Focus T25

[HoosierGirl 780]

The Beachbody folks have a new workout from the creator of Insanity, Shaun T. (Beachbody has several well known fitness DVD programs out, P90X, Insanity, Turbofire).

Focus T25 is similar to Insanity, but is only 25 minutes long, five days per week and lasts for 60 days. Guess I am an easy sell, because I was very excited to receive this! It comes with a easy meal guide with few ingredients, a road map to take you through the program, and two different sets of DVD's.

Although I only started this today, I am hopeful it will get me most of the way to losing my last 30 pounds.

Anyone else doing Focus T25?

Thanks for the tip. Just this morning, I was thinking that soon it will be time to find something harder to do at home or I will need to put together my own.

I'd love to hear how you like the DVDs! I've been thinking about getting them.

I'm ready to do it myself! How is it going?

[HoosierGirl 780]

So far, I really like it. It's a lot of jumping and I wouldn't recommend if you have knee or ankle problems.

Using my heart rate monitor, I am burning about 350 calories in 25 minutes, so it is really a good calorie burn!

Will post some more info after I complete this week. The eating plan is very VSG friendly too! So far so good..

Is it pretty easy to follow?

How soon could you do this after sugery? I have been wanting to try it.....

[HoosierGirl 780]

As far as being easy to follow, I would suggest watching before doing so you don't have to stop and figure out what is going on.

I really started heavy exercise about 3 months after surgery and just walked before that. So, i think the three month mark would be a good place to start. Also, when you start may depend on your weight. Obviously if you have a lot of weight to lose, all the jumping might be uncomfortable on joints.

But if you can stand 25 minutes of going full blast, this is wonderful.

I started the exercise and eating plan Monday and have lost 5.7 lbs and it is only Wednesday! Crazy but wonderful!

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Wow - incredible short term weight loss! I am jealous!! If only the program did not cost so much.

[HoosierGirl 780]

Thanks! I am viewing the cost as an investment to help me get to goal.

With the 60 day program, it ends up being about $2 per day and I can afford that. If you wait a few months, it will probably for sale cheap on eBay or Craigslist! Lol...

[Fiddleman 4,376]

That's good to know. I am going to look for a cheap copy when everyone is tired of their copy.

I have been doing T25 for a month and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Love the 25 minute workouts and the effect the workouts have on my body. I've lost inches and 5 pounds. They have a great cookbook that comes with it with 5 easy ingredients and short prep time. I am having my gallbladder out on Wednesday and bummed I had to stop the workouts before moving to the next phase so excited to get back into it when my doctor clears me to workout again. If anyone is interested in their products let me know T25 is actually on sale through beachbody through the end of August and amI in a group on FB with a ton of people all doing T25 and supporting each other through the workouts.

I am so glad you are having such great results with T25!! :-)

How soon could you do this after sugery? I have been wanting to try it.....

I started doing slim in 6 express from beachbody a little less than a month out and made sure I wasn't doing ab exercises until I was cleared from my doctor. Slim in 6 was a great way to get back into exercising for me b/c it was light, easy on me and the weights I used (3 and 5 pounds) were within my allotted weights I could use after my surgery.

T25 uses a lot of core work so it really depends on when your surgery was or is. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer whatever I can!! :-)

The workouts themselves are easy to follow and there is a modifier (Shaun T's sidekick Tanya, she's fantastic!!) in all of the workouts so you can modify what you need to. The ab workouts are difficult for me and I def need to modify them but I've seen myself get better of the few weeks I've been doing them. It's great because when it gets too hard I don't need to stop and I can modify and jump back in when I'm ready.
