  • T25 is a cardio based program. You really don't need a lot of space for it. I have a small apartment and I do it in a space not much bigger than my workout mat. Alpha phase is pretty much cardio, abs, and body weight resistance. Beta phase has cardio, abs, and weight work incorporated. I am not a runner so I really can't…
  • Maybe try increasing your protein intake. I read your post and that was basically how I had been feeling lately. A few years ago when I lost some weight healthy eating and exercise (I was doing p90x at the time) was enough. This go around it was very stubborn. I even got a body composition scale to see how my percentages…
  • My dad used to have a jewelry store and I would work at it on occasion. I would wait to re-size your rings until you are closer to your goals. Frequently re-sizing can weaken the integrity of the ring and make it harder to re-size. I know that it isn't ideal, but you could talk to your jeweler about getting a ring guard…
  • I use spinach, frozen mango, banana and water. If I have them I add oranges and strawberries.
  • I love weight training. I prefer it to Cardio. I really like that I am not just losing weight but getting strong.
  • I am starting T25 Beta. I did Alpha in January/February and paused due to surgery. I am going to be supplementing my week with Beta while going to the gym.
  • 1200 does feel low. I am a very active person and I initially stated that I am active and planned to exercise about 6 times a week. That allotted me 1450 calories a day. Well that was all fine and well for the first few days but I work in two different locations and I walk in between. I have the map my fitness app linked…
  • I finished Alpha phase of T25 last month. I love it. I find that the workouts go by fast and Tonya is always there doing a modifier if you need it. I try to stick with the rest of the group but some things (like pushups) I tend to follow Tonya with. It is similar to 30DS just with fewer breaks. It is a cardio based program.
  • I did the shred a few years ago. I only got through levels one and two during the 30 days and I was doing a Jillian Michaels' Slimdown challenge with it where I incorporated her Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism video and No More Trouble Zones. I lost a lot of inches with it. It really got me wanting to workout a lot more. I…
  • I have tried both Insanity and T25. I have been working out and doing some sort of activity before both. I tried Insanity first. I could only get through the first two weeks of it and I would just stop doing it. It was too intense for me. I love T25. I really enjoy the workouts. They are just the right level of intensity…
