>> announcer: don't miss these inspirational stories of cancer survival in the following program brought to you by cancer treatment centers of america. >> announcer: this is a story about fighting cancer, a story about fighting complex and advanced-stage cancers heartbreaking cancers, but it's not a tragedy as you might expect. it's a comeback story, because these people -- rod, melanie and terry -- sought and found a different way to fight these difficult cancers -- a way, as it turns out, that was just right for them. their stories will challenge you. they will inspire you. but most importantly, they will

give you the one thing those with complex or advanced-stage cancers need more than anything else -- hope. hope that there could be a different way, a better way that could make them believe in tomorrows again. and though our heroes begin their journeys in different parts of the country, they will all pass through the doors of cancer treatment centers of america -- a place that never gives up, a place where they do things differently, where clinical expertise state-of-the-art technology, and integrative treatment options provide patients with treatment plans they, themselves, have a say in. taking command of their own treatment -- that's what fighters do, and if there's anyone who knows about fighting cancer, it's rod echols -- a young man married to the love of his life, a dad dedicated to raising his children... >> daddy! yes! >> announcer: ...a person who has just too much living left to do.

>> first time i saw her, i was like, "oh, yeah." [ laughs ] i was like, "yeah, that's the one." >> bingo! >> announcer: rod and keisha have been married for six years and have two beautiful children. >> wake up. [ laughter ] >> [ laughs ] >> rod and i make a good team. we actually refer to ourselves as team echols. >> my favorite part about being a dad is just to see their faces in the morning when i wake them up. >> we got, at any given time, 10 different things going on that we're juggling. preston eats all of his breakfast. >> announcer: rod and keisha had every day planned down to the minute. they were a well-oiled machine. but in june of 2012, something went wrong. >> i wasn't feeling, you know, up to par. you know when something's not right going on in your body, so that's what kind of triggered me to go in. >> announcer: rod scheduled a colonoscopy and received the results the following day. >> [ voice breaking ] and the doctor came in with this very

serious look on his face [sighs] with some pictures and said that he found something that he's pretty sure that it's cancer. >> the first you think about is your wife and your kids and your family. you think about what would life be like for them without you. >> announcer: with his family in mind, rod had surgery immediately to remove the cancer. after the surgery, they discovered the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. he was told he needed a second surgery that he felt was too invasive. >> and it came back after my follow-up that i needed a second surgery. and that's when i said i need a second opinion. >> announcer: rod got that second opinion at cancer treatment centers of america, a hospital that focuses on treating complex and advanced-stage cancers. >> walking into cancer treatment centers of america, we both felt like, "we're here. we're in the right place. it's really gonna be okay now." >> announcer: rod and keisha met with his entire care team, that included dr. christian hyde, a radiation oncologist. >> rod came in with a pretty advanced cancer, and it had

spread into some lymph nodes in the area. and i remember thinking, "he's just like me." almost the same life circumstances as far as having kids and raising a family. he just happens to have cancer. >> announcer: rod's care team reviewed his case and presented him with some options. >> we combined chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery in order to shrink the tumor so that the surgeon could take it out in one complete piece. >> announcer: this approach allowed the surgery to be minimally invasive and gave rod a choice he was comfortable with. >> i feel like this was the right way for me, the right treatment for me, the right process for me to go through. >> announcer: in addition to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, rod's treatment plan included naturopathic medicine and nutrition to help him stay healthy during treatment and keep up with his family's busy schedule. >> nutrition plays a very big role in cancer treatment. things that i will do is help to guide them through the types of food to eat for a balanced diet and also strategies to help if

he's having some type of side effect that may be compromising his nutritional status. rod's treatment has actually been great. he hasn't had that many side effects. >> i was able to go through chemo and radiation at the same time and go to work on the same day. it was active, and it was also you know, a way for me to feel normal. >> rod continued to work full time during his treatment. i don't know how, 'cause some days, you know, were rough days, but he just was a trouper. i really respect the guy, 'cause he didn't complain and he didn't slack and he didn't skip. he just said, "we got to do this, and i'm gonna do it." and he did it. >> announcer: after his second surgery and follow-up chemotherapy, rod and keisha sat down with dr. george daneker his surgical oncologist, to find out the results. >> this is your pre-operative scan, so you can see where we connected things back together right there. this looks good. this was connected.

