    Beachbody gal here, too!

    I started with Power 90. I'm now on Round 2 of P90X and can't wait to get Insanity!

    I tried Turbo Jam out.. it was fun!

    Beachbody ROCKS!

    Started w/p90x, moved on to a round of Insanity, now doing a hybrid of p90x/insanity/One on One/p90x+!!
    Chalene is up for me next starting in mid-April.
    And.....I ordered Brazil Butt Lift today!

    I don't really have weight to lose, but could always stand to firm up more. Mostly I enjoy the challenge of a new rotation/program & I like someone else telling me what workout to do each day! Not to mention BB turned my eating/nutrition around.

    I am just starting out. I am doing the chalene extreme. This was day 3 for me. I am very sore but its a good thing. Would like to lose about 15 lbs and get tone so hopefully it will do the trick!

    Beachbody girl here! Love P90X - I did a modified version the first time around due to me training for a marathon but this time I'm full on. I'm 3 1/2 weeks away from being done with Round 1. I've lost about 5 pounds and 2% body fat.

    I'm moving onto ChaLean Extreme next.

    I too became a coach. My day job is being an accountant but health and fitness is my life. I became a coach b/c I love to tell people about exercise, nutrition, and health. This was a perfect opportunity for me to do that.

    Here too!!

    P90X... countless times, P90X+, Insanity, ChaLean Extreme, One on Ones ... I've also used Turbo Jam, done a little of Slim in 6, Slim Series, Hip Hop Abs, and other programs but P90X and Insanity are by far my favorites!!!

    I've been a coach for 2+ years now... love it! :bigsmile:

    I am close to 60 days down of Power 90, and have been considering between Power 90 Master Series for another 30 days, or changing to Slim in 6 or P90X after this rotation. I love it so far, mostly because you aren't sitting around doing 1 exercise forever, it changes up and quickly.

    What is your favorite program.. how long have you been doing it and what is your goal....
    BB coach here too (since spring 2008).

    I've completed Slim in 6, Power 90, and P90X. I've tried Turbo Jam, Yoga Booty Ballet, Total Body Solution, Shakeology: The Workouts, Tony and the Kids, Tony and the Folks, and Ho Ala ke Kino.

    My favorite is Slim in 6, but P90 and P90X tie for a close second place. I'm doing a hybrid of SI6 and P90 right now. My goal is to be as healthy as I can be, which includes getting these pesky last 5 or 10 pounds off and keeping them off.

    Hello new friend. I have met people that only used Turb Jam (TJ) and got great results.. There is nothing wrong with using it by itslef. there is a lot of variation to it as well. But you can always change it up a couple times a week and throw in something else. The key is to keep it interesting for YOU so that you want to keep doing the program. I use it with p90x sometimes.. wont lie... i love TJ better. I love to dance and i just throw on some music and get to it. But there are days when I want to change it up so i throw on Tony and do strength training. Chalean Exteme is a good wookout too. So it has more strength training than TJ..
    I know i went off on a rage here. sorry. just love it so much...

    I am also a big beach body fan. I lost a significant amount of weight a while ago with SI6, have done power half hour, turbo jam (had to stop due to a permanent foot/ankle injury, but I loved it). right now am getting back into a regular exercise routine during a time of heavy work obligations - in addition to power walking am doing Ho Ala ke Kino in AM a lot, various hip hop abs workouts, various combos of 10-minute trainer routines or power half hour.

    Have to admit to being a little jealous of those of you who are able to do Insanity or Power 90x - would love to but can't - have PTTD and can't get Kaiser to OK the surgery necessary to rebuild the tendons - reviewed various routines with my physical therapist and there are certain activities (including anything that puts a lot of weight on one foot or demands a lot of ankle twisting) that I'm not allowed to do. But I am learning which routines I can adjust.

    I got the Slim in 6 series a while back and got some great results. Lost some inches more than weight. Of course the holidays came and i found those darn inches!! I am planning on getting P90X to mix things up. Love the beach body programs and I have a wonderful coach too!!:smile:

    Hi I am on my second week of ChaLEAN Extreme. So far I love it! It is hard but doable. One question: Weights or bands? I need to get heavier weights already. I have 3s, 5s, 8s and 10s. What do you guys do?

    Right now I am working at between 7 - 12 pounds, depending on the exercise. When I am at my peak, I use 17 lb. I use the bands, but only when I travel - the workout can be just as strenuous, but I enjoy the feel of having the weights in my hands...

    I JUST STARTED P90X LEAN YESTERDAY... Wow!! Looking forward to getting better over time.
    How quickly did you see results while doing this program? Did you notice a difference in your strength and endurance within the first week?

    I saw results after the first 4 weeks. When I started I only had about 5 pounds to lose to I didn't see a huge weight loss like some do but I lost inches and that's what matter to me. If I remember correctly I lost over 4 inches in the first 4 weeks. I have 2.5 weeks left so I'll be posting after pictures shortly.

    I couldn't even attempt to do one pull up or chin up when I started. Now I can! There were push ups that I couldn't even come close to doing them on my toes the whole time and now I'll do the whole set. I think you'll see some great resutls. Keep us psoted!

    I am a Beachbody addict!!!!

    I originally started off with Turbo Jam in 2005, then went to Hip Hop Abs in 2007, Rockin Body in 2008, Chalene Extreme in 2008, Brazil Butt Lift in 2009......

