    Alright ladies.....Build Shoulders done! WOW!!!! I'm really going to have to use the progress workout sheets to keep track of what weights I'm using. My shoulders feel good! And I still have to teach tonight! Yowsers!!!!

    Anyway, awesome workout! I always love working upper body! Tomorrow is legs!

    With Body Beast, what is considered 'heavy lifting' for women? I am doing my third round of P90X now and I still can't lift anything more than 20 pounds during the shoulders and arms routine lol! i wonder if BB would be too difficult for me. I lack upper body strength but can kick *kitten* doing leg workouts.

    Hey ladies! Ok, I have to toot my own horn here for a minute.

    I have been studying for my NASM Personal Trainer Cert and today was my final...................I PASSED!!!!! :bigsmile: :drinker:

    I have worked so hard for this and wanted it for so long! I'm soooo excited!

    Ok, thanks for letting me share.

    nickymarie: I think everyone is different when it comes to strength and what you can lift. I too was lifting 20lbs in P90X and all I can say is, after that shoulder workout from Body Beast, I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near that! LOL That's why I think it's important to keep those tracking sheets handy so you can see where and how you need to progress.

    I have recently learnt how to do chin ups and made a youtube video about it to try and help beginners.

    Welcome to the group! Body Beast is actually the name of the workout program. Maybe I should change the name? Anyway, you're more than welcome to stick around and join us strong women here anyway! Thanks for sharing your video, it's great!

    It looks like you need a lot of equipment to do this at home?

    What are the minimum items that you need to do it?

    You do need some free weights or adjustable. If you don't have a bench, you can use one of those inflatable balls, that's what I use sometimes.

    How does it compare to Chalean Extreme? I completed that, but I do like to switch workouts.

    I love Chalean Extreme!!! One of my very favorite workouts because of the lifting! Body Beast doesn't have as much cardio and the workouts themselves are not total body, like CE. So, there's a "leg" day, a "shoulder" day etc. However, there is a total body workout that you can swap out for other workouts. You still have the heavy lifting so if you have weights that you used for CE, you should be good to go for Body Beast.

    Hello ladies! Oh, I can't wait to start Body Beast already! I leave Thursday for Vegas and will actually be seeing Sagi in person! Can't wait! Talk about motivation!

    How are you all doing?

    I ordered Body Beast (used) on Amazon last night. I got good results from Chalean Extreme, but her inane chatter gets to me. Right now I'm reclaiming my fitness after a hiatus, with Hip Hop Abs Deluxe, so after I complete that at the end of July, I'll start the Beast. I like the fact that each body part has a proper recovery time with this program, and at least there is some cardio in the program. From there, I'll go on to Insanity.

    bulk arms this morning... man i always find this one tough, less calories burned, but arms on fire after the first sets.
    My legs from yesterday morning bulk legs are feeling it today. I tried to do some extra cardio last night when i got home, but my legs were not having it. Instead did Les mills abs

    4 inches loss since starting body beast may 20th. Had to take a week off to care for my hubby, on week 7 now
    Completed bulk legs today.. This one never gets easier.. So tough. Love the burn.

    Not much a difference in weight, still up and down the same 3 pounds, but feel so much tighter.

    Woo hoo! Nice work! I have legs today and I've actually done this workout once (key word) with my hubby when he was doing Body Beast and it is a BEAST! OMG! Keep up the good work girl!

    did you start an actual group here or are you just using this thread to keep each other accountable? I've completed the program but would love to hear some thoughts from other women on particular moves and weights used.

    Well, day 3 in the books! Build Back & Bi's! Wow! I was pumped!!! What an awesome workout! Tomorrow is shoulders and that's one I have done and it's killer!!!!!! I am just loving this program!

    Angie: I just started a thread where women could come and motivate/support each other who are doing the program or lifting in general. I guess I didn't realize I could create a group.

    Good morning and Happy 4th of July!!! Day 5 of Beast for me and I had the option of choosing Cardio or Total Body. Since I've done Cardio before, I know that it's a killer on the legs and my legs are still in shock from Monday's leg workout! So, I opted to go with Total Body and loved it! Literally every move from head to toe! And then Beast Abs which I've also done before and I really like his ab workout; it goes by quick but you feel everything! I'm now refueling with my yummy Shakeology!

    So, stay safe today everyone and keep on pushing play!

    Beast Up!!!
