Focus T25 - Alpha Stage

Done! Yes! Huráááááááá!


Have you heard about “new” Shaun T’s work-out program? No? Then no worries, I’m here to change that. If you belong to the group of people who don’t like or can’t afford spending money for gym or zumba/spinning/bikram yoga/ (add what you like) classes and like to exercise on their own in the privacy of their homes, then this post is made just for you.

Lots of people know Shaun T due to his insane work-out program called INSANITY. I was also one of those jumping/sprinting/squatting/lounging crazy people who exercised everyday with this guy for at least 55 minutes a day. I gotta say, it didn’t work for me. I honestly did it all without cheating, every single day for the whole two months and my body couldn’t be happier after I finally finished. It was so hard on me that even my period stopped for the time I was exercising and didn’t come back until I finished. But that’s probably why Shaun came up with something else, something called FOCUS T25. Why T25? Because every workout lasts mere 25 minutes! Sounded like heaven to me when I first heard about it. And my intuition was right. It’s really great. I mean, don’t be confused, it’s still freaking HARD. One wouldn’t believe how long 25 minutes can be.


It’s divided into 4 stages – alpha, beta, pure gamma and strength hybrid gamma. As you could guess from the title of this post, I just nailed the alpha stage! And I’m looking forward to starting with beta. I must add that even though it’s called just alpha, don’t expect anything easy as I did. If you think that sweating hours with Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper or whoever else have prepared you for this, then you’re probably wrong. But I still encourage you to try this! Who wouldn’t want to be fit thanks to only 25 minutes per day?

Yoga - The Ultimate Tool for Peacefulness (a.k.a. Ode to Sadie Nardini)

I decided to share my secret with the world and possibly even help someone to discover this magical thing called yoga.

Yeah, I know. I doubt there is anyone left who has no idea what yoga actually is. In the last few years, yoga has experienced a massive booooom among people of all classes, nationalities and religions or beliefs. And do you know what I think? It's terrific!!!

Sadie Nardini... Does the name ring a bell? No? How is that even possible? No, just kidding. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea who she is either (and I'm both ashamed and sorry for that). But then it happened. I discovered one of her yoga videos on youtube and I immediately fell in love. Here she is, take a look.

Likable, isn't she? Wait till you exercise with her.

I have my history with yoga. It has been pretty unstable relationship full of break-ups and getting-back-togethers. But during all these years, I have never felt anything like what I feel when I practise with Sadie! And I swear I'm not exaggerating. After all, you tell me what you think after "meeting" her. Or do you already have some experience with this lady?

Here are some of my top-videos of hers:
