Lss3771

hi . I had some success on 21 day fix but it's sizzled out for me . I'm thinking of Jillian michaels body revolution or at least her online program . I also have beachbody new program Cize . Thoughts ?

I havent tried any of those but the only programs that kept mw intereted are T25 which is fun and varied. Turbofire agaon loads of fun and very varied, more choice and my fave because of enjoyment and results P90X3.
Cize looks good but having spent yrs doing zumba ill give it a miss.
Depends what you are looking for but p90x3 gave me more results in both measurements, weight and visual look. Also help me with technique.

My favorite by far is Cize. I don't even feel like I am working out. With that said, I use it for cardio, as it doesn't focus on strength as much. Shaun T is a lot of fun and the songs are current. Plus it makes me feel like i can actually dance

Love my beach body. Following on day 6 and love it.

Is p90x for older people who are intermediate ? I'm 44 . Afraid I'm going to hurt myself

I like Cize too

Lss3771

But don't you need the strength training too to really see results ? Cize is all cardio and I'm thinking of selling it to a friend

Mr_Knight

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Weight loss

Mr_Knight

And what part, specifically, do you want exercise to play in that?

Lss3771

To help me get results ( weight loss ) . I know it has more to do with cutting calories , but some programs can accelerate it . There are so many out there ! Just wondering what has worked for people when on a 1200 calorie diet

Mr_Knight

"help get results" doesn't mean anything.

Are you trying to burn as many exercise calories as possible? Are you trying to suppress appetite? Retain lean mass? What is the #1 thing you want out of an exercise program? Why did you "fizzle" on your last attempt?

Etc etc etc

These all affect weight loss in different ways - you need to figure out what you're really trying to do, first.

Exactly. Read these boards for awhile and it will help you to decide how and what type of workout and exercise you want. I'm a jogger but wanted a more balanced approach with more strength moves in the arms and core so I'm doing the T25 series now. I record my calories so I can eat them back, so it isn't to help me lose weight. I am hungrier when I work out and eat more.

I like Cize and I am adding it in 3-4 times a week to supplement running and lifting. Just trying for some extra calorie burn and it does make me feel like I have a few dance moves

Yes! Tony Horton is nearly 60. They are mainly resistance but few bits of cardio and they have modified versions.
He is a sensible trainer who points out u should do what u feel comfy with.
P90 bored me as they are hr workouts but P90X3 is amazing and there are workout calendars for a few different variations depending on ur goal ie build mass, tone etc.

Yes P90X can be done. There are modifiers if you feel you need them.
