T25/Chalean Extreme Hybrid First Half Woman's Progress Update

For the past 5 weeks I have been hanging out with Shaun T and Chalene Johnson...
In my Living Room!! Yes that is right in the comforts of my home these two fabulous fitness trainers help me get fit and healthy!!

How did I get so lucky you might ask? 
Well I have found my time is limited that I get to spend on myself and so at  home workouts work best for ME!! I get to have the flexibility of doing workouts when it is best for me!! For the past 5 weeks I have been doing a hybrid schedule of two programs - Focus T25 and Chalean Extreme!!

THIS

Chalean Extreme is by far my FAVORITE program ever!! This is the program I started with back in Feb. 2012 and I truly believe it was meant to be. I learned how to use weights properly, I learned I could push myself, I learned I could get up early to workout, and best of all Chalene Johnson is an incredible motivator. I lost 17 pounds and 21 inches with this program!! This took me to my goal weight!! But best of all I found a program I loved and enjoyed doing!!

Then last July 2013 Shaun T introduced his 25 minute workout!!
Hello 25 minutes for a workout - where do I sign up!! I was very hesitant though because it was pure cardio. Cardio is my least favorite form of exercise but I wanted the 25 minute workout so I sucked it up and gave it a whirl!! Well lets just say Shaun T gave me a whirl!! Wow, who knew 25 minutes could fly by so fast and I could sweat so much!! By this time in my fitness I had already reached my goal weight so maintaining that weight was important for me. After completing T25 I maintained my body weight and I lost an additional 4 inches overall. If you know me, you know it looks like I don't have many inches to lose but T25 proved otherwise!! This was by far my hardest to get through program. 

Now a few weeks ago I was getting ready to start a new Focus T25 Health and Fitness group and I hadn't done T25 in quite some time so to refresh my memory I wanted to do the workout along with the group. Knowing myself and how much I don't like Cardio I knew I needed something else to go along with it. Well what better to add in than my all time favorite program - Chalean Extreme. 

So I came up with the following schedule.... (adding in some PiYo here and there too!)

I have to say these past 5 weeks I have not been as spot on with my workouts and my healthy eating!! I have had much going on in my life that has distracted me and that is all my own fault for allowing it to distract me!! I was very anxious to see my results today when I took my first round progress pictures and measurements. I know from looking at myself that my once defined abdominals began to pooch again and that is all because of the food I was allowing myself to have. During these five weeks I have seen that pooch diminish but it is not completely gone, but trust me IT WILL BE when I am done!! 

I am happy to report that I have maintained my body weight, I have lost 1 inch in my hips.  To some this might not be anything amazing but to me it is. I knew I didn't stay on track as best as I could and I really thought I was going to see gains rather than losses. I am perfectly happy with where I am at for the work I have done. Could I have done better? You bet!! Will I do better these next 5 weeks - you bet!!

and now the part that is oh so scary for me...my progress pics

There you have it!! I completed Round 1 of my T25/Chalean Extreme hybrid!!

Today started Beta of T25 and I am ready to kick it into high gear these next 5 weeks!!

Now is the time to learn how to live a 

FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life 

and we will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!

T25 - Are you up for the Challenge?

One of the biggest objections I get from people when I'm talking to them about working out (or why they dont work out) is that they don't have the time. I totally get it!  See nowadays most of us are so strapped for time that FINDING the time to exercise tends to be pushed aside.  

Who has time to drive to the gym?

Who has time to wait around at the gym?

Who has time for a 60 minute class?

Almost a year ago now a hot new workout program became available that was going to change the lives of MANY!!!! because now there was no "I Don't Have time to Exercise Excuse!" The solution - FOCUS T25!!

This program is 25 minutes a day for 10 weeks!! 

It normally takes more than 25 minutes to drive to the gym and back!!  Hello with this program you do not have to leave your house, therefore you are SAVING TIME from the get go!! 

Think about it this way, You would be finished your workout in 25 minutes - if you drove to the gym , you would not have even stepped foot outside your car yet!!   

People this your ticket you have been waiting for - 
25 minutes a day!!!!!

You spend more time fiddling around on the internet than that!! If you were one of those people that said "I don't have time to exercise" well this program is for you!! You have the same amount of hours in your day that everyone else does. Find the time to exercise and your body will thank you!!

It is all about TIME and FOCUS T25 is about getting 

MAXIMUM RESULTS in a MINIMAL amount of TIME. 
This program is all about those 25 minutes and making sure you have  
pure intensity, 100% focus, no rest...
You can rest when you are done!!

Why Focus T25 works...

FOCUS T25 is broken out in 3 segments - Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.  Each of these sections are 25 days.  The Alpha and Beta are included in the Base FOCUS T25 kit and the Gamma is an upgrade.

ALPHA Section

Cardio

Total Body Circuit

Lower Body Focus

Ab Intervals

Speed 1.0

BETA section

Upper Focus

Core Cardio

Speed 2.0

Dynamic Core

Rip Circuit


GAMMA section
4 additional workouts about resistance training and strength building.
Note: this section is sold separately from the Alpha and Beta Base Kit.  

YES, this program is INTENSE but Shaun T. went above and beyond this time and made sure he created a program that is for EVERY fitness level out there.  There is a modifier in FOCUS T25 - Tania from Insanity!! She is back and this time she is helping those that need to lower the intensity a bit BUT she is still moving fast and she will still help you get the RESULTS you have been wanting for so long!! She does no jumping!! If you have knee issues or some other kind of problem where jumping is not recommended this is 

YOUR ANSWER!!!!

Also, If you need to take a breather, press pause (beauty of at-home workouts) and catch your breath or get a drink of water. Then Press Play again!!

And now some results to share with you...

YOU want Results? YOU want to challenge yourself some more? YOU want to simply GET STARTED? Whatever your reason is, here is a great program to start with - Focus T25.  What is also FANTASTIC is that for the month of April you can get your very own copy of T25 and more for a discounted price!! Sweet right?!?!

Now the next zinger is I am hosting an exclusive FOCUS T25 Health and Fitness Challenge group that will begin Monday, April 28th!! (just in time to get yourself on the right path before we enter the Summer Season!!) 

These health and fitness groups are the way to make this all work for the long haul!! No more back and forth in your weight, in your diet. I will help you learn how to build those healthy habits for Working Out AND Eating Healthy!! Then add in support and accountability and you have the ultimate equation to SUCCESS!!!!
