Anyone else starting a Beachbody workout programme? (T25, insanity etc)

[yumyumpoppycat]

Ok so my Focus T25 box has arrived today! Costs a lot but it has 11 25 minute work outs and some stretchy exercise band things. Idea is that because I have spent a lot I will have to knuckle down and see it through for the next 2 months.

I will probably try it over the weekend and start properly on mon. I am 3 stone overweight so this is going to be a mega challenge! Has anyone else recently started something similar or a new workout dvd and want to help motivate each other?

gah...please excuse the typo Boobz .... I dont suppose you have literally juggled

Just looked at this thread for motivation. Am ridiculously stiff this am (stupid press-ups and tricep dips from yesterday) and now moving like an old woman. And ds has a cold so I was up 2hourly thru the night. Poor meeeeeeee!
But then I remembered jemstipp doing mth 2 of insanity and waking up thru the night to feed her lamb and have resolved to pull myself together and do 'sweat intervals'. Eeek!

Fullsteam - great photos and definitely more tone in all the key places. Mind you, looked pretty fab to begin with!

Purple - good luck! Sometimes exercise is the best thing when you are feeling super stiff! Helps get everything warm and supple again. 2 hourly wake ups is though.

Yumyum - great idea, I am sure girly weekends and hols coming up will give me an extra push when I am ready. As you say, maintaining is work in itself! X

Lol good woman Purple

Well I did 20mins of sweat intervals then had to stop for screaming baby. Was a relief - it felt tough today. How did you get on fullsteam?

Oh you poor thing Purple! Did the exercise help your muscles?

I did my 2nd Insanity workout today and it was surprisingly fine! I did slow down towards the end but managed it nonetheless :) I was so full of endorphins after the workout that felt like shouting Hooray and giving my OH hi fives! He decided that I have finally lost it and gone completely bananas!!!

TBC tomorrow! Hate it hate it hate it!

My 10yr old daughter is on Easter holidays now and she is off for 4 weeks so has decided to do Alpha cycle of T25! I thought she'd give up after day one but here we are after three days and she is still going strong. Very proud of her. Her technique is not great and she does struggle with coordination sometimes but is really enjoying it and I guess that's the most important thing.

Crikey purple sweat intervals

Well done fullsteam That's sweet about your dd, funnily my 9 yo ds (year 5 at school) wanted to join in with t25 this morning, I told him shaun t had done a workout for kids so he looked it up and then informed it was just boring dancing....there's not really enough room for us both in my front room though. I did core cardio this morning but it was a squeeze for time, I was tempted to cut the hardcore 5 mins at the end off but in the end I skipped a bit in the middle, this really confused ds as me skipping forward coincided with him going to the loo so he cam back and was like 'woah i was in the toilet a reallllly long time'.

Good work everyone, especially kids !

Just did beta speed 2.0. Love that workout! High fives all around!!!

Well done Fullsteam - which work out did you do?

I had my 6, 4 and 3 year olds doing my workout with me today. They got as far as the stretch after the warm up and the retired. Wusses.

It was Power and Resistance Boobz. I can't believe your little ones managed to do it up to the stretch. I just about manage it and then think hooray it's stretch time! Lol. Even your kids are hardcore!!!

Max recovery day. Not much of a recovery but hey, away we go

Well I got the result finally. I have cancer.

I received the message whilst I was about to start Insanity.

So now I am going to DIG DEEPER and work out like a muthaf*cker!

Shit. Boobz. . Don't know what to say but I hope the exercise helps just a tiny bit with stress-reduction. xx

Shit boobz. That's horrible news. I'm sure you have lots of support from other people but what I would say is from your posts its clear that you are tough, resilient and determined and that will count for a lot. I'm thinking of you today and I love that you're just getting on with your work out despite getting that news. As I've always said you're hard core!
I'm doing tabata power later. I'll use you as motivation to try to do more than 1 plyo press up!

Really sorry Boobz. Xx

Oh god boobz Now to get the cancer in lab jar where it belongs x

Gwan Boobz, kick its ass

Oh Boobz, I'm so sorry! I never thought for a second you'd get this diagnosis. Please stay strong, I'm sure you of all people can beat it! I'm thinking of you and will be pushing harder at my workout tomorrow too.

Hugs! xxx

Boobz - how was Insanity? Hope you consultation is helpful today (assuming you are still going).

Did beta cardio last night and was sweating like a pig! Really enjoying all the beta workouts so far. My DH had a health check at work yesterday and the nurse described him as an athlete! So I have decided I am an athlete by proxy as we work out about the same .

Hope you are all good x

Ah bloody hell Boobz, so sorry, I hope the consultation is useful and you get a clear treatment pathway now x

I have been working away, but managed to fit in insanity everyday, only one more recovery day then start month 2 on Monday - a little apprehensive!!

Great photos Fullsteam, gorgeous figure.

Everyone is so hardcore on this thread, I love it.

Jem hope the lamb is thriving.

I can't believe you did Insanity after receiving that kind of news Boobz - you rock.

Hope you all have a good, strong day.

Hi all. Can I join in? I'm starting T25 tomorrow. I'm about 3 stone overweight too so reading the first post felt like it was written by me. I've tried T25 before but gave up after a couple of weeks. Going to stick with til the end this time.

Hello Thediet, welcome to the group!!! :) I'm sure with T25 and all the support on here you'll lose those 3 stone in no time at all. Good luck with your first workout!

Boobz, how are you today?

Well, I had the pleasure of getting familiar with Insanity Pure Cardio today!!! What was that Shaun was saying about suicide mission at the start of it???!!! I'm struggling to seat on my sofa now, never mind doing anything else. lol.

I was thinking of you Boobz and kept pushing myself, still had to stop to catch my breath and have a drink a few times!!!

Thanks everyone - you are all very sweet.

Yesterday was a bad day but at least I did my work out!

Currently sat in Luton airport with 15 mins free wifi. Had my consult today. They want to do the biopsies again as they don't know how the Italians carried out theirs nor can they translate the report, so had more tests today and will know more next week. They were really lovely though and I feel like I am finally in safe hands.

Will have a plan by next week I hope, but the bank holiday may mean it's the week after. Feeling ok at the moment - I suppose because I don't know how bad it is. I think it's early but still don't really know yet.

Have ordered Max Insanity 30! Something new to take my mind of things!

Thinking of you Boobz.