    I just had baby #4 in 10 years (C-Section #3 in 5 years) and my little one is 6 months old! I own all TJ (except On The Ball), all the HHa (including HHA 2 and Dance Party Series), Rockin Body Deluxe, CE Deluxe and BBL Deluxe!!!!!!!!!

    I am impatiently waiting for Turbo Fire, and crossing my fingers that Shaun T will come back and do the HHA's he promised us!!!

    So many great beachbody fans.. and we seem to love all the trainers. I to love Chalene and cant wait to start ChaLean Extreme.. I wil be in her instructor class in may to become a turbo kick instructor.. YYYYYAAA!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    I have loved being a coach and would love to share all the details of how anyone can become a coach. Dont think that you can't becasue you aren't fit yet.. heres what i have found out..

    1. If you are trying to lose weight... what a better accountabilty partner than others watching you and your progress.. keeps you going.

    2. discounts on all your helpful programs
    3. great team motivattional team.
    4. You would be surprised how other woman like to talk and see other woman there size and at their skill level succeeding.. It allows them to have a connection.. so dont think you have to be fit already.

    I started just to get the discounts and it just took off.

    Cant wait for turbo fire and it will be out this summer.. ya... wwwoooooo hhhooooooo

    Question for all of you who are coaches!

    As I mentioned in my earlier post in this thread, I have PTTD, which means that I have lost - literally broken the tendons on the inside of my right foot. It's serious because this means that the tendons on the outside must carry all of my weight and if I don't watch my foot carefully, I could destroy those tendons as well.

    I love beach body workouts - right now am doing Sean T's Rockin' Body & mixing that with some Jillian Michaels' workouts, both of which I am able to adapt.

    I had to stop doing Turbo Jam because the Capoiera (sp?) moves, which demand that the ankle turn a lot. put too much stress on my foot (I worked with a physical therapist to figure out what I can and can't do).

    I will be ready to buy a new video in the next couple months, but don't want to spend money on a workout that I can't do.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Shivaun

    Hi Shivaun,

    I'm a Beachbody coach, but I'm certainly not a doctor, so I can't tell you for sure what workouts would be safe for you to do. From what you've described, it sounds like Slim in 6 might work for you.

    Beachbody does have a 30-day money-back guarantee on all its products, so you don't have to worry about spending money on a program you can't do. I've copied and pasted this directly from their Customer Service FAQ page:

    "What is the Team Beachbody Money-Back Guarantee?

    All Beachbody products sold through Team Beachbody come with at least a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your order may have a longer guarantee if you ordered during a special promotion. The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery. You may return opened and partially used items."

    You can sign up for free and check out the Beachbody store to see what programs sound good to you by going here:

    Let me know if you do try a new program and how it works for you. Good luck!

    So sad too say I have alot of the Beach Body Programs but don't use them that much..
    We are doing the insanity workout now and it is killer... We are using the P90X Ab tape with it..

    I also have Hip Hop Abs, P90X of course, Yogga Booty Ballet, Turbo Jam and just ordered the Chalene Extreme!

    I prefer working out with a trainer and the gym but these are great when I can get a group to do them!!

    Hi Jill, thanks for responding - I always forget about the 30-day money back guarantee. SI6 was actually my first BB program, years ago! It helped me to lose a lot of weight (I was slim until my 40's, then lost a lot of weight and kept it off for several years with BB, regained it with a string of events last year that made it difficult to exercise). SI6 was actually one of the suggestions I got from BB staff in the teambeachbody forums. Do you know anything about the Slim Series? Is there variety in music, etc? I understand the science behind SI6 but the lack of variety makes it something I don't think that I can do again and sustain...

    Shivaun

    P.S., (edited to add this) Also, I love, love, love working with weights...

    Funny you should ask about Slim Series. I just ordered it Friday and waiting eagerly for it to get here. I'll let you know what I think after I get to try it out. I love working with weights too. I've been using the Sculpt 3-4 from Power 90 for my strength training and Ramp It Up and Cardio Core Express for my cardio. I've been doing that for quite some time now and decided it was time to mix it up. I thought about doing another round of P90X, but my heart just isn't in it right now, so I decided to give Slim Series a whirl...

    I would love to know your opinion on the Slim Series also! I'm nearing the end of SI6 and am hoping to continue on with the Slim Series - if I can manage to get thru Burn it Up a few more times :) I hear there's lots more variety which is what I am most interested in.

    i have not done the series but have heard from my friends that they really like it. I am using ChaLEAN Extreme and have fallen in love with it. I def. feel the burn... it is a great workout. if you are thinking of switching and want to know more before you buy please let me know i would love to tell you more..

    Hi! I actually do have ChaLEAN Extreme also. I was hoping it was the answer for me, but I pushed too hard with the heavy weights and ended up re-injuring my shoulder and it was way too hard on my knees. My orthopedic doc said no squatting/lunging with weights anymore, but I am thankful that at least SI6 doesn't seem to aggravate anything. I do love Chalene though - Turbo Jam was my very first BB program.

    that totally stinks that you cant do CE.. but atleast you found si6... it is always good to have something to help.. scary not having anything.. keep up the good work and keep pushing play...

    I just posted in the other thread (Slim in 6) that my Slim Series package arrived yesterday. Wahoo! I'll started on it today. :happy:
