I completed my first day on Monday! Cardio was awesome! It was intense and short but kicked my butt!! I did use some of the modifers and burned 335 cals according to my HRM. Looking forward to getting Day 2 underway!!

Kritney, Sunday was my prep day too! Although I started tweaking my diet Friday. I watched all the videos, did measurements, and took b/a photos. Brandy

Hi everyone, I'm Brandy and I just started T25 Alpha cycle on the 16th. I loved it!! I got my behind kicked but felt amazing afterwards. Like many of you I also had to use some of the modifications. Looking forward to day 2!!!!

I do use a HRM and doing Alpha Cardio I burned 335 cals.

I am also starting on 9/16 (today). I am really excited. If any of you want to stay in touch or turn this into a motivation challenge shoot me a request! :) Good luck everyone!!!

Regardless of the manner in which this was meant, sarcasm or not.....As an Respiratory Therapist I can tell you there is a form of Emphysema that is genetic (Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency) and not cause by cig smoke. However it only occurs in approx 1 in 2,500 people. There are many patients I treat that do not smoke but…

I am not going to say Selfish Scum...but its bad for you! And as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I really just want to say THANK YOU FOR SMOKING!! Job Security Baby!

I personally eat back some of my exercise calories, especially on days when I workout vigorously. On days when I do not workout I stay around 1200 even though my allowed cals on MFP is 1390. That is what works for me. I did find that when I begin to consume some of my workout calories back I lost more consistently. Another…

Its all good Jenn!! Don't sweat it!! You are awesome!!

Bottom line is that fitness, whether it be cardio or strength training, isn't a one size fits all genre. Each person needs to find what works for them. There are too many varibles involved to say this is written in stone. Conventional wisdom tells us cardio and strength training should be on non-consecutive days,…

I love love love Pinterest!!! The first board I added anything to was a FItness/Motivational Board. To date i have more Pins to that board than any other. I have, like many others, found amazing healthy recipes!!!

Grew up in SC, lived 45 minutes from Myrtle Beach. Then as an adult I lived 30 minutes away. Spent nearly every summer at the beach. I have been in Texas for 10 years now, and the Gulf is great and all, it just doesn't compare to the beauty of miles and miles of nothing but sand, surf, and horizon! Guess living on the East…

YES....what they said!!! There is a version of P90X, its an alternative to the "Classic" cycle of P90X, the LEAN cycle elimanates the Plyometrics entirely.

I have done, INSANITY, which has ALOT of jumping(or Plyometrics) and it was rough on the knees at first, I wrapped them until They got stronger. Not alot of room for modifying. Def a upper level workout. P90X has alot of weights, some plyo(jumping) but has modifications. Upper level. Brazilian Butt Lift is a great program…

I was born in Bennettsville, SC. Went to Newberry College from there. So lived in Newberry, and moved to Sumter from there. Somehow ended up in Texas! :D

This party needs a lil Brandy!!! :D (oh hell wait..thats me) I'm a South Carolina girl livin in Texas!! And Country girl soooo rock! I think I qualify, at least thats what I'm told. Although, should I believe everything I hear?!?!?!?! (inquiring minds and all...)

THIS

These are great challenges!!! Had some issues with my knees so I really though Jumping jacks were out. I've read a lot about learning to landing softly and how to do it safely!! I started my Turbofire that has sat on my closet shelf for nearly a year and on the HIIT days there is some plyo, which includes a lot of jacks…
