It showed up only when using or stretching my ab muscles and I ended up stopping the program after five weeks. I jumped in head first, followed the workout schedule as outlined in the program, and about three weeks in noticed a sharp but inconsistent pain just below my rib cage on the right side. It was that time a little over a year ago where I attempted to start working out again after almost eight years of very little exercise and working a desk job. With that in mind, let me back up a bit to my first experience with T25. When I started this blog, I promised that I would be 100% honest with you no matter what.

The next five weeks move you into the Beta Phase, same schedule of workouts, but rotating through a new set of five workouts that focus on one area at a time for one minute until you fatigue the area. For the first five weeks, you are in the Alpha Phase, rotating through five workouts:ĭuring the Alpha Phase, the week is structured with one workout a day for four days, two workouts on the day five, rest on day six, and stretching on day seven. It is similar to Insanity or P90X, but condensed into a non-stop 25 minute workout.įocus T25 consists of ten 25 minute workouts. T25 program is an intense full-body workout program, working every major muscle group with no breaks. For Whole30 Round 2, I’m adding the Focus T25 program.įocus T25 from Beachbody On Demand is a home workout video series designed by Shaun T, creator of the Insanity video workout series. The way I work best is to dive right in and go all in, so I’m not starting off slow. So after documenting our experience doing a straight Whole30, only modifying our eating habits, I wanted to do it again, but this time add exercise and document my experience with both diet modification and working out. Documenting my first Whole30 here on the blog was very helpful in terms of accountability and it’s been really great content in terms of reader interest.

Other than hiking with the family, I haven’t worked out in at least a year, and before that it had been about 8 years. On the other hand, I decided to add exercise to the second round of Whole30.

I have to admit, it’s been pretty freaking amazing not dealing with any inconsistent digestive issues over the past month - and we are excited for this feeling to continue. Overall, it wasn’t that big of a deal! And the longer we stuck with it, the easier it became to skip the sugar and grains.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, I thought it’d be overwhelming and difficult to stick to the strict Whole30 rules, and we had to navigate staying Whole30 while road tripping, over a holiday, during date nights and concerts, and at birthday parties. At first, I was a little apprehensive getting started with Whole30. Brian and I felt so great after completing Whole30 that we both decided to turn our Whole30 into a Whole60.
