I will not promote or sell things I don't believe in. I am a beachbody coach because I 100% believe in the company, in the products and the people.
As I have always been into fitness I have done or at least tried 90% of the Beachbody programs. Not only do I do this because I love fitness. I also do it to be educated. And, one of my favorite things about coaching is finding the right program for you.
It can be intimidating to try and pick one. There's always questions...
- How long are the videos?
- Will I be able to do it?
- What equipment will I need?
- Will I like the instructor?
I have also now included my opinion on the 3 day refresh. Many of the challenge packs we offer include whats called the "kick start" this means it comes with the 3 day refresh. This is not a fitness program. Its 3 day cleanse and many people love to do this before they start a new fitness program.
The 3 day refresh: This is NOT a workout program but can offer and amazing kickstart before you start one OR can be a great cleanse after some bad eating days. I often do this right after the holidays. This includes 3 shakes a day. A shakeology shake, a vanilla fresh shake and a fiber shake. You then eat veggies and fruits and a small amount of healthy fats. Whats nice is this program really cleanses you of toxins and rests your body without starving you to death! I have sone this 3 times and have lost between 4-6 each time. I have had customers who have lost 8-10 pounds too!!!
NEW!!!!!!!!! Core De Force:LAUNCHES 10/31/16. INSTRUCTED BY JOEL AND JERICHO AND THEY ARE GREAT! Ea ch workout is broken into 3-minute “rounds” — just like a real boxing match. In those 3 minutes you’ll alternate between addictive Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai-inspired combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes that kick your fat burn into overdrive. But all that punching and kicking doesn’t just burn calories. Each move, whether it’s a jab or a knee, is rotational, giving you a 360-degree core workout that will tighten up your entire midsection. All you have to do is hit it hard 3 minutes at a time and before you know it — you’re done! I cannot wait to start this program!
Country Heat! talk about FUN. This line dancing program is a blast and has GREAT music. Autumn Calabrese is your trainer and you may be surprised what kind of sweat you can get from line dancing! 30 min a day. This is a great program for beginners, people that are starting off slow after injury or just want to dance. What i love most is that she only does 2 moves then moves on so you dont need to memorize any crazy moves!
Beachbody on Demand: This is freaking awesome. Not know what workout to try. You can live stream over 400 workouts. t25, Fix extreme, Hammer and Chisel, P90, P90x, P90x3, Insanity, Turbofire, Chalene Extreme., so many more..and new ones launching all the time. Also, theres recipes, tips and ideas and so much more. You can get 3 months of on demand with shakeology and this way you can try them all.
22 min Hard Corps: WOWZA! Who would have thought you could have a great workout in 22 minutes?! I will admit that although I loved p90x and p90x3 I wanst sure how Tony would handle a military style workout. I mean his cheesy jokes just don't align with this style. But I'll say...HE ROCKS THIS! I love this program. I like that one day is cardio and the next is resistance. I like that the moves are not overly complicated and they repeat so you can focus on form. Its a tough 22 minutes but totally doable and PERFECT for those in a time crunch!
HAMMER AND CHISEL!!!: Holy cow people! I cant even tell you how much I love this program!!! I didnt think I would either. This program is unique as it combines 2 trainers. Sagi from body beast and Autumn from 21 day fix. This is a 60 day program and uses weights almost daily. This is NOT a beginner program. Workouts range from 25-45 minutes a day and rotate between the trainers. Its the best combo of cardio and lifting EVER and is sure to help lean you out. Whay I also love is that it doesnt repeat workouts as much as some other programs. You do need equipment for this though. Weights, a ball and band for sure and ideally you'll want a bench and pull up bar. But use what you have. LOVE THIS ONE!!
P90: This program is fairly NEW, and a prequel to the P90X programs by Tony Horton. This is a super place to start for ANYONE. There are 3 month’s worth of workouts (Levels A, B, and C: Sculpt, Cardio, and Ab Ripper for each level, plus Saturday Special that is the same for every level), each advancing in difficulty as you get in the groove of working out. You do need at least 1 resistance band that comes with the program. It’s better to have two resistance bands or the one band and some hand weights because otherwise you’ll have to keep detaching the one band from the door. This program works your entire body, but none of the moves are super quick or super tough on your joints. There is a modifier in each workout, and the Sculpt workouts even give you diagrams so you know you’re doing it right!

21 day fix: This program is 21 days long. Workouts are 30 minutes each. One day upper body, one day lower body, another cardio etc etc. This program is great for beginners but some workouts are tough. They have a modifier in all the videos so anyone can do this. You need weights or bands. The best part of this program is the meal plan and the portion control containers that come with this. Follow this plan and you cannot fail! The trainer is Amber Calbrese. Like her alot. Soft spoken but pushes you.
