Shaun T is an awesome motivator and really gets you to want to focus and complete the workout. In addition, I really want to do the full workout with no modifier. Unfortunately, there are a few exercises that I can't quite do without modifying. Yesterday, I was doing burpees and my back reminded me why I need to modify that exercise. It's a bit frustrating, but Shaun is right, if you are focusing on the workout, you will see results. I lost three (3) pounds during the first week. I am seeing a change in my body. The exercises are challenging, fun, and more excitedly, they are only 25 minutes. He is right: anyone can do 25 minutes.
I have the Power 90 10-minute workouts and the differences between the two workouts are staggering. I think it has more to do with the instructors. I realize that Tony Horton is just not my cup of tea: a bit boring, corny jokes and his face lift/botox is creepy. Shaun T is down-to-earth, somewhat funny, and comes across as more natural. Knowing that he is gay and a person of color just adds to his appeal to me.
My goal in doing the program is to develop a 6-pack by the time I turn 37. I have 13 and a half weeks until I hit that momentous occasion. While doing this workout will help, I also need to continue to be very cognizant of my diet. "Abs are made in the kitchen" is what they say and they are right. A proper and balanced diet is the only way that I will see the changes that I desire. I've been cutting down my ice cream consumption to one day per week. I am avoiding most desserts. I am also avoiding processed snacks. I've been consuming a lot of fruits, vegetables and Greek yogurt. I've even dropped my alcohol consumption considerably.
Has anyone else done the T-25 workout? Have you done another workout by Shaun T or any of the others in the Beachbody family? Is there a goal that you are looking to hit within a certain period of time? I look forward to hearing from you.
In the meantime, I will leave you with this image. These guys are my heroes.
