Who is Shaun T?
While we are at it, many of you may not exactly know who Shaun T is and why he is a great guy to follow. He is mostly known for his Top Training programs released at Beach Body like Focus T25, Insanity, Insanity Max 30, and most recently Cize.
We've gathered a bit more history about him that you will find helpful, straight from the Beach Body website.
It's a short, but interesting lead to give you a good idea of who is behind the scenes of T25. Actually we should say right in front of the scenes.
Shaun T's Background and History with Beach Body:
“Born Shaun Thompson,
Shaun T first made a name for himself as a track-and-field star at Rowan
University, where he received a BS in Sports Science with a minor in Theater
and Dance.
Since then he's put both degrees to epic use— dancing backup with Mariah Carey,
appearing on HBO's Six Feet Under, The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno, CNN, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning
America, and The Doctors—and working with
Nike, Boost Athletic Shoes, RadioShack, and the LA Lakers.
In 2007, Shaun T created the phenomenally successful dance-based workout, Hip
Hop Abs®. A year later, he followed that with another big
hit—Rockin' Body®.
In 2009, Shaun T and Beachbody blew up the fitness world with the launch of
INSANITY®, a 60-day total-body conditioning workout that's insanely
hard—but gets incredible results.
Over the next few years, the INSANITY workout series continued to grow with the
launch of INSANITY: THE ASYLUM®, the sports-specific training
program based on drills used by pro athletes.
Then in 2013, Shaun T again revolutionized the fitness industry by creating
FOCUS T25®, a jam-packed workout program that makes every minute
count, so you can get an hour's worth of results in just 25 minutes.
In 2014, with INSANITY MAX:30, Shaun T lays down a new challenge—to push
yourself to a new personal best every time you work out. It's the craziest 30
minutes of your day, but he gives you all the tools you need to get the best
results of your life.
Shaun T has returned to his personal love of dancing. In 2015, he created CIZE®.
The four-week program is so much fun that while you learn to dance, you won't
even realize you are getting a great cardio workout. CIZE truly is "The
end of exercize."
