Here's 15 Tips to get you started with Focus T25:
1) Get your mind right.
This next 60 days are gonna take a lot of FOCUS. I give you full permission to ignore all the haters
, and anyone trying to tell you that you can't reach your goal. You cannot afford distractions. Focus on YOU for once. You're worth it.
2) Clear all the "junk" out of your fridge. Give it away to a lazy neighbor. Just get rid of anything that won't help you get to your goals. Don't worry about your family being upset about it either...let them know how important your goals are, and that you could use their support.
3) Set up a workout space. Clear out a space(you don't need much) where you can go daily to get your workout in without any distractions. Some suggestions are you're bedroom, the basement, garage, or take over the living room if you don't have any other options.
4) "Before" Pics & Measurements. NOBODY likes to do these, I totally understand. Back when I was at my heaviest I was so scared to take before pics, so I get it! Just look at where you are now as the "old you". This is one of those things where you just want to get it over with, so don't wait! Take your befor pics asap. You'll be happy you did.
TIP - Take updated pics every 15 or 30 days until the end of your program.
5) Check out the Meal Plan Guide(and stick to it!) This one sounds simple, but most people totally overlook it, or don't even know it's in the box. The reason I like the meal plans are because it takes all the guesswork out of what you should be eating. Also, I've discovered a lot of healthy yummy foods that I would have never tried before. Plus, you're guaranteed to get the results as long as you follow it and stay consistent with your workouts. PLEASE don't skip this one.
6) Consistency! This is CRUCIAL to your results. We tend to start a new program, get all fired up, miss a day, which turns into 2 or 3, and before we know it our whole plan is messed up. Then, since we miss so many days, we usually figure "I'll just start over since I missed so many days."
Here's what to do: On your scheduled workout days, even if you can't squeeze in the whole 25 minute workout, at least do 12-15 minutes of it. Something is better than nothing. The main thing is to do whatever you have to, to not skip days. Also, physiologically you feel better because you didn't let your excuse of being "too busy" stop you. We're ALL busy. If this is something you really want, MAKE the time.
7) Pick a time to workout every day. Remember, consistency is KEY for sticking to this. You're gonna want to have a set time each day that you're committed to working out, no matter what. Consider this as "You time". A time to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and focus on YOU for once.
8) Stay Away From The Scale!! Whatever you do, don't get caught up with weighing yourself too often. Reason being, if we don't see that scale move within a few days we start wondering if what we're doing is even working. If you absolutely have to, wait at least 2 weeks, and then weigh yourself.
9) Keep it Real. Be honest with yourself about what it's going to take you changing, in order to stick to Focus T25 for the 60 days. It might take you cutting out drinking every weekend, or going out to eat. I know, especially for some people, this is a huge sacrifice, but it WILL be worth it.
10) Alcohol. Hear me our on this one. You don't have to go cold turkey with the drinks. I like to get my drink on too. Just do it in moderation, and order drinks that don't have so many calories. Ex: Shots instead of a mixed drink OR a vodka cranberry instead of a vodka red bull. Stay away from drinks that have carbonation.
Another thing to keep in mind is to not binge eat after you've been drinking. I know after I've had a few, all inhibition for what I'm eating goes out the window. I'll find myself going to the late night drive thru. My advice is to wait until you get home to eat. Something you throw together at home, 9 times out of 10, is going to be healthier than what you would have eaten while you were out.
11) Pick up a Mat. My apartment is on the 2nd floor. If you have neighbors that live below, and you're worried about making too much noise, I'd get a jump mat. Your neighbors will thank you for this one.
12) Say "NO" to drugs. I know I sound like your parents right now lol. When I say "drugs" I mean the foods that are addicting(fried foods, soda, cakes, cookies, chips, energy drinks, etc..) For me, it took saying "NO" to coworkers when they wanted to order food for lunch, or skipping the birthday cake when we celebrated a birthday. Stick to your guns, and say "NO" to anything that's going to keep you stuck and not getting results.
13) Shoes! I recommend getting a pair of athletic running shoes. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. I wear a pair of Nike Air Max that cost $60 and they work great. Trying to do this type of workout barefoot or in shoes without some sort of padding will kill your feet(I've tried it) lol.
14) Stick to the Schedule. Focus T25 comes with a 60-day calendar to guide you as far as which workout to do every day. This takes out all the guesswork, and as long as you follow it, you'll get the results.
TIP: Hang the calendar somewhere you'll see it every day like on your fridge or on the wall in your workout area.
15) Shakeology. For me, this is an easy way to make sure I'm getting all the nutrition I need each day. I was a skeptic of all shakes and pills because they had never worked for me in the past. What made me try shakeology was knowing that if I didn't like it for whatever reason, I could get 100% of my money back in 30 days.
Since then I've lost 65 lbs, have been able to KEEP it off, I have a lot more energy, and rarely get cravings. If diet and knowing what to eat is a problem for you like it has always been for me, I'd recommend to try shakeology for 30 days and let your body be the judge.
