's a great app for keeping my workout music fresh.
  • Mine does the 00 thing every few workouts as well. I've found that sometimes the best thing to do is stop it and restart the workout. It's frustrating, but has been the only thing that consistently makes it stop.
