Beachbody?

I am currently doing second round of Insanity Max 30. Also finished t25 back in March.

Isn't Beachbody an MLM program?

Beachbody coaches are MLM , Beachbody programs are just regular workout dvds.

I love the workout dvds. I own t25 and Piyo. They may be expensive but IMO, cheaper than a gym so it's all relative. I like working out at home so it works for me!

I've just ordered T25 and insanity second hand from cex UK as I couldn't afford the full price. Can't wait to get started!

I like the programs. The instructors are fun to follow, and they kick my *kitten*. I still love P90X abs over all the other ab routines I've tried. Insanity was nice, but I felt it was too sports and cardio based for my liking, but I would like to give it another try. Body Beast made me feel like a *kitten* in the gym, because I was always lifting light dumbbells in order to actually complete the work outs. lol

I just torrent them for free

I used to take the shakes but they became too expensive. I own a couple of the workouts. I moved to upstate NY and left them in Florida so now I do the Beachbody on Demand, that way I have them all there and pick the one I want. I just started doing it last week and just do portion control on my eating and have lost 6lbs so far.

Shakeology made me eat more because I figured out I can't get my meals through a shake. It made me hungrier and crave real food. That was just my experience. They also aren't that pleasant tasting unless you add in fruits and other ingredients.

Beachbody on Demand is my jam though. I do still own most of them on dvd because wifi issues and buffering. They have made major improvements with the buffering and I stream them through my roku. I've done Body Beast, Insanity, IM 30, 21 day fix, etc and I just started Shift Shop yesterday. My second complaint is how they would look down on me for also having a gym membership..to that I say, to each their own.

Sign up for the Team BeachBody email list. Periodically they will have 50% off sales on DVD sets of older programs (usually around holidays; I'd expect the next one around Labor Day in the US). I got Insanity for pretty cheap that way. Have paid full price for other programs. But, I use them a lot so they are worth it.

But yeah, I have never bought any of their vitamins/supplements/shakes/etc. I am stuck on a liquid diet right now because of some complications from oral surgery last week and honestly, it stinks. I much prefer eating real food.

I did Shakeology for a good while (friend and his wife tried the coach thing) and I'll echo the sentiments of others that the quality and the amount of protein isn't great and the value is terrible. I like the convenience of a shake for breakfast though so I swapped it for Impact Whey from MyProtein. Protein content, taste, and value are much improved. My friend (the coach) also had me look at the ingredients of their supplement line and I think the same holds true that they are way way overpriced, even with a coach discount.

Regarding the workouts it all depends on what you like. I did P90X workouts (didn't follow the program, made my own order of things I liked that fit my schedule better) for about six months when i was first doing MFP and liked them well enough. Tried P90X3 at the behest of my coach-friend and thought they were gimmicky. I've heard my buddy talk about a so-called Ultimate Beachbody program some guy came up with that borrows from different programs (Insanity for cardio, PiYo for yoga, P90X for strength, etc.) which sounded like an interesting thought but never pursued it. Might be worth a google and trying to find torrents or borrow from a friend/library to rip the files you need.
