Has anyone tried the T25 workout. Is it worth the money?

I've only done one episode of it, but you can't tell by one.I've done Insanity and that I can say, it's worth the money.I love the workout.Dropped 2 pounds the first day and I hadn't started eating well back then.And after a few weeks you really see the result.But I didn't stick on it.Only did like 3 weeks because I'm lazy and I wasn't motivated.The only problem with Insanity is that it's insane.I mean you could really hurt yourself or your heart could beat way too fast, but you usually get used to it after the first week, but the workout itself is dangerous.They say 25 is like Insanity but in 25min which is half right, because in t25 you kind of don't have any breaks.

It is not worth the money.

[Asker]

It looks like it is

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

It isn't. :(

[Asker]

Have you tried it?

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

Yes.

[Asker]

Whats wrong with it?

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

I feel that it requires preconditioning. It's very hard on the body but that isn't good when you're sedentary. All it does is open you to injury. It's more tailored in my opinion to people of a more active constant lifestyle. It is unsafe and unhealthy for most people who would desire that level of result.

[Asker]

I'm already active. Thanks for your opinion :)

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

If you are already active why wouldn't you take something like ballet?

[Asker]

lol ballet is extremely boring. I'm looking into getting more in shape.

Okay, a little secret: T25 and Insanity use models. The reason the programs are always 90~120 days is specifically because of the conditioning I mentioned. After the first month or so your body will naturally form muscle, regardless of what workout you do, therefore you are no better off doing T25 than you would be some other form of less intensive and destructive exercise.

The only reason I even bother to say that is because T25 is specifically designed to appeal to people who are not terribly active. If you are active you should pursue a sport or a dedicated form of exercise, even including choreography and dancing, because it will actually make you stronger beyond the first 4 months and isn't just a trick up some guys sleeve.

A mild correction; I pulled out the little insert and it's only 60 days running a Conditioning and Burn Phase model instead. It won't make you strong and if you're not fat it won't help you much. The joys of gift giving?
