Does T25 core require any floor exercises?

No floor Exercises. All the exercises are mixed in the other t25 cd's no new moves. I didn't feel any soreness in my core as I did with the Alpha core cd. It does give you a good cardio. If you are looking for new moves or more intense ab workout, this is not going to be the cd.

Down on floor for a push up then jump back up. But you do not stay in the floor for a routine

I suppose but am not sure how that would work the core. I'm assuming you'd be sitting. I don't think you'd get much of a workout with it that way. Just my opinion.

Not that I know of...It's a floor model. Relatively large. Not something I would move around a lot.

There is an accompanying brochure with various positions, and they claim to work on core, but I use only those that I like and it involves only arms - triceps and biceps.For me the core exercises with flexibar are not that effective, as, say, Pilates.

I use it lying down on the floor. Exercise is primarily legs, but I experience stretching/movement in my back as well.

I use the machine and I'm 6'5, 250 lbs. When doing some exercises I need to lift my feet in the air because There is no where on the glideboard to put them when I'm laying down. But that makes it a better workout because I'm using my abdominals. As far as weight is concerned, I do some explosive excercises on the machine and it doesn't move or slide on the floor and the machine is pretty sturdy. I use the weight bar to add extra weight making the machine carry the maximum load of 350 lbs. The machine is solid. I definitley recommend it. I use it in combination with free weights. I love it.

I have mine on a laminate wood floor and it doesn't move when I work out on it.

No, no weights, no resistance bands, or any additional equipment required. Just some loose fitting athletic clothes and shoes. I have hardwood floors so I bought a mat to workout on, but nothing is required.

There are pushups in chalean extreme workouts, but not in every workout. There are modifiers if you can't do them on your toes.

Not at all. All your body! Maybe a yoga mat so you don't slip around when on the floor.

Hi, yes you can do this as it is not structurally mandatory. Thank you! South Shore team

My understanding is that you can, however we just went with the floor model to start. I would check with them.

Not for a beginner if you do not go at your own pace. It is hard on your knees but using a larger workout pad helps. I am 60 years old, was not very active for two years with my shoulder (operated on twice in 2012), so I was way out of shape at the start of T25. I just went at my own pace at first and did not try to keep up with the people in the workouts. I am kicking butt now, for me. My shoulder is coming around. The main thing is to know your own body and not over do it. I love being done in 25 minutes!

If you don't need to pull it out frequently and the height is OK, there is no reason to use the wheels. You might want to use casters to keep your floor from being scratched.

What is good about T25 is it has modification moves which are a little easier but still challenging. You might consider doing a couple of weeks of modified moves as you get back into it.

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

The intensity of the 10 minute workout is not as great at T25. You can still get a pretty good workout if you push yourself and take less brakes
