Do what works best for you, and keep in mind the most important thing is to listen to your body, set sensible goals and enjoy the ride to get there.įor the Alpha series you won’t need any special equipment, all exercises use exclusively your own body.

I don’t pay attention to the diet component of any of these systems, all I want is a nice, effective workout. Anyone will have a pretty dramatic change in the body following this gruesome method. In the diet, you will consume from 1,200 to 1,600 calories per day (and that range applies for men too). When you open the box of FocusT25, one of the things you will find is a recommended diet to follow for 5 days as you go through your first week of the program. One important thing to add: all the videos promise a full transformation in your body if you follow them to a T. I didn’t do that, so this review will cover only the first phase. If you are in top shape you could potentially skip the “Alpha” and go for the kill. Nine DVDs total, five routines for the so-called “Alpha-Phase” that should last for a month, and five for the “Beta-Phase”, that would take 4 more weeks. And, let’s face it, his looks don’t hurt either. However, even if those workouts did not appeal to me, I thought Shaun T’s enthusiasm and personality made him a great fitness instructor. I am familiar with Insanity (did the first workout a couple of times), but it is too focused on aerobics and better suited for those interested in losing weight.

I have bought one of his series in the past, the Hip Hop Abs, but did not care for it. I immediately went online to read reviews and watch the infomercial about it. The instructor, Shaun T, is also the guy behind the famous Insanity workout. Last month I got an email from advertising a new product, the series called FOCUS T25. In fact, one tricky aspect of Tony Horton’s classics is that each video is at least 52 minutes long, with the YogaX demanding 90 minutes of my time. When picking a new routine, two things are important to me: they need to be challenging, but shorter than P90X. However, I am always up for trying different videos, as four and a half years of Tony can get a bit repetitive. I already wrote two reviews about his systems: for P90X click here, for P90X2 click here. No recipe included.įor those who have been around my blog for a while, it’s obvious that I am addicted to Tony Horton’s exercise routines.