none of this contrast leaked out. i mean, the reality is that you're so healthy it'll heal beautifully, so that's the advantage. we were able to really do a very complete and precise operation and it's really extremely satisfying for all of us that rod has done well and he continues to do well. my hope is that rod will be able to live a normal life, that the effects of his treatment will be minimum, that he will be able to enjoy his wife and his family just like anybody can. >> announcer: with his scans looking good, rod will continue with his treatment plan. back at home, he's enjoying spending time with his wife and children. >> the kids and the family motivated me -- not letting them see me down, just being positive and taking control of the situation and not letting it have control over me. >> ride 'em, cowboy! [ laughs ] >> i may be tired, exhausted but as soon as i wake up in the morning, it's like, "make it a great day."

>> [ smooches ] rod's diagnosis changed my perspective in that you have to enjoy those little things. don't sweat the small stuff. the experience has definitely made us stronger as a couple. to see him, oh, go through this with the strength that he has has been wonderful for me to see. >> cancer treatment center of america had everything under one roof. it's perfect. i know that everyone there has my best interests at heart. it makes you feel like you're a part of the family. i think this whole process of going through cancer has given me a different outlook and a different take on life. it's a new normal for me right now, but i know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. >> announcer: when you're fighting cancer, every day counts, every decision counts, and the choice of who helps you in that fight can be the most important decision of all. >> my whole world just, like stopped -- shut down.

>> the doctor called, and he said, "your lymph nodes came back positive." >> i saw the look in her face. right then and there, everything just stopped. >> we did lots of research. >> we knew jeana had a complicated case. >> so we got a second opinion at cancer treatment centers of america. >> announcer: at cancer treatment centers of america, every single patient receives an individualized treatment plan. we not only have state-of-the-art technologies but also offer integrative treatment options to help relieve symptoms related to treatment. acupuncture helps reduce anxiety and stress, naturopathic medicine helps decrease side effects, spiritual support helps promote a positive outlook nutrition helps boost the immune system, and mind/body therapy combines stress management counseling, and relaxation therapies to enhance overall well-being. every patient is placed at the center of an integrated care team where all of the doctors, specialists, and clinicians you

when most cancer patients can't even imagine getting out of bed in the morning, let alone going for 30-mile bike rides, melanie found a way to do just that. >> sideways jumping jack sideways jumping jack. >> announcer: as a fitness and wellness director in a retirement community in portland, oregon, melanie helps seniors stay active. >> i just love working with seniors. it's fun. you get to laugh and joke, and my goal is to try to have them maintain their independence as long as possible. continue doing side steps. where are you going, betty? >> announcer: outside of work, melanie competes in triathlons. in the summer of 2011, she was training hard. >> i competed in my first half ironman aquabike, but i was really, really tired afterwards, and i was spotting, so i was getting a little concerned. i have gone through menopause, and you're not supposed to spot. i come home from the race. i call the doctor, and they said, "hey, we're gonna do an endometrial biopsy just to make sure."

>> announcer: one week later she got a call from her doctor. >> she goes, "i hate to tell you this. you have cancer." i was told that i had carcinosarcoma, which is a very rare form of cancer, and it's very aggressive, and you need to address it right away. >> when mel found out she had cancer, um... i'm gonna cry. um...it was really hard on me emotionally, because she is a good friend and somebody my kids value in their life. so, it was. it was a really scary time, and you never want your loved ones to hurt. >> announcer: melanie had surgery immediately. her portland doctor suggested very heavy chemotherapy treatment. she says she didn't think she would survive it. >> it just sounded too harsh. i don't like drugs. my body doesn't like drugs. as an athlete, i didn't want

kidney damage or bladder damage, and so i knew there had to be a better way. >> announcer: melanie searched for a place where she could get a treatment plan tailored to her specific needs. she heard about cancer treatment centers of america. >> and they got me here within a week, 'cause, again, i was on a timeline. i needed to get a second opinion and figure out what protocol we were gonna use to treat my cancer. >> hi. how are you? >> i am doing good. how are you doing? >> good to see you. >> announcer: dr. sagun shrestha says many oncologists never see carcinosarcoma of the uterus because of how extremely rare it is. but because cancer treatment centers of america focuses on treating complex and advanced cancers, dr. shrestha has treated patients with it. melanie expressed her concern about the harsh chemotherapy treatment she had been offered so dr. shrestha began researching alternatives to make the chemo and radiation as smooth as possible. >> she ended up calling me four days later, and said, "hey we're gonna be able to do four

