Focus T25 Overview

In order to meet my fitness goals, I purchased a workout program called Focus T25 by Shaun T (yes, the same guy that created Insanity). I chose this program because it only requires 25 minutes Monday - Thursday, and 50 minutes on Friday. This really takes away any excuse that I'm too "tired" or "busy" to workout.

Here's the overview for the program...

Package came with:

• T25 Alpha and Beta workout DVDs (11 total)
• T25 workout calendar
• Quick start guide
• 5 day fast track
• Get it done nutrition
• Ads for Beachbody and Shakeology
• Resistance band

T25 is made up of two phases, Alph and Beta. You can purchase Gamma, the most advanced one, separately.  Alpha and Beta each consists of 5 workouts, which is great for someone who gets bored easily like me! The program comes with a calendar, so it's very straightforward to follow. 

It comes with a quick start guide that explains the program to you. You take your measurements and pictures to keep track of your progress every week. After each workout, you check "nailed it" or "barely made it" on your T25 calendar. Hopefully it'll improve with time. 

There's also a 5 day fast track. This includes recipes for the first 5 days to jump start your weight loss. Each day you can ONLY eat 1100 calories! Yikes! I opted to try to follow the nutrition guide instead. You take a short quiz in the guide to determine how many calories you should be consuming everyday. I will try to follow the recipes in the guide for my 1600 calories a day...at least for my first week of T25.

Shakeology is widely advertised as a meal replacement, mostly for breakfast or snack. I have not tried it yet.

Reviews and updates will come as I embark on my T25 journey! Wish me luck :-)
