Beach Body Programs

Im about to start P90x3 as soon as it arrives. Im looking to trim down and jmprove my performance.

Feel free to add me

I did 3 rounds of Insanity. Then tried out T25, Combat, and Asylum before moving onto Body Beast. I'm on round 4 of Beast now and love it. Going to start a Max:30/Beast hybrid next month to get ready for beach weather.

Some of the beachbody programs are great, depending on what you are looking for and your level of fitness.

Insanity, Asylum, Max 30 are more of a higher level, sort of intermediate to advanced levels. Its tough and you get great results from them. I did Insanity and am on week 7 of Insanity Max 30, so i am nearly done with that. I do admit sometimes its hard to stay motivated, so when I feel myself deviate, I supplement another workout in, on week 7, I started to, not that I did that the first 6 weeks when I followed the program to a T.

Piyo is a great yoga-pilates hybrid, havent tried that yet, but I would think its a bit lower impact than those listed above.

Focus T25 is a great beginner/intermediate program and when you reach the gamma its more intermediate to a lower advanced style of training.

P90x is a great program as well for all levels, its built on a solid foundation of taking from all disciplines. the new x3 is about the same workout I hear but only on 30 minutes when you dont have the full hour to alot in the day to give it.

Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam are great. Turbo Jam is a little easier and fun in terms of dancy kickboxing. While Turbo Fire is the same thing with a higher intensity.

Hip Hop Abs and Rockin Body are dance cardio and they are alot of fun.

Then you have Yoga Booty Ballet, which I dont really like, but people like the concept behind it and still have the dvds for it.

And Les Mills Pump/Combat are branded partnership of Pump barbell style workouts and Combat is a mma/kickbox/muay thai/ boxing workout that is a great cardio workout that makes you feel like you are training with the pros.

Wish I could explain better, but make sure to watch YT videos and read google blog postings about the different workouts.

I have done: Insanity, Insanity Max 30, P90x (some of the workouts), Turbo Fire, I own PiYo but didnt do it yet, Les Mills Combat, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, and some of the other ones like Brazil Butt Lift I have but haven't done a full rotation yet.

I've done Insanity and loved it. It's challenging but it's a great program.

I'm currently doing Les Mills Combat & I love it - it's so much fun. I'm only about 3 weeks in and haven't lost a lot of weight, but I can already see an improvement in my overall fitness.

P90x is a great program. I completed one round and working on round 2. I have only done the original program, not 2 or 3. But you can cater the workouts to your needs / abilities. You can modify, there is a variety of workout schedules depending on your goals.

I've been doing Brazil Butt Lift and LOVE it. Despite the somewhat silly name, it's a great workout. And my husband says he likes the results.

I'm getting ready to start Piyo here in the next few days. Not sure what to expect, guess I will find out soon enough!

i love P90X3 it is great and only 30 min exercises. I lost 7 lbs in first 30 days of it while following the nutrition plan too.

I've tried Slim in 6, Hip Hop Abs, Focus T25 and PiYo. They're all great. If I *had* to pick one, I'd probably go with Hip Hop Abs because it's just so much fun. Shaun T makes me laugh in that one more than in T25. T25 is just 25 minutes so that makes it easy to stick to. PiYo is low-impact, but high intensity which made it a whole new kind of challenging for me.

I've done three rounds of Insanity and one of T25 (all three stages). I really like Insanity and T25 Gamma, right now I alternate between the two each day. They really helped my endurance and appearance, but I think they lack a little on the strength training side.

Next up is a hybrid Insanity\Body Beast. Hopefully that will help with strength, especially upper body which has always been my weak area.