treatments of the less-toxic chemo." and i was very happy with that. and i said, "are you confident about that?" she goes, "yes. very confident." >> most of the time, the treatment options are doing surgery followed by either chemotherapy and radiation together versus the spreading of treatment. so, what we decided was chemotherapy first and then radiation therapy. >> we gave her five weeks of external radiation and also something called brachytherapy. brachytherapy is actually internal radiation, and it allows us to give more radiation without causing damage to the surrounding structures. >> announcer: although most patients are exhausted from their treatment, melanie wanted to stay active. >> she's doing an extraordinary amount of activity, so she really needed a lot of support nutritionally, both to keep those activities up, which she did all throughout her treatment, and also to keep her body in shape for the treatment. >> announcer: melanie was able to continue her athletic training throughout her

treatment, which kept her in shape for future competitions. >> three or four months after i got home from radiation, i competed in my first triathlon. i got third place. by july, i had my fastest time ever. i got first place, and so... cancer treatment centers of america and the people who treated me -- they helped me be able to do that type of performance. >> all right. thanks, my dear. >> announcer: it's been six months, and melanie is back for a checkup. >> this woman got bike maps for me so that i could bike when i was doing radiation. and she went out of her way to go get them. >> announcer: after her scans, melanie hears the results from her oncologist, dr. shrestha. >> the c.a.t. scan of the chest is normal. there's no disease. nothing new. c.a.t. scan of the abdomen and pelvis -- everything looks fine. no evidence of disease at this time. >> fantastic. >> okay? nothing new. >> yay! >> it's nice to be cancer-free one more time, so it's like peace of mind for six more months. iggy, pick a number between 200 and 220. >> 210. >> announcer: back in portland

melanie is on the job at the senior center. >> oh, nice shot! >> announcer: being able to train throughout her treatment melanie found the quality of life she was looking for at cancer treatment centers of america. >> mel is back. she is 110%. she is riding her bike. she is running. she is swimming. she hasn't skipped a beat. >> every day on earth is a fantastic day, and, again, i owe that all to cancer treatment centers of america. i mean, they just did a fantastic job. you can't ask for anything more. >> announcer: why should every cancer patient get a second opinion? >> do you really understand all it is about the type of cancer that you have? have you done some research on it? have you asked your doctor as many questions as you possibly can think of? coming into cancer treatment centers and receiving their opinion, for me, was like, finally, the search is over.

he could as they entered retirement. he never imagined that he would be the one needing help. >> i am an only child and, you know, when i moved out here, i wanted to be there for them -- my dad and my mother. >> he's been a joy. he's been an absolute joy all his life. he's been a blessing to us in every way. >> he grew up to be just a good man. >> announcer: the sanders were enjoying having their son back in town. but then, in november of 2012, terry began to suffer from extreme fatigue. >> i started noticing my heart was pounding and i would walk 100 feet and have to stop and literally put my hands on my knees and, you know, sit there and breathe. and i realized something had gone wrong. so i was in trouble somewhere. >> he had told me, "mom, i feel like i'm having a hard time breathing." i said, "this is not right. you need to go to the doctor." >> announcer: after numerous medical tests and doctors appointments, finally, in october of 2013,

a chest scan revealed a mass growing between terry's heart and lungs. his local doctor scheduled a biopsy. a couple of days later, he got the results. >> it's my dad's birthday and i got a call from the hospital and it said, "hey, terry. just want to let you know we got your results back in. you do have diffuse large b-cell lymphoma." first thought that come to my mind was, you know, how is my family gonna deal with this? >> it was a shock. i tell everybody, it's like a sledgehammer hitting you in the stomach. >> you know, you're trying to assure your child that it's gonna be okay. but you don't know, yourself. >> announcer: terry was facing a devastating lymphoma diagnosis and turned to his parents for help. the sanders immediately began researching cancer treatment options. >> and i said, "lord just lead us. show me where we need to go. and i started searching and cancer treatment center just

