Best beach body workout for beginners

I did P90X3 and loved it. I was completely out of shape when I started. The workouts are only 30 minutes or so, but you do have to work out 6 days per week. I lost 30 lbs over the 90 day program. You do have to watch what you eat to lose weight though. At the beginning, I couldn't do 1 push up on my toes. By the end, I was doing 180, and I was able to do plyo push ups. You just have to keep pushing yourself to do the full moves, even if it's just 1 or 2 to start. Keep increasing from there.

I am doing P90X3 as well:).

I have done T25, 21 day Fix and Chalean Extreme. Love all of them for different reasons. What are your goals? Are you mainly looking for cardio, strength training or a combo of both?

10 minute trainer was a good start bc the workouts are so short, eases you in. After a couple weeks of that I went to T25 alpha which was also a shorter workout. I moved onto PiYo from there. Depends what type of workout you enjoy. I love PiYo, but t25 was a struggle.

If you've not been working out or not in shape I'd recommend 10 minute trainer, you build up tolerance so quick you'll probably be ready to do something more in a couple weeks.

I have a friend who is obsessed with country heat, if you're into country music and enjoy dancing.

I'm dong Core de Force right now and it's amazing. Modifications are provided. It's mixed martial arts.

I like Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs:)

I'd shoot for Insanity. It's an excellent workout for beginners or advanced. If it feels to difficult or too easy, just adjust your intensity to accommodate your fitness level.

I love insanity, and would highly recommend it (or insanity max30) but not for a beginner.

Max 30 has modifiers for every move, so it can absolutely be done by a beginner. The important take home from Insanity workouts is YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO AS FAST AS THE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO. Do your best, rest when you need to, and keep trying to get better. Work safely and keep it under control and you will be fine as a beginner.

Again, without goals though I don't know if this is the right thing for you.

Looking for cardiovascular and toning

Insanity will definitely give you a cardio workout. "toning" is really about losing fat and gaining muscle. It's difficult but not impossible to do both at the same time.

If you're restricting yourself to beachbody workouts one day of the the p90x programs might be you best bet. You'll get strength as well as some conditioning.

I'm assuming your nutrition is locked in? If not it is won't matter what workout you choose!

Almost all of them have modifications for beginners. If you are into strength training Chalean Extreme is good. For cardio T25 is good. If you like a mix maybe try 21 Day Fix? The new Core de Force is fun too!

I'm doing P90X3 too! I started it today.

Insanity is great - but super high intensity. I'd recommend 21 Day Fix or PiYo as a great first program!

I am also doing Body Beast!

Did a round of P90x3 last year and I loved it.

Now wondering what I'll do after this round of Body Beast....

P90X is good, but the workouts were long (45-60 mins). P90X3 incorporates the same concept, but in 30-minute sessions. I enjoyed both and am now doing Body Beast (weight lifting) with some P90X3 mixed in for variety.

Ooooh nice!! Are you loving it????

I love P90X3. Such an amazing program and I am definitely seeing results.

Not BeachBody, but RushFit was/is a very good program, IMO.
