Focus T25

[Cat]

Like I said I ordered it through teambeachbody. Free shipping free core speed workout. It came in the mail Saturday

[Cat]

I'm getting free samples of shakelogy, im very skeptical regarding it. And ive used energy and endurance for several months. I perfer it to other pre workout supplements.

Whats the likelihood of a complete beginner being able to do this?

 

Im so far out of shape that I think cardio is eating 3 double quater-pounders with cheese in under 10 minutes.

I think so. There is a girl who does very modified moves. Hey if you're moving and doing your best then you're doing it right. Stick with it, try to push yourself and I have no doubt you'll get results.

Any thoughts yet on whether you're going to spring for the extra Gamma workouts? Going through the order process I saw it was another $100+, but looking on TeamBeachBody.com you can add on just the DVDs (and leave off the mat and resistance bands or whatever) for $59.99. Still not sure if it's worth it, though, if I can generate solid results from Alpha and Beta.

It's certainly worth a try. You may even want to just go back and order the original Insanity workouts. "They" don't recommend that beginners do the workouts, but like Cat said, just do what you can and understand that hardly anyone can ever keep up with Shaun T or his crew. If you have any history of sports-related injuries (knee problems specifically) then I would proceed with caution, but if you find it works for you otherwise, give it a shot. Insanity totally changed how I look at/maintain my fitness.

I doubt it. I've got P90X, Insanity, one on one with tony horton, Tf25 and most of Brazilian Butt. I think I've got enough to mix it up for a while.

24k Like the sound of that.

Always looking to add more babies to the stable.

 

 

PLAYYYAAAA

YES!!!  Something kept telling me to check Amazon, and so I did, everyday since it's come out...  Well, what do you know?  It showed up yesterday, was available through Amazon Prime, and I'm getting it delivered tomorrow!!!

 

Now, the real question...  Do I finish Insanity first and then transition to Focus?  I'm in my 3rd week of Insanity now and I think Focus will be ideal once I finish Insanity, as it is only 25 minutes, and I view it as much easier "maintenance" (and then some!) than trying to do another round of Insanity once I'm done.

 

I also think I'm gonna do the initial round of Focus and then order the Gamma DVDs only.  I feel bad for not ordering it from my coach but, I would've had to wait 7-10 days before it even shipped and there's too much uncertainty there, so I went ahead and got it.  I'll probably get the Gamma and Core Speed DVDs from him - or myself, as I'm thinking about becoming a coach myself in the next few weeks.

 

BTW, I checked my original measurements from when I attempted to re-start Insanity in February, and I've lost 2.5+ inches off my waist already.  Awesome...

Finish Insanity!

 

I finished Insanity at the end of May and was still doing Max workouts several times a week before I got T25. It's hard to gauge the difficulty level of T25. It's definitely not as hard as Insanity but I get the feeling a lot of people would struggle with 25 mins of going none stop. I certainly don't feel whipped after 25 mins. I'm in a good sweat but not worn out at all.

[Proudiddy]

That's good to hear Cat!  Sounds like it is a lot like what I was hoping it was. 

 

I'll definitely finish Insanity first but man, I HATE the second month, lol.  I dread each and every workout.  But, at least with Focus being here in my view, it will give me a nice little carrot to work towards for finishing Insanity. 

 

The exciting thing from what I was anticipating and what you just said about Focus is that I think it finds that balance.  There are times with Insanity where I feel like, "Man, was all of that really necessary to get where I'm trying to get?"  LOL.

I've definitely had that thought. Once I got into the Max workouts they became so much easier and I didn't dread it. Max Interval Circuit was such a dread at first now it's my bitch. You'll get into and it'll become easier and easier. And you'll look and feel great! Good luck

That's awesome that it's finally available on Amazon, Diddy. I also have Prime, so I probably should've just waited, but I was too eager to pull the trigger. I'm hoping mine shows up today.

 

I've only been running to stay in shape for the past couple of months, with a random Insanity (month one, lol) workout on the weekend. I'm hoping T25 is gonna really give me the kick that I need.

[Kramerica]

Well, my first copy of T25 was apparently stolen from my doorstep, so I called Beachbody and they had a new kit shipped to me for no charge, plus express delivery. Pretty solid of them to do that.

I'm ready to go now for Monday...just have to spend some more time at the grocery store tomorrow being careful about what I buy. Diddy, I assume you have yours now, too. I'll let you know my thoughts after Monday's workout. Cat, still enjoying the workouts?
