  • Did a hybrid of T25/Insanity Max 30 to get used to the workouts before jumping into the calendar. I find that works A LOT w/ Shaun T workouts. I'll be starting 2/7 so I'll join but will be slightly behind you. Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed is my 5 day calendar w/ Thurs/Fri off because it fits the schedule working in an office much…
  • Yeah I want to commend your form. I saw nothing but solid form throughout the video and that's so vital in these workouts. Props to you for that solid form! You went hard and had to stop when you were maxing. It's definitely not the easiest in terms of sweat and wanting to die... lol but it is easiest in terms of impact.…
  • Yeah - that right there is something I'll bookmark. It proves just how far your mind can get in your way. I literally come to this forum to see exactly that. People who admit the sturggle, committ, and go as hard as they can. Man... that's what it is all about! That's a beautiful thing. We are all fortunate for Shaun T to…
  • Dude huge props to you.
  • This will sound insane.. but Friday Fight is the easiest one. The only thing that makes it terribly hard is no breaks. In terms of impact - it's definitely better.
  • Thank you guys for this information. Bookmarked!
  • I hit a brand new record this week in cardio challenge that i'll never be able to hit again. I had one of those workouts where I was in the zone. Almost like a blackout state of mind w/ uber focus. I made it 16:10 in cardio challenge and doing everything 110%. I paid for it the rest of the day. I was almost near tears and…
  • The workout is only for the truly insane who want to push their body and mental state to whole new levels. This isn't your everyday workout. This is your 2 month challenge to yourself to become a whole new person. It's insanely high impact and the word insane cannot be said enough. This is the type of workout that makes me…
  • I have both... here is my quick interpretation: 1) T25 is a very high-tempo, nonstop, medium to high impact workout. You go for 25 minutes. No breaks. It's really solid and the calendar is something you can do over and over again. You can even combine workouts and create your own weeks after the 15 weeks are over…
  • Made it to 11:40 on Sweat Intervals today. I almost maxed out on the segment before on the push-up punches but I dug frickin' deep man. Squat punches kill me. That whole segment from 10:30 - 15:00 is murder. My main goal is to break through and nail that segment but wow... that's going to take some deep mental preparation.…
  • Awesome work. THAT is what it is all about. Way to push your mind out of the way for a whole minute. That's a killer result and only week 2!
  • For the people maxing out at 5-8 minutes... don't get down on yourself. That's what this workout is there to do. You are supposed to push yourself to limits you've never dreamed possible. Your mental capacity AND body are going to see the best results you ever get. Keep pushing and go harder! This will be unpopular... but…
  • This workout... is not for most. I see a lot of people stashing this one away. It's T25/Insanity at an insane level. High impact and very high difficulty level, IMO. Failure will happen over and over again. And if anyone says they aren't failing.. then they are cheating in the workout. It's built to push you to new levels…
  • What did you buy? I think I would want that. Something that syncs to my phone so I don't have to worry about it. I also don't mind a chest strap. I've used it before.
  • From my perspective... Money was available in my budget to workout and I believe your body is the best investment you can make. I pay $200 a month for 1x a week personal trainer and gym membership. I also made sure to request a personal trainer that fit my needs. We don't just go machine to machine. We work out 45 minutes…
  • T25 Review Update: I made it all the way through Alpha. I came in already training with a trainer and doing a lot of high impact sports-specific training. So I was well-prepared and did not have to use the modifier at all. I think every single disk is a darn good work out. Speed 1.0 is relatively the easiest, but you bust…
  • 1) 6 packs are made in the kitchen AND are partially genetics. 2) I see too many people worrying about calories. It really depends on how active you are through these workouts. If you are not modifying and are an active person in general, you can take way more than 1600. You also just have to eat the right foods. You can…
  • Yeah it's interesting. I read through pretty much every post here. I'm not saying T25 is for everyone, because it's definitely not. Shaun T is just an amazing motivator and people WANT to do his workouts. But I cannot help myself but just throw my hands up with people in this thread who are frustrated because they aren't…
  • Here is my review so far: History: I'm 29 and I love sports agility and intense training. Anything w/ box jumps, jump rope, utilizing function-able strength as opposed to just worthless muscle is key. I've been doing trainer workouts for years as I was trained for hockey. Lots of plyo so I came in prepared. I'm currently…
