P90x3 looks pretty intense. A few guys in a daily motivation/challenge group just started it and they love it. I am a big fan of Focus T25. Just completed a round of Alpha/Beta/Gamma and lost 42 pounds and 10 inches off my waist. I also canceled my gym membership. The advice given to me when I hit a 3 week plateau was: 1.…

T25 Gamma Complete "Speed 3.0 + Extreme Circuit" Wow, today was a rough one. I think I new/my body new this was the last day of Gamma. It was extremely hard to make it through both videos. My legs were sore, stiff, and hard to get going. I tired easily and felt like throwing up. The good news is, in the past I probably…

So, I have been hitting T25 hard for the past 24 weeks. i did 2 rounds of T25 Alpha/Beta and will finish my first round of Gamma tomorrow. I have had a weight loss plateau for the past 2-3 weeks not losing any weight or inches and gained 2 inches in my chest. I will be starting another round of Alpha/Beta/Gamma while I…

T25 Gamma Week 4 Day 4 "Speed 2.0 + Pyramid" Nailed it Sorta Wife has a weird injury. Some sort of pulled muscle that runs from below her belly button to her backside. I completed Speed 2.0 for warm-up and then Pyramid as my scheduled workout. Speed 2.0 was oddly hard for me and I only got my HR up to 132. I felt like I…

1000 Calories, I wouldn't worry. Go for an extra walk for the next 3 days, do an extra work-out. Play a sport. you will burn those extra calories easily. Other than that, Ignore the overage and get back on track tomorrow. Don't let 1 day turn into 2. Move forward.

Christmas Bonus Workout - Core Speed "Nailed It"

Merry Christmas Accountability T25 Gamma Week 4 Day 3 Speed 3.0 "Crushed It!" Woke up this morning and saw the boys had pulled their presents out from the tree and stacked them in 2 piles sorted by name. A few last minute ideas and the boys had a wonderful opening gifts, handing our exchange student his gift, calling grand…

Thank you Lexlyn, I am just trying to pass on the motivation that was given to me. I have a long ways to go but it helps me to post my challenges and successes daily. If I didn't post daily I never would have made it this far. Merry Christmas

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 4 Day 2 Rip't Up "Made it" Talk about a crash day. I slept 40 minutes through my alarm, took another 40 minutes to make and eat breakfast, ate extra oatmeal and then tried to complete my workout even though I had 0 energy. Thank goodness Rip't Up starts with some Cardio wich woke me up some. I…

The level of animosity towards that one does not agree with is atrocious. Its almost as bad as listening to a democrat and republican argue. I am not a Beach Body Coach, I do not use Shakology, I have neither researched the pro's or cons of the product. To each their own. A simple response to the OP is either Yes its a rip…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 4 Day 1 "Smashed It" The final week of Gamma has arrived. It seems like just yesterday I started this impossible mission to conquer Gamma. I started with Speed 3.0 and finished off with Extreme Circuit. Max HR 169 Avg Hr 150. Avg HR for Extreme Circuit was 137. I love the tweek of doing speed…

Morange, We are going to start over with Alpha and I will be subbing Speed 3.0, Core speed for the speed workout. On all speed days I will double up the speed so Speed 3.0 + Speed 1.0 or Speed 3 + Core Speed etc. When time permits I will add extra speed workouts into my routines. Hope that helps. I am also reducing my…

Accountability Staturday "Bah Humbug" This week 1 gained 2 pounds and gained 2 inches on my chest. Not what I was expecting. I am guessing the chest gains is due to all the weights in Gamma and probably the extra burpees, planks, and push-ups from all the speed workouts I was doing. I think I will cut my calories by 300…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 4 Day 5 "Speed 3.0, Core Speed, Extreme Circuit" Well I had a lot of fun today completing my first Triple. I nailed all 3 videos. Took Kepts advice and did my speed workouts first followed by strength. I was able to maintain an avg 140 on the extreme workout. This was a jump of 23 points on my…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 3 Day 4 "Pyramid" Hit it hard! Pyramid is my Gamma version of TBC. I made it through the planks all 11 tiers to fail on the push-ups. I did push to tier 7 1/2 on push-ups. Working my way to all 11 tiers. By the end I could hardly do a modified Push-up. I so wanted to include a speed workout…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 3 Day 3 Extreme Circuit + Core Speed. I did very well on EC still have to mod some of the planks/push-ups. Nailed Core Speed. Burned 800+ cal. Just got back from a quick trip to San Diego and my new weights arrived:) NO MORE BANDS..WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Captain - When I first started…

