We’re recently contacted by Traci Morrow to review Shaun T’s and Beachbody’s workout program titled Focus T25. I must however admit that I was very skeptical at first. Shaun T proved me very wrong. By adjusting each exercise and making you focus (no pun intended) on getting your heart rate up going and working your muscles in ways you never imagined.
What is Focus T25?
Focus T25 is a total-body conditioning program designed to transform your body in about 10 weeks. The program is built around you working out for 25 minutes at a high intensity level with no resting what so ever. Studies have shown that as little as 30 minutes of exercise can be as effective at burning fat and even more effective than doing 60 minutes of exercise.
The only thing standing between you and the results you want is TIME. Shaun T experimented for the last year to design a program that delivers the same kind of results you’d expect from an hour-long program, in under 30 minutes. He’s pulled out the rest to give you everything you need, nothing you don’t. The result is FOCUS T25—and the name implies the intent: If you focus your intensity for 25 minutes, and you do it 5 days a week, you WILL get results.

My Review
I personally thought that Focus T25 was a great product overall. My favorite part was that each workout was only 25 minutes. For someone like me that enjoys working out in the gym rather than at home, this was a great and fun cardio alternative. Even on my busiest days I could find 25 minutes to bang out a workout. Just like any workout program, Focus T25 has both its pros and cons, although I still think overall that the program is great.
Pros
- Time savings: Do more in less time. These 25- minutes workouts will make you burn as many calories as a 50-minute workout due to the intensity and focus.
- Muscle Confusion: By changing your workout routine in terms of length and intensity you will surprise your body, which in turn can help you break through a weight loss or athletic performance plateau.
- Eliminate excuses: Get back on track with your fitness at any age. Even a very busy person can find 25 minutes to work out on five/six days a week.
- Killer Core Workout: T25 will help you get the elusive six-pack since each exercise utilizes the core.
Cons
- If you travel, you’ll have to bring your DVDs with you while on the road.
Conclusion
If you don’t have time to go to the gym, or can’t afford a membership, give Focus T25 a try. This is a workout that you can do at home and at any time. It’s put together so that anyone can do the exercises.