kept popping up. and i said, "this is where we need to take him." >> announcer: after a year of traveling around to different doctors, the sanders decided that having all treatment under one roof was exactly what they were looking for. cancer treatment centers of america in tulsa arranged for terry and his parents to be there within a week. >> when i got there, i was shocked because on my appointment time everybody was in the same room waiting on me. that was a turning point. you're part of the team. you may be the patient, but you're just as integral as the next person standing there next to them. >> announcer: terry met with his team of doctors, including his oncologist dr. ritwick panicker. >> terry sanders is a young man in his 30s who was diagnosed with primary mediastinal b-cell lymphoma. it's a disease in which the lymph nodes in front of our heart enlarge and become malignant. fortunately for terry, we do

have a lot of weapons against this type of cancer. >> announcer: terry's plan included chemotherapy and radiation. however, if he doesn't respond to these conventional treatments, dr. panicker says that terry could be a candidate for a stem-cell transplant. >> we collect the patient's stem cells. then we give the patient high doses of chemotherapy, which eradicates the blood malignancy and all the existing stem cells. after this therapy, the stem cells from the patient that were previously collected are infused back. the idea is that the normal or good cells will return, whereas the malignancy will not return. >> you ready? >> come on with it. >> when i get off work, i get my treatment. and by monday i was back at work and i was feeling good about things again. >> love you. >> announcer: terry has been going through chemotherapy

treatments every couple of weeks for three months. >> last chemo. >> last chemo. >> announcer: now he's back at cancer treatment centers of america and sits down with dr. payne, his radiation oncologist to view the results of his latest scans. >> okay, so, this tells the whole story. this is november and this is a couple weeks ago -- january 31st. >> that's a good sign. >> so, it's gone. he's done well. looking at his pet scan, the one that he had before therapy showed a large tumor right in the middle of his chest. the one he had after the four or five cycles of chemotherapy, that was gone. things have to be a certain size to show up on the pet scan, so there still may be some active cells there. so, radiation is mainly used as a type of insurance to make sure we are able to kill cells that we don't see. >> announcer: terry will continue his treatment plan, but for now his scans are clear. >> it's great. it's great news. i don't really know how to put it in words. >> announcer: back at home

the sanders are enjoying the outdoors, going to church, and just spending time with family and friends. >> i am going to get better. i'm gonna grow my hair back out. [ laughs ] my family and i are gonna try to take as many trips as possible. i'm gonna go see some friends that i haven't seen since college. i learned that you take every single day and you live the best way you possibly can. >> announcer: the fight against cancer, no matter how strong you are, isn't one you can take on alone. >> a long time ago, i was the strongest woman in the world. i set over 60 world and american records. i feel that i've done everything that i could to be as healthy as possible. and something still went wrong. i had cancer. it was a tough blow. i just went right into action mode, and once i understood what

cancer treatment centers of america was all about, i knew it was the right fit for me. >> announcer: at cancer treatment centers of america, we develop an integrated treatment plan that's right for you. a dedicated team of oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists deliver advanced cancer treatment, including tomotherapy, cyberknife, and intraoperative radiation therapy. >> at cancer treatment centers of america, we're using intraoperative radiation therapy, or iort, which is radiation treatments which are administered in the operating room at the time of the lumpectomy. we're able to administer this treatment in a matter of two to three minutes as opposed to weeks of conventional, daily external beam radiation. >> announcer: we not only have state-of-the-art technologies but also offer integrative treatment options to help relieve symptoms related to treatment. acupuncture helps reduce anxiety and stress, naturopathic medicine helps decrease side effects, spiritual support helps promote a positive outlook nutrition helps boost the immune system, and mind/body therapy

get an hour's results in just 25 minutes. >> announcer: how does he do it? a proven technique called focus interval training. you focus on one muscle at a time and then move on to the next without any rest. you literally work every muscle in your body in 25 minutes. there's not a moment wasted. >> that's why it's a perfect workout. you get in, you get it done, you sweat like crazy. you get amazing results. >> announcer: if you haven't worked out in years, it doesn't matter. t25 has a low-impact modifier for every move. and even if you modify, you'll still get the same results. >> i am proof that, with t25 even modify, you can get the results you want. >> announcer: shaun wants you to nail your workouts. >> nail this workout! nail it! come on! >> announcer: so he's including everything you need -- the workouts, nutrition plan, even these resistance bands. all you have to do is find 25 minutes. coming up, you'll meet jose, who lost 100 pounds with t25. meet some moms who lost the baby weight at home during naptime.

