If you are following me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/tina.bove.3) you
know that I’m currently doing my favorite workout program, T-25 Focus with
Shaun-T. I wanted to share with you my
results after doing it for 30 days and tell you why I LOVE this program
so much!
T-25 is a 10 week program consisting of 5 weeks doing the
“alpha” cycle and 5 weeks doing the “beta” cycle. The alpha cycle builds your base so that when
you move to beta you are set up for success!
In alpha, you don’t use any weights, just your own body weight. Once you
get to beta you start incorporating weights into a couple of the workouts (I
use 10 lb weights). Alpha and beta each
have their own workouts so you are getting a whole new set of workouts when you
transition to beta. Then, if you are
really feeling great at the end of beta, you can buy “gamma” separately and do
that program. Gamma is a whole new level!
Now, T-25 is not for everyone! My sister had asked me about doing it and I
knew this was not the program for her because she hates jumping around and
doing a lot of cardio. I told you in the
beginning, I LOVE this program. I love
the fact that each workout is only 25 minutes long. I can get up every morning and knock out a
quick 25 minute workout and be done for the day. The program has you working out 5 days a week
and doing a stretch routine on the weekends.
I get an incredible cardio workout AND get some strength training in during
every workout. No matter what day it is, you are going to get your heart
pumping! There are days when he focuses
on lower body and then others when he focuses on upper body. Depending on what day it is, you are going to
be doing some form of strength training for your legs, arms or core. I talked about the cardio piece and this is
where those of you that don’t like to jump around, do burpees, fast feet, etc.
might not like this program. I’m not
saying you are leaping through the air and doing crazy acrobatics, but you
are doing a pretty intense plyometric style workout where you are constantly moving
your feet. I love it!
I also really enjoy Shaun-T, the creator of T-25. He really motivates you to push hard but not
by yelling at you. All the moves start
out at a basic level and then progress to a more advanced level. Tonya is always in the workouts as a modifier. If you aren’t feeling it one day, just follow
her and she keeps it low impact. Shaun-T
is easy on the eyes too ;), so that helps!
I told you I would share my results and here they are: after 30 days of T-25, I have lost 1 ¾ inches
and 2.3 lbs. What I am most excited about though are my ABS! They are finally starting to get some real
definition. Remember, I just had a baby
5 short months ago and I NEVER thought I could have abs like these again. I’m here to tell all of you mama’s out there
that with some hard work, healthy eating habits and some motivation, you too can
have abs like these after 2 kiddos…..and I’m not done! I still need to finish up beta cycle and do a round of gamma. I’m really excited
to see my results at the end of beta.