Cute, One of teh disks "I forget Alpha or Beta has a plank set where you just stay in Plank for like 1 min. I had my 4 year old laying on my back, my puppy sitting in front of me trying to lick my face. It was very akward minute. Memories...

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 3 Day 2 Speed 3.0 + Core Speed (Nailed It!!) Wow, can't believe its week 3 of Gamma Already. My favorite day of the week, Speed 3.0. Hit everything and kept an avg HR of 154 with a max HR of 171. Decided to follow it immediately with Core Speed. I remember much more burpee moves in core speed.…

I do not follow the diet plans. When I was eating the recommended 1300-1700 calories I did not lose a pound. I upped my calories to 2000 and bam, started losing weight. Plateaued for about 3 weeks and upped calories to 2300 and I am steadily losing 1-2 pounds a week again. I found eating a 40,40,20 plan works out great.…

teemac - Sorry to hear about your injuries. Hope you have a speedy recovery. CaptainBoing - Welcome to the group. this is a great group of people posting regularly. I completed 2 rounds of T25 Alpha/Beta and am on my 1st round of Gamma. I love the series. The speed workouts are by far my Favorites.

Way to go PowerPuff. try Core Speed. That is almost as good as Speed 3.0 :)

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 3 Day 1 Pyramid "Made It" I cannot claim a Nailed it on this one yet. However, I did make it to step 7 on pyramid Push-ups before modifying. I used the stupid bands..yuk..They did take a lot more effort though and my arms, neck, shoulder burned like hell. Perhaps they can be usefull..until I…

Staturday "Rest Day" Good day on the scale. I lost 2 pounds this week. 1/2 inch of waist and 1 inch off chest. Kicking my calories up to 2300 seems to have done the trick. I think part may be some dehydration as well though emoticon water intake not so good this week. Morange don't worry too much about the sale. The inches…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 2 Day 5 "All done with Gamma " I am soo pissed off I can barely focus to log. Was doing Rip't Up and 1/3 of the way through 2 ball bearings drop out of my adjustable weights and all the weights fell off. Now my dumbell set is broke and T25 is mostly weights Not Good. Now I have to go through…

Speed 2.0 would be my recommendation. No burpees I think and still a good cardio burn.

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 2 Day 4 Pyramid "Almos Nailed it" Good day for excersize. I was able to push a little harder through Pyramid today and increased my avg HR from around 108 up to 119. Pretty good for this vid. I also made it up to tier 6 of the push-up Pyramid before modifying. Last week I made it to Tier 3. I…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 2 day 3 Speed 3.0 (Pushed Through) Max HR 170 Avg HR 147 Total Cal Burn 391. Was excited for this disk but I am having an off week with the body and was a bit sluggish. Was hoping for an AVG HR in the 150's. Did not have time today to double up Core speed but not sure if I was feeling it…

Accountability T25 Gamma Week 2 Day 2 Extreme Circuit "Nailed it Almost" OOH, Next week I might try increasing my weights. I pushed hard today and seemed full of energy for this workout. Not a Heart Burner but I managed a 117 avg HR with a max of 145. Tricept Push-ups suck. I had to lose the weights so I could do them. I…

Accountability Ript Up "Kicked my Butt" This was a hard one for me today. My body was just not responding to what I wanted. Had to modify the push-up series today. Had a max HR 176 and avg HR 118. There is a few short Cardio segments to break up some iof the weights , so I hit those as hard as possible and my HR sky…