and find out why t25 is so much better than going to the gym. >> never again will i go to the gym and spend hours in there when i can get it done at home for 25 minutes and be done. >> announcer: we bet, by the end of this program, your living room will be your new gym, too. so don't change that channel. >> hi. remember me? my name's joe, and i'm an editor for beachbody. last year, i worked on the t25 infomercial, and when i saw the results people achieved working out just 25 minutes a day, i had to give it a shot. well, i lost 30 pounds with t25. and guess what. it's been over a year, and i've kept the weight off. hey, when your workout takes 25 minutes, it's hard to say "i don't have time." and in the past year, over a million people have tried t25. a million people. so i've been editing away, reviewing thousands of stories and "before" and "after" photos. the transformations are incredible. the people literally don't look like the same person in their "after" photos.

check out aliyah. you might want to sit down for this one. >> i'm here because i want to get healthier. i work in new york city. i live in central new jersey. my commute is almost two hours a day. i'm a healthcare administrator so my work day tends to be 9 to 10 hours, so 25 minutes and really being able to see the results would be awesome. [ sighs ] what do i want to change about my body? well, definitely these little handles here. i want to tighten up here on my belly. i want to slim these hips and lose some of what i have back here. yes! i'm excited. i can't wait to see me in 10 weeks, too. i wish i had a fast-forward button. [ laughs ] >> well, i have a fast-forward button. check her out 10 weeks later. and, yes, it's the same person. >> t25 has transformed my body completely, 100%. i lost 38 pounds and 33 1/2 inches. that is in-sane! i mean, i just can't even believe it. i don't even look like the same person.

my waist has gone down. like, it has just completely shrunk. that was what i wanted to change. that's gone. i wanted to slim my hips. they're slim. i wanted to reduce the derriere. reduced. like, everything that i wanted to change has changed. like, oh, my god! it's just insane that i can look like this and not after months and months and hours and hours in the gym, but 25 minutes working out hard, giving it all i can. everybody has 25 minutes. i am 44 years old and i look like this, okay? i'm never gonna spend two hours in the gym again, ever, ever ever. 25 minutes -- that's it. >> t25 is perfect. it's just the right amount of time, it's just the right intensity, and the results are incredible. you don't need a gym. you don't need to work out for an hour a day, either. 25 minutes is all you need. >> what i like most about focus t25 was it was only 25 minutes. i was really able to get in and out and get on with my day.

everyone's busy, busy, busy with work and kids and school, so 25 minutes is perfect for practically anyone. before focus t25, i had a 36-inch waist and a beer belly. now i have abs for the first time in my life. >> after 25 minutes is done, you're dripping in sweat, and you get the same amount of intensity that you would an hour-long workout. i went from a size 12 to a size 6. you know, my arms are different. my stomach is different. the muffin top is not there. this gave me exactly what i wanted everywhere. >> everybody's got 25 minutes. if you sit long enough to watch the infomercial, you had 25 minutes. it's fast, it's simple, it works. i've got my six-pack. i've got my defined arms. and, i mean, come on. this is from t25. this is from 25 minutes a day. this is from 10 weeks. >> time! t25! >> it's not easy to create a

workout that delivers results like these. shaun uses focus interval training to compress an hour-long workout into 25 minutes. you work one muscle group at a time. when that muscle gets tired, you move on to the next. abs, then the thighs, biceps hips, triceps, glutes. but there's no rest and no water breaks. every second counts. >> that's how you get maximum results in minimum time. >> where does this guy come up with this stuff? how does he create this insane 25-minute workout that does this in just 25 minutes? i'm 31 years old, and i've lost 43 1/2 pounds doing t25 in 10 weeks. it's not easy. it's made to make you push, and it's made to make you push yourself as hard as you can, and i know i did. >> come on! this is your focus! you want to step into this 25 minutes? you can do it. all you need to do is have the focus. >> just under a minute and a half left. pushing as hard as i can.