21 day fix extreme: LOVE LOVE LOVE and didn't think i would!!! So this program is perfect for after youve done 21 day fix. But honestly, even if you havent its AWESOME. its tough and i do sugest you do it after you have been doing some other fitness program. Similar to the 21 day fix but more intense. EAch day is something different. It goes quick and you will be sore but its only 21 day!!!
Slim in six: This program is one I suggest for those over 50. Its a bit slower. Its not high impact and the times range but still all under an hour. I have not personally done this program. I have seen it and have several people on the team that do it and love it! Hand weights or bands are required.
T25: LOVE LOVE LOVE. Not only do I love Shaun T the trainer but I love that these workouts are only 25 minutes. They are amazing. They are high impact but they do all have modified moves for beginners. Its intense though. You do need hand weights or bands in month 2.
INSANITY: Shaun T is awesome as always. This is similar to t25 but more intense, more impact and longer than t25. No equipment needed. this program is hard and can hurt your knees. I love it though but best for people that really love high intensity.
INSANITY MAX 30: LOVE!!!! Shaun T is INSANE. THIS PROGRAM IS TOUGH BUT AMAZING! Its tougher than t25. It will challeneg your mind as much as your body but YOU WILL get stronger. @ days a week is tabata. tahts 30-45 seconds on and then a 10-20 second break. the other days are cardio but you are also doing resistance training by using your body weight. Whats awesome is that this is only 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Yup- 2 full rest days! If you dont ahve time for the long insanity workouts this is perfect.
INSANITY ASYLUM: Shaun T is nuts in this!!! Program comes with a jump rope, bands and agility ladder. High impact. This is PERFECT for people that play sports. In fact my son does many of these exercises in Football. The strength workout may be one of my favorites. Workouts range from 30-60 minutes. I have only suggested this program to 2 people as I think this one is super tough.
P90x1:Tony Horton the instructor is Awesome. This program has a great variety but workouts are LONG. All are an hour except yoga...that's an hour and a half!!! My favorite workout day on this program was PLYO and sometimes still mix it in with other workouts.
P90x2: Tony Horton is still awesome but I just didn't like this program. Workouts were just as long but moves were complex. You need more equipment. I found myself frustrated with this program .
P90x3:LOVE LOVE LOVE. Tony Horton got it down!!!! these workouts are amazing and only 30 minutes. Great variety, each day is different! Need weights some days. You do not need p90x1 and 2 before this but this is not a beginner program. I often suggest this for after t25.
Les Mills Combat: This is a great program that's all mixed martial arts. Super fun. Great cardio. Instructors are great, music is great. Really works your whole body.
Brazilian Butt Lift: This program focuses on the booty but works the rest of the body some days too. I didn't love this program as Leondro the trainer wasn't a favorite of mine. This would be great to do mixed in with other programs though.
Turbo Fire: Chalean Johnson is awesome. This program is kickboxing and some dance like moves that works your whole body. I enjoyed it but sometimes got frustrated with keeping up with the moves. they are fast. But, after doing it a few times I really enjoyed it.
PIYO: Another great Chalean program. This is a blend of pilates and yoga but no holding poses! Its fast. What I loved the most was that it gave my joints a break. N
on impact. And, it leaned me out. Really elongated my muscles after all the pounding I was doing with the high impact program. No weights needed. I will say, you do alot of planks in this program so f you have wrist issues it may not be best for you.
Chalean Extreme: HOLY COW, I love this!!! This program I am dabbling in now. This program is proof that muscle burns fat! you do need weights and bands. the workouts vary in length and your whole body gets worked!
10 Minute Trainer: Don’t let the name fool you….YES…the
workouts are 10 minutes each, however, it’s recommended you do at least 2 of
them 6 days a week. They consist of Cardio, Core Cardio, Core, Total Body,
Lower Body, and Yoga. These workouts are completely do-able for beginners. There is nothing super fast or tough on your
joints. You do need at least a resistance band (that comes with the program),
although you might want to purchase one with a little less resistance to start.
CIZE!!!: This program is DANCE. Its shaun T who I love and he really breaks down all the moves so you can follow it. Its super fun. This program is ideal for those that do not like to workout but love to dance! I enjoyed this program but from a hard core tough exercise perspective I didnt love it and cannot see myself doing it as a fitness program since I prefer more intense workouts. This doesnt mean its not right for you. You can lose weight and inches from this fun program. But if you love an intense workout program that makes you build and lean out muscle you may want to try something else.
Body Beast: If you are looking to build lean muscle this program is for you! Yes ladies, it will work for you to but you must realize before you lean out you will build a bit and thats a GOOD THING. Muscle burns fat. I find the trainer Sagi a bit hard to understand but the program is great!
