in Fitness and Exercise
Right now I am pretty sedentary. I work in an office and occasionally have to go up and down stairs a few times a day (three flights) at the apartment community that i work at. That is about as much exercise as i get. So i'm kind of a beginner. I am wanting to know which is better to start off? 30 day shred? Turbo Fire? P90X? I don't want to overwork myself to the point i want to give up, but i'm serious about getting a bangin' beach bod by summertime too. I don't really care about the number on the scale as long as i look good. Here are my stats:

Height: 5'8
Weight: 149
Goal: a toned/lean 135/140 (definitely not any less than 130)
Pants: size 9

I'm really fluffy in the middle, thats where i carry most of my weight, love handles and lower stomach. my upper body strength is laughable.... HELP!

    Supreme 90 Day is 20 bucks and without a doubt more bang for your buck. You can go to Collage Video to view the dvd. You get 10 workouts and the program is awesome.

    Check out Collage Video. Supreme 90 Day is what some call a knockoff P90X. I never tried P90x because I just couldn't see myself paying all that money. That's too much. I know for a fact that Supreme 90 Day works because I've done it and I am on my second round. Check them out on Facebook. I know some have purchased it at Target, Dollar stores, Bed Bath and Beyond an other places as low as 10 bucks. It is so worth it. Do yourself a favor for your body and your wallet.

    I'm not very familiar with all of the different videos, is turbofire and insanity part of p90x?
    do you have to have a lot of weights and pull up bars and such to do any of them? I don't really have TOO much room, and don't have any actual equipment.

    I started 30DS 3 days ago and would recommend that. I'd fallen out of my workout routine and find it helpful to start with a manageable 30 minutes a day to get back into a routine. P90X is great, but quite a time commitment. I plan to work my way up to that.

    You sound just like me! Same current weight, goal weight and I'm 5'10".

    I have tried P90X several times and just couldn't get into it, I found it boring. I started Turbofire last week and I LOVE it. I actually look forward to working out. It's fast paced so it holds my attention and I'm soaked in sweat when I'm done. Turbofire is it's own set of dvds.

    30DS is prbably the best for starting out, because it is shorter. However, I did TurboFire and was out of shape at the time, and absolutely loved it. The good thinkg about Turbo Fire is there are a lot of different workouts so you don't get bored. Personally, I would get tired of doing 30DS everyday, but I do it on occassion when I want a short, intense workout. Haven't tried P90X so no thoughts on that, but I hear it is more intense than the other two. Also, you can find Turbo Fire on ebay for about 1/2 price usually.

    I'd say to start out with 30DS. I was pretty out of shape and started out with that and my endurance definitely rose up.

    Slim in 6 is also great -- but gets rather boring, repetitive. Regardless, it delivers great results!

    I like P90X... the only one I have used is Ab Ripper X (I wish that showed up when adding exercises to your log?). The trainer is extremely cheesy, but in quite a likeable way. The program seems quite comprehensive.

    I think you might like "slim in 6". that is also from beachbody as well as "hip hop abs". They are both very fun aeasy to start with.

    Right now I workout using P90X and i LOVE it. the workouts have many different ways to either make the exercises more difficult or modify them to make them easier as your starting out. I feel it hits many of the things people miss and emphasize some weaknesses that many people have, including myself, as a result of this modern lifestyle.

    What ive done is ive ripped the audio from the dvds and put them onto my iphone and I do the P90X workouts at the gym. Working out at the gym gives me more space, easier time switching dumbbells and more weight, and a sturdier pullup bar. some of the workouts I still do at home but mostly I do them at the gym. its a great workout system, and will definitely challenge you and get you in awesome shape