the best part about this workout is when shaun t. calls "time." >> time! t25! >> being a new dad, it's hard to find time to exercise. but t25 is perfect for me. i get up, nail my workout first thing in my morning while my son's still sleeping. then, when i get home, my workout is done and i have time to spend with my family. but i know no one is busier than new moms. the gym is out of the question. well, t25 helped these moms get their bodies back right at home. >> i have a baby. i can't go to the gym and work out for over an hour. so 25 minutes seemed ideal during naptime. why not? i lost 29 pounds with my first 10 weeks of t25. so i definitely love the results that i got. actually, i have never had abs like this before. prior to having a baby, they did not look this good, so i never thought i would have abs ever again after having a baby. and they actually look better than before i had him. 25 minutes a day can give you

this. >> taia had a baby. >> yes. >> y'all know taia. and now look at her. >> i'm in way better shape now than i ever have been in my life, and i'm 34 years old. i've had two kids. i've had two c-sections, and people think that it's impossible to lose weight after you have kids, but it's not impossible. i feel like the best version of me that i could possibly be is this right now. >> i'm stressing 25 minutes a day, 'cause if you get this done, the things that will happen to your body and your life can be absolutely unbelievable, and it's all done by you. >> it's brilliant. it's only 25 minutes a day. it's doable. anybody can do it. literally, anybody. you could be really in shape you could be out of shape and still be able to do it. oh, yeah, best shape ever. and people ask me -- they're like, "you're a mom?" yeah, that's what i wanted to hear. i wanted to have that question. "you're a mom? you had a baby?" never again will i go to the gym

and spend hours in there when i can get it done at home while my baby's napping for 25 minutes and be done. >> time! t25, baby! >> less than 10 minutes. >> only 3 minutes left. >> 1 minute. >> 10 more seconds! >> time. time. time. >> announcer: now everyone has time to work out. it's time for focus t25. 25 minutes, five days a week and the space between your sofa and tv. shaun uses focus interval training to compress over an hour-long workout into 25 minutes. you work one muscle at a time. when that muscle gets tired, you move on to the next. abs, then thighs, biceps, hips triceps, glutes. but there's no rest and no water break. every second counts. >> before t25, i weighed 215 pounds. after t25, i weighed 185 pounds. >> announcer: you start with the alpha cycle, five 25-minute

modify, and when you get stronger, you come right back up and go through it. >> even with the modified movements, it was definitely difficult. i definitely was sore everywhere, and i definitely had my heart pumping, and i was sweating a lot, so that's why it's a perfect workout. you get in, you get it done, you sweat like crazy. you get amazing results. i always say, if you look good at the end of your workout you're not doing it right. i'm sweating buckets here. in 10 weeks, just 25 minutes a day, i lost 28 pounds. i lost 4 inches off my waist. my stomach has gotten, like, really, really small. it's really fit, it's really tight. if it was an hour-long workout no way would i wake up an hour earlier to work out. but 25 minutes, i can wake up 25 minutes earlier. it's just, like, three less snoozes on my alarm clock. >> people ask me all the time, "are the results in your infomercials real? are the pictures photoshopped?" well, the results are 100% real, and the photos are not photoshopped. in fact, they're certified unretouched photos by an independent photography expert.

this next guy is jose, and he lost 100 pounds after three rounds of t25. when you get real results, you don't need photoshop. >> i got to a point where i was almost 300 pounds, and i just didn't feel right anymore, so i wanted to do something about that. you know, the guy in the "before" picture -- he was 100 pounds heavier, and i did that to myself, and now, you know, i did this to myself, and it only 25 minutes a day. at the end of 10 weeks, i was down 64 pounds. i couldn't believe the "before" and "after" picture that i posted, and it just made me want to, you know, continue to further these workouts and see if i can, you know, do a little bit better the next time around and the next time around. three cycles through 100 pounds. i never thought i'd lose 100 pounds. >> we're not here just playing around. we want you to get the best results possible. >> you really don't even need that much space. i mean, if you can do a burpee you have enough room to work out. i mean, i'm in better shape now than i was in junior high school when i was 14. i'm 33 now, so that was almost 20 years it took to get this body. i knew it was under there. look, mom, i have abs! my arms are kind of big. i got biceps.

kind of got these. that's not too shabby for never having those before. stretch marks -- see, they're there. i used to be big. you never really see those. you don't have to photoshop those. they're there, my tiger stripes. it's hard not to be just astounded by the results that i've seen. >> announcer: now is your last chance to order t25. all you need is 25 minutes, five days a week, and the space between your sofa and tv. shaun uses focus interval training to compress over an hour-long workout into 25 minutes. you work one muscle at a time. when that muscle gets tired, you move on to the next. abs, then thighs, biceps, hips triceps, glutes. but there's no rest and no water break. every second counts. you start with the alpha cycle five 25-minute workouts to build your foundation and get you fit fast. alpha cardio, ab intervals
