Need advice.. Have done T25 alpha and some weeks of beta before. Starting back into it now with 21 day fix (finished Day 13 this morning). Not sure where to go next. Opinions? I have BOD. Nothing too intense unless there is a modifier as I have knee issues (I can't do surrender's at all).

create your own exercise and enter HR, cal burned, etc yourself. That's the only way I could figure it out. I now start my fitbit in exercise mode and then let fitbit transfer it to MFP. Close enough for accuracy.

Just submitted app. I was in first multiple terms, then life got too busy. Hoping to come back!

Just finished W1 of Beta. I was sweating after upper focus last night. The dips are hard to do being close to the ground. I ordered PiYo. It should be coming next week. I'm planning on doing the PiYo/T25 hybrid after Beta to add some variety. So I saw on Shaun's facebook page that there's a big surprise next week. Any…

At the end of Speed 2.0, I'm a goner.

I tried doing it barefoot and couldn't. I make sure to wear sneakers doing this.

I had a rough last two weeks (homework, sicknesses, and traveling), so I started over last night with core cardio. Instead of trying to figure out where I was, easier just to start fresh.

Weight scale - Aria if you have the fitbit. Food scale - bed, bath, and beyond

I'll have to look for it. maybe there's something on youtube so I can see what is actually involved. I'm going to end up being short on days this week since we're going on vacation this weekend. I'm planning on starting week 1 over on Monday. Rip'T Circuit last night was tough. I think it's because I'm over tired. I'm not…

I noticed that core speed is an extra workout that is not included. Is it worth getting? If so, where does it go in the Beta schedule?

I dreaded total body circuit. I did what I could and just kept moving. I followed Tonia as much as possible. I do have arthritic knees, so I did as many lunges as I could and then went to squat's instead when I couldn't do anymore.

wear a heart rate monitor and make your own exercise. I named mine alpha-tbc (total body circuit); alpha - cardio, etc. then I look at my hrm to see how many calories I burned for that time period.

Great job! I just did some calculations of my own. I didn't do any measurements until I started t25, other than weighing in. So for this journey (started November 2010) = -73 lbs (some from pre-MFP), and -15.25 inches overall from Alpha( neck, waist, chest, bust, biceps, calfs, thighs, hips). - 4 in the hips alone. Started…

I'm starting Beta next week (or at least attempting to start) so what size dumbbells should I have on hand? I have a pair of 5 lb, a 1 lb and a 2 lb (singles, my daughter uses them - she's 7).

Starting W5 Alpha today. I haven't been able to nail each workout, as I'm not fast enough on some of them because I'm modifying the jumps. But I'm loving it :)

I am the same way. I love my fitbit One. If I was to get a different one, I would get the force. I don't wear a watch at work because I don't like the band digging into my wrists when I type (which is all the time). Tip - Don't wear it on a belt/waistband when shoveling snow. Lost two that way. If I don't have belt loops,…

No, I'm on W4 of Alpha. I am finally getting my knees up to my waist, but lunges are still painful.

I have arthritis and had tears in both knees. Go to PT and find out what they allow. Stationary bike is good, but resistance etc should be approved by PT first. Me personally, I avoid lunges at all costs.

I honestly have issues finding a regular bra in my size without burning a hole in my pocket. I recently got professionally measured at a 32DD (thanks kids!) and I refuse to spend more than $30 for a bra. Here's a question though.. while losing weight, how often would it make sense to recheck bra sizes?

Alpha W2 D3 - did Total body circuit last night (had to switch speed and TBC due to remote missing). The spider obliques are the worst! I'm getting better with the cardio and speed. The lower focus kills my knees though. By 20 minutes in, I'm almost ready to just stop. I do push on though.

How did you create a category? I'm in Alpha W2D3. I've been entering it in as Aerobics, HIIT. I have a Polar RS300X with the chest strap and love it. Works great for walking (bad knees so no running), spinning, and this. Make sure the chest strap is washable is my advice. I took the watch and monitor to a jewelry store to…

I'm not doing insanity, but I am doing T25 Alpha right now. I log it in here as aerobics, high intensity. For calories, I use a Polar HRM and use the calories burnt on that. Good luck with Insanity!

Ignore them! I hate when my family talks about my weight loss. I don't post it on FB anymore. btw, I love your hair (now)! I wish mine looked like that.

I have owned the fitbit One for about a year now. If you have a phone that actually will let you sync it (like a samsung galaxy s3), it is perfect. I like how the accuracy, the alarm feature, and it tells me how "active" I actually am. The app is cool. If you have sleep issues (hard time falling asleep, restless sleep,…

I use a combination of Runkeeper and Fitbit. Runkeeper is nice that it has the map feature so I can actually "see" my route back to where I parked.

I'm wondering too. I made a new entry so I could at least record it.

I did W1D1 yesterday (cardio) and had to modify a lot. My question to the group is this: Do you still follow the 30 day schedule, or do you repeat before going to Beta until you don't modify anymore? I do know this - I burned more calories during that 25 min than I did in a 60 min spin class.

I"m interested! Gryffindor :)

Hi everyone, I'll be starting this on monday. Any tips or advice? I've been doing Jillian Michael's 6wk to 6pack from amazon prime this week to get used to following along to a video. I do have bad knees. Feel free to friend me :)
