    Your favorite beachbody workout?

    edited December 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
    I am looking to order a beachbody workout in the next couple weeks. I have been doing mostly Jillian Michaels since Jan '12 and I am so burned out with her. I do still enjoy her kickbox fastfix though. I also do Zumba which I love! I am 5'4 and about 183 now. So what is your favorite beachbody program? I love things that are fun but still kick your booty. lol

      Well if you like kickboxing and Zumba, Turbo Fire might be a good mix for you. I think it's a lot of fun but it still can kick your butt lol

      I do like the looks of that one but not sure if it would be to fast for me to keep up. I know though with anything it takes time to learn everything.

      I do think starting out with TurboJam would be better than ordering TurboFire and I just cant keep up.

      I started with TurboJam. It's not too dancey, which was good for me. Chalene Johnson, the instructor, is very upbeat and encouraging. TJ is beginner to intermediate level. I did that for a long time before I decided I wanted something new and more challenging. Having done TJ made the transition to TurboFire pretty easy. TF is much more advanced and a lot of fun. I *love* it.

      I am in the same exact boat!! Just finishing Ripped in 30 and joining a July challenge where I can get a beachbody workout for only $40. My question though is I am looking for one that will get me cut, and I see most of their stuff is cardio based. I agree I don't think I am ready for Insanity yet either, or P90x. What I LOVED about Jillian is quick results and only 30 mins a day!!

      Chalean extreme

      I think Chalean Extreme is a great option for you. Its weight training and some cardio and is broken down into three phases.

      Here is information from the site:
      http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/chalean-extreme-workout

      Slim in 6 is another effective program that doesn't get as much attention as the others but many people love it. Great for beginners.

      Les Mills Pump is fantastic (all weight training and only 3 days per week!) Its more expensive though because you need weights (I do wish they'd offer it without the weights):
      http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/les-mills-pump-workout

      Turbo Fire does have a new option to buy that comes with the breakdown of the moves to prepare you, I don't think I'd like that but many do! (see the Get Fired Up and Fire Starter Classes DVD)
      http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/turbofire-workout

      They also have Body Gospel, Rev Abs, Hip Hop Abs-Beachbody has so many other programs, literally something for everyone.

      Hope this helps!

      In order of preference:

      1. ChaLEAN Extreme
      2. Insanity
      3. P90X

      Please note that all three on my list are really close, so ChaLEAN is #1, but not by much.....and Insanity is #2 over P90X, but not by much either.

      I started with Chalean Extreme and I was pretty out of shape. Luckily I had a great beachbody coach who helped me choose. I will be done with CLX in about 2 weeks and have had great results. I am going to start TurboFire after that. Message me if I can be of any help or if you have any questions.

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hip Hop Abs. It is high energy, easy on the knees, and fun.

      I love Turbofire. I had done TurboKick classes at the gym before and loved them, so I was already a bit familiar with it. I also really like Chalene as an instructor - she's very upbeat without being annoyingly chipper.

      I did TurboJam first and I got bored with it so easily! I am heavier than you and I am doing P90X right now and I want to do Turbo Fire next. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Just go for it!! TURBO FIRE - Chalene is amazing.

      Actually, I think Ripped in 30 was the perfect prep for P90X. The workouts are twice as long, but it's a lot of the same weight lifting and cardio moves, plus more variety like yoga and kenpo. And you can always start with the weights or bands you can handle now and work up to the pull-up bar. I can't lift my body weight yet, so I'm using the bands.

      I do miss being able to get RI30 done before work though. With P90X, I have to work out in the evening when I'm more tired.

      If you want to get cut, I really think P90X is your best bet in the Beachbody collection.

      Turbo Jam was ok..but I was bored very easily and lost focus. Chalean Extreme and Insanity

      Sounds like you don't think you're "fit enough" or "ready" for any of them since you're saying you wouldn't be able to keep up.
      I know people who aren't in shape at all and did insanity. I think you should try turbofire, you'll be able to do it.

      Insanity Asylum my fav hands down...........P90X will always have a place in my heart though

      I agree with the pp who said Turbo Fire. It's intense, yes, but effective and fun :-) I'm on my last week of Turbo Fire, starting Chalene Extreme next week. When I first did TF, there were a few routines that I didn't get right away, but I figured them out eventually, and now I anticipate each move, I know them when she calls them out. I think you'll be fine!

      I did P90X then Insanity. I feel as though P90X prepared me for Insanity. Weight training vs circuit training. I like them both for different reasons. I was looking at what to do next so thanks for posting!

      Good luck on finding what works for you!

      Turbo Fire is my absolute favorite!! For me it's THE most fun of all of the Beachbody workouts I've tried (P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam)Turbo Jam is a lot of fun, too (and less intense than TF). I found that Turbo Fire is the only program that keeps me motivated beyond two weeks.
