I always love to try new workout plans and exercise videos. That being said i've done some Jillian Michaels and Insanity videos as well as p90x, but never the whole program. I kept hearing about T25 from patients and decided to give it a whirl.
T25 is a Beachbody program by Shaun T. Shaun T is the creator of Insanity and Asylum. The program is meant to be done 5 times per week for 25 minutes each time with doubles on Friday (so 50 minutes). There are 3 sections (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) and each lasts ~5 weeks. So far we've completed 4 days of the Alpha section. 25 minutes a day...5x/week...sounds pretty easy right?!
Wrong! This workout actually kicked my butt. Now granted, i'm definitely not in my typical athletic shape so it hurt a little more, but this is 25 minutes of some kick-butt exercises. No water breaks. No rest breaks. Which you think you shouldn't need in just 25 minutes, but you do. I have been sore for the past few days, which is a bittersweet feeling.
I wanted to give you all a little taste of T25, but also encourage you all to give it a try. After doing the cardio workout, I modified it into a 10 minute workout. You could take this with you anywhere for a short burst of activity and to get those muscles going.
