Abstract

“Focus T25”is a high-intensity exercise program. It is produced by beach body and led by world renowned personal trainer Shaun-T. Shaun-T was the program creator of the incredibly popular Insanity program which is a bit longer in duration. “Focus T25” takes around 25 minutes with 2-5 minutes of stretching after 25-minute workout.

Overall, “Focus T25” increases muscular strength, power and endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, speed, balance and flexibility. In addition, it improves body temperature regulation. Therefore, it could be benefit for health promotion. However, if we do it wrong we may get injury from its high intensity and jumping.

Beneficial physiological effects of “Focus T25” following by precaution and termination of the exercise are summarized. This may help exercisers gain full benefit from “Focus T25” with safety.
