FOCUS T25 Core Speed Shaun T 25 minute Core Workout DVD

Since purchased, had 4 good workout sessions. I like the DVD because you get a good workout and breakout into a real sweat and for someone who does not exercise regularly I feel as though I've worked out and worked hard!! For those like me who are getting back into the exercise routine, I found 25 minutes went quickly and Shaun T really keeps you motived and focused to get through the exercises. Some of the exercises although following the, what I would call low impact version is still too quick for me,but just keep going you will eventually pick up the pace and the steps (sometime I end up doing 30mins as I rewind in order to master the steps) its still a good DVD to workout to. Yet to see results as have to make it apart of my daily routine.Sticking with the easy version of the exercises for now, as one arm burpees.....NO way am I up to that standard yet :) but give it time... Overall I'd say its a DVD to buy 25 minutes out of your day or evening is a doddle...before you know it the 25 minutes is over!

It looks so easy lol, think again. If you thought you were fit this will separate the haves from the have nots. Its a great workout and it gives you a fabulous feeling afterwards, definitely a sense of accomplishment that makes you want to up your game. If you don't want to rush to the gym before it closes or just prefer your own company while you work out then this is definitely the one for you

I like Core Speed which acts as a replacement for Beta Speed 2.0. I felt like a got more of a work out with Core Speed than I did Speed 2.0 as it is a little more challenging, however if you're wanting something to really help you get your heart racing then go straight for Gamma Speed 3.0. Personally if I knew then that Speed 2.0 is only used 4 times in the Beta phase after you're able to progress onto Gamma 2 weeks early I would have never bought core speed, but if you're not using Gamma then Core speed is defiantly worth it.If you want some comparrisons here are my statistics; I'm 5'4" and weigh 8st 5lbs and in relative good fitness, I wear a heart rate monitor during my workouts to show my heart rate and calories burned . These are the results I have had:Beta Speed 2.0 275 calories burned (on average)Core Speed 303 calories burned (on average)

Core speed, absolutely brilliant. Not for the first timers. If you want to do this DVD, must do the alpha,beta discs first to get use to the routines. I've always done insanity, so I'm use to Mr T,s workouts. This workout is excellent core work for my running. Buy it and " Focus"....

Not sure what the fuss is about. Bought for my mum who was adament this dvd would be the one to make her lose weight. Workout was decent, but as with other dvds the novelty wears off and becomes routine. For 25 quid a piece, not worth it. Saying that, it may be the opposite for others.

Ok I know that I am out of shape but seriously could not keep up with the girl that did the low impact moves for a couple of weeks! Getting there doing a mixture of low to mid impact - I am dedicating time now to do this - just not managing every day - do zumba inbetween. I like it - once I have this mastered will try one of Shaun's other work outs. It is fun and I am slowly starting to feel the benefits - unfortuantely there is a lot to work at before I will start to look like I am working out. Since starting the workouts feel mentally happier and it is a great way to get rid of the stress of the day and it takes 25 minutes - I can sit and watch nothing on tv or I can work out and feel great - decided on the second option.

Please Note: You need to have completed Focus T25 Alpha to get the benefit from this disk as it's designed to be part of the Beta cycle (i.e. the second of the 5 week programmes contained in your Focus T25 basic pack). Do not buy it as a standalone workout if you haven't already done any other Focus T25 because you'll find it very hard work and it needs to be used as part of the overall programme. Core Speed is a single 25-minute workout designed to be swapped with the Speed 2.0 workout in your Beta cycle, if you're looking for a bit more variety in the range of workouts and exercises available. In that sense, it's a very useful addition because it does contain quite a few different exercises (or variations on exercises) that you won't have seen in the other Alpha or Beta workouts - single arm burpees, power knee lifts, 180 degree cross-jumps, burpee cross-jumps and much more - all done at a frenetic pace that's initially daunting but which you'll acclimatise to if you give yourself time.This brings me to the downside of the product... There really is NO good reason that this disk wasn't included in the basic Focus T25 pack to begin with. US & Canada customers of Teambeachbody.com get it as a free gift for ordering the Focus T25 basic pack. Not so for UK customers. So while the disk is a good product, it does feel you leaving slightly peeved that UK customers get treated less favourably than the US customers - especially considering the amount of money you have to pay to buy Focus T25 to begin with. Having this as an extra thing to buy just leaves you feeling a bit like they're trying to milk the UK customers for what they can get and this is a real shame because Focus T25 is a genuinely good and effective programme. The marketers really don't need to pull this sort of nonsense with their international customers. If it had been part of the set to begin with I'd have rated it higher. It's as good as the other workouts but if you are on Beta Cycle and happy with the Speed 2.0 workout then regard this as a 'if you've got the money to spend' purchase rather than a 'must-have'.

This clearly is not the original thing, the sound does not work on it either at the beginning, and then when it starts they guy is talking to you and music playing it keeps cutting out, very disappointed and complete waste of time and money
