Let's get connected and stay motivated. I love the beach body products since I do not have a gym. Share your results, tips, etc...

    I have done p90x, p90x3, Insanity, t25 and a little of insanity max 30. I love beach body stuff and I hate going to the gym.

    Lost 50 lbs doing insanity and gained tons of strength doing p90x and p90x3. I like p90x3 for days that are busy and don't have a lot of time, but p90x is longer and can just burn you dry and you can hardly lift your arms.

    I enjoy most workouts from Beach Body I don't like thier food and suppliment products though imo.

    I didn't think anyone else still loved doing these workouts. I just finished Insanity again on Saturday and started P90X Sunday. I found that doing them first thing in the morning kept me motivated as opposed to after work when I had no desire.

    I love Beachbody workouts. I started using them when I was a new mom and going to the gym was not an option, or out for a run became more difficult.

    I've completed Insanity, 21 Day Fix Extreme, P90x3, Asylum Vol. 1, PiYo, Hammer and Chisel, Insanity Max 30 and Body Beast.

    I'm heading out for a trip next week and plan on starting P90x upon my return. I had tried it twice before, like 8 years ago and couldn't get through it because I thought the cardio wasn't challenging enough and I got bored with the strength training. Now I love strength training and I plan to use some Insanity cardio to replace some of the easier stuff.

    I really look forward to doing it and I'm happy I found other people working on P90x!!

    I did a combo of Insanity and p90x and let me tell you it rocks your socks off. You can get a routine off the Beach Body website super gym.

    I've also completed a number of BB workouts. X, X+, Insanity, Turbo Fire, T25, Charlene Extreme, X3... Working out at home is a better fit for my busy lifestyle.
    Been a part of the BB community for 10+ years now & i'm staring another round of X Classic on Monday. Feel free to add me.

    I recently started T25, and I like it. However, I am thinking of doing P90X3 and T25 hybrid starting next week. Does anyone have any suggestions on this combo?

    Love BB workouts. Definitely the Insanity series are my absolute favorites. Unfortunately last summer I tore my ACL, so I've been on the recovery road ever since. However, today I restarted Insanity Max 30, doing the modifier and still getting a great burn.

    I intend on mixing it up with PiYo and Body Pump, but I'll see how exactly. Most probably it will be depending on mood and physical feeling at the moment, but on good days I might try doing combos. I'll see.

    What I do know is that while I enjoy PiYo and Body Pump, the challenge of Insanity is like no other.

    I've don't Insanity, p90x, and t25. The high impact plyometrics tore my meniscus. Be careful....they're great workouts though. Saw my best results with p90x.

    So far I'm in week 5 of P90x3. I wasn't really liking the Yoga too much, for I felt I need a more burn and the posing was a little challenging, But now, it's starting to grow on me.

    I feel the same way. Not a big fan of their shakeology. I tried the original Insanity for 15 minutes, and pressed stopped immediately.

    Me too. I love these workouts and most the people I've talked with, said, they heard of it but haven't tried it.

    Wow, way to go. I'm loving body beast, for it was my favorite, but P90x3 is where I get my cardio plus a little toning done. Although I haven't finished either yet, because I keep switching back and forth, I plan to completely finish P90x3 this new round. Week 5 for me.

    I'll send a request. I'm connecting with P90x members too. Loving this program. The first week I couldn't do 1 pull up. 3rd week, I can do 5 pull ups on my own with no assistance. It gets better every week.

    Almost done with R11, Wk 1 of P90X. Always have great results with this one & I'm interested to hear your thoughts/experience too. :)

    Don't forget Tony's words of wisdom: "On your most exhausting, overwhelming, lackluster days, stick the DVD in the player and see what happens. Be fully committed to having a lousy workout. You must be OK with the fact you will be weak and puny and rotten at it. Any workout, no matter how bad it is, is always better than NO workout at all. You just can't feel bad after a workout. Ever! If you've got good energy and you do the best you can, you'll have a great workout. If your energy and motivation are in the toilet and you do it anyway (even poorly), you've had a great workout!"

    I've done 3 or more rounds of P90X, parts of P90X3 and 1 round of Body Beast. I loved P90X the original and still use the Plyometrics video sometimes - saw some great results. However Body Beast was my favorite! I outgrew my dumbbells at home and have been going to the gym for a year now. Body Beast helped me go from scrawny to building muscles and I love my muscles. I now use programs on the Body Space app (free) through bodybuilding.com. *Do your best and forget the rest :smile:

    I love BodyBeast too, I invested in quite of few dumbbells. Was debating to go with Blowflex dumbbells or just buy individual. I decided pure iron was a better choice.

    Core De Force is going to be my next purchase. It looks really fun to do.

    I got up early to complete my workout & I'm feeling good. :) Even though it's difficult to get back into the early AM routine, I am generally more consistent with early morning workouts than I am with trying to do it late at night. What time do you workout?

    I am a 5:30 a.m. workout person. It took a little to get used to, but I think it makes the day so much better when you start it with a workout

    My workout is usually around 7pm. I wake up at 5:30 just to get ready for work. It's about an hour commute. I would rather start my day with a morning workout, but I think I might transition for a morning 10 minute workout, to start the day. I'll see how this goes by next week.

    I did most of P90X back in the day but got bored with it. I'm on day 8 of Insanity today and if my diet were better, maybe I'd be losing weight. I'm going to join the gym this week and double up on Insanity and 5x5 upper body workouts.
