This is the final week of my 10 week challenge group for Focus T25.  I am proud to say I have completed this 10 week journey.  To be honest with you this is the longest I have ever stuck with one workout program.  Yes, I workout daily but usually I start a fitness program and use it for 4 to 6 weeks then get bored with it and move on to another program or type of exercise.

I think being in the facebook challenge group was very positive and motivating and helped me stay focused to do the complete 10 week program.  It was a fun and encouraging to read others’ posts and post your own workouts each day.  I also have gotten to know some amazing and truly committed fitness people who are such a positive inspiration.  I would encourage anyone who is starting a new fitness program to give a facebook group a try, if one is available, and be a participator in the posts and discussions.  It can only help you succeed.

The following are some of my final T25 photo collages for week 5 of Beta and week 10 of the overall program:

My overall final review on this 10 week program is that it was truly amazing!  The workouts are a challenge and they will give you results -especially if you follow a clean eating plan!  This program has greatly improved my physical stamina as well as given me a very strong and tight core.  I also have much more tone in my legs.   I have lost inches – mainly in my waist and hips.  I have lost over 2 inches now in the hip area in 10 weeks!  Other benefits I have noticed include:  sleeping better (more soundly – I didn’t really have any sleep issues to start with other than an occasional night of not sleeping well), increased daily energy, more positive outlook on life,  improved skin tone – I think all that sweating is some form of a facial!  Also Shaun T, the creator of the program and the instructor, is so positive and motivating – you can not help but want to wake up and workout.  He has been a great positive source of energy and influence on my mental attitude the last two months.

If you are looking for a program to change your body as well as your life I would recommend Focus T25.  It is a workout that you can do in less than 30 minutes per day 5 to 6 days per week and get great results.       Note:  I am not affiliated with Focus T25 or BeachBody.  I am just a 40 something mother of 3 who has been working out on my own to various books or dvd programs for the past 10 years and decided to share my experience.

I hope you enjoyed my reviews on the weekly progress of T25.  Currently I am doing another challenge called Rocktober from the Betty Rocker.  It is for the whole month of October so I will be posting updates on that each week.  I will also be starting my new Cathe Friedrich workouts that I received last week – I had preordered them back in March.  There are 8 dvd’s and I can’t wait to use them in the coming weeks!

Have a great weekend!
