Whooo, so I am now flipping the tv off after my workout, lol. I am not going to weigh/measure until Alpha is done (unless I can't help it). I just want to focus on getting through this!!
I'm here! I thought I posted something before xmas. I took the day off on the 25th, so I have to do an exercise on Sunday along with stretch. I can't believe we're about to start week 4!!! Only 2 weeks left of Alpha! Then I'll take my measurements =) I can see my body toning up...it's just hidden under all this padding. I was being silly the other day and rolled my ankle, so I have been doing the silliest modifiers. Oh, I can't wait!!!
I haven't been back on this website for so long but found it again while trying to find info on Insanity or T25. I am not sure what one I want to do.
My main focus at this point is weight loss. I have P90X and have done a few tapes but really need to lose a lot of weight before I give it a serious try.
It seems to be the biggest difference is T25 is 25 mins long with no breaks and Insanity is 45 mins long but has some breaks is that basically it?
My friend gave me Insanity a while ago, but I can't find it, so I ordered T25. I loved Insanity...but I could never make it past 20 mins, so I never made it past the 2nd week. I'm about to start week 4 of T25...never made it to week four on anything! Even the laziest of us can get up and moving for 25 mins especially if we have an option for a modifier if necessary.
I don't want to say the shorter time and lack of breaks is the only difference, it's a different program..but yes bottom line that's the difference. To me T25 seems like a good stepping stone to Insanity and also one I can do every day, while Insanity I might do the program 2x a year or something (winter/summer)...I'm probably crazy enough to get Asylum! FYI just bc it is 25 mins doesn't mean it's easy!! =)
As someone thinking of trying T25, I had to read up on your thread. It makes me want it now! lol. I just did 2 of Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs today for the first time (so much fun). I usually stick with JM and Turbofire. I just recently started working out again (have been doing challenge groups on FB with beach body coaches). I figured I need to build up my endurance and strength before attempting T25. It's great to see you ladies loving it!
I'm on Alpha Week 4 Day 4 Can't believe I have made it this far!!! Never have I started a program and come this far. It's tough, I won't lie but it works!
The DH started Gamma - it's tough. I haven't yet. I've had a virus, then a crazy cold thing, and when I exercise, I start coughing and hacking up all sorts of things. I'm still exercising, but it's basically been walking and elliptical, pausing for coughing. Sigh.
I'm really thinking about starting this soon so if you don't mind I'm going to stalk this thread for a little bit. It sounds like it's quite tough. I have never done any of Shaun T's workouts but I really like the 25 minute aspect of this one. I'm hoping that I could eventually use it as a stepping stone to Insanity or P90X.
P90X is totally different, I am sure you could do that right now. I've done both P90X and Insanity and Insanity was much harder but more focused on cardio. P90X has 2 days of cardio each week, 3 days of resistance, and 1 day of Yoga. The cardio in P90X is much easier than in Insanity, even the Plyo X workout is way easier than any workout in Insantiy. And P90X has modifiers for everything, whereas I didn't really see modifiers in Insanity. I'm glad to hear T25 has them.
I'm interested in T25. Right now I'm doing P90X3 which is the newest iteration and is 30 minute workouts vs the 1 hour workouts in P90X. I think Beachbody must have opted to make some programs that appealed to people who don't have an hour to workout each day and would rather go hard for a half hour.
I'll have to check out T25, it sounds like it's right up my alley.
Hi gang! I'm new to this forum and will be starting W1D1 tonight of T25. I have a terrible tendency of starting an exercise routine then quitting down the road, so I'm hoping that with the help of you fine folks, I can stay on track!
Can't believe I have made it this far!!! Never have I started a program and come this far. It's tough, I won't lie but it works!
