Max 30 is my fave cardio workout program. I still incorporate some workouts when I have cardio day!3 -
I'm on my 2nd week of Max 30. Just added Ab Attack to the Cardio Challenge yesterday and thought my death was on the horizon
Seriously, the beachbody programs saved me as far as my motivation to exercise. LOVE it all! 2 -
Everything I’ve read about Max30 is that it’s tough, but a great workout. That’s what I need!
Today I did Beta Speed 2.0
Stay Focused. Keep going! 😎1 -

OH! thoughts on LIIFT4?
I liked it over all. saw progress in how much weight I could handle properly and didn't *#@% myself up trying. nobody would be able to complain about getting bored, there's a different routine each day.
I also thought the pace of the sets/blocks...WERE cardio. I read people complain there wasn't enough cardio. CHOOSE BETTER WEIGHTS! LOL!!!
CONS! on demand only SUCKS! you are at the mercy of your internet connection and Beachbody themselves. if they just up and decided to not offer it anymore...you're BONED! no hard copy to go back to.0 -

So basically to get the HR up to the cardio range, lift heavier? I got that. But I'm limited in terms of grip and upper body strength as to how heavy I can lift. For example, the front loaded squats with a pair of 30 lb DBS feels easy. But I can't swing a pair of 35s or 40s up to my shoulders without injury. Bent over rows and chest presses with 25s feels easy, but my grip gives out on 30s.
Any suggestions on how to work around that?
Thanks.

similar issue with grip. my hands, fingers and forarms want to give out, just hold it. it hurts...but we need better grip strength. strong upper body doesn't mean much if i can't hold on.
also a similar situation on the front load squats. i can't curl the weight required for a leg exercise. what i did...and it took some practice. use light weight first. ok...for 45's-50's+, i'd try using momentum to swing them up then kinda half squat and catch them on my shoulders (don't hit your face! or knock yourself over). then stand up and bring the other ends together.
for rows...have you tried straps?
just for clarification..."better" weights doesn't nessessarily mean "heavier". that's not what i meant. a lot of the moves, if it were just that move for 3 sets...i'd go heavier. super sets and giant sets, there's no break so i picked weights that were still challenging in a back to back...to back...to back format. maybe i should have said pick "correct" weights that would get the job done. sorry about that. hope this helps.

Thanks. This sounds like right up my alley though I prefer DVDs. I agree you to need to pick a weight to challenge yourself; I am learning this in body beast. I may consider on demand after I complete my cycle of dvd programs. Still have a few to complete and revisit.2 -

Body Beast Week 5 Day 1 - Bulk chest
Have a happy and productive week all!1 -
I haven’t worked out much so I need to get back into it. I got Insanity for a super deal even though I’m not ready for it yet. I couldn’t pass it up, though. I’m still waiting for Max30 to be delivered. Hopefully this week 🤞🏻
This morning I popped in the Plyometric Cardio Insanity workout to see how far I could go. I got through half of it 🙂 I knew I wasn’t starting the program so I didn’t start with the Fit Test.2
