Our Introduction to Beachbody

Post by Shannon

Patrick and I were introduced to Beachbody through P90X. I wanted to try it because I was tired of not seeing results, and Patrick was just curious to see what I was doing!

Someone I knew completed the program, and looked great. So I thought I'd give it a try. I did the full 90- day program, and I was hooked! I used the meal planner and did all of the workouts. I thought it was an awesome program. I was able to lose weight faster than when I was just walking and running. I was also able to tone my whole body. 

I loved doing it at home especially since I had a baby several months before. I also loved that it gave me direction to know which exercises to do when; and what to eat and when. This helped a lot. I used to go to the gym, but I didn't know which exercises to do and which order I should do them. This program gave me a lot of direction. 

Doing P90X helped me reach my goal of running a half marathon about 11 months after my baby was born. Since I was able to lose weight easier, I was able to run better and faster. I ran about 3 times a week while doing the P90X. I also did my long runs each week. 

Patrick and I are big fans of P90X. We know it works and love our results!

P90X vs. Insanity

Post by Shannon & Patrick

We have both tried P90X and Insanity. Since we started the programs people have asked us which one we like better. 

This is what we think.

Facts about P90X:

-12 workouts
-90 days
-Awesome meal plan with recipes!
-It is a mix of cardio, weights, stretching, Yoga
-You need some equipment (weights, chin up bar, pushup stands & Yoga mat). Some things are optional like the push up stands and Yoga mat.
-The workouts are 60-90 minutes.
-We think this workout is good to get toned and ripped. It can help you lose weight too.
-P90X is more serious.

Overall, we think this one is good if you want to lift weights, get ripped/toned and like a well rounded workout. Each workout is awesome! Patrick likes this one better than Insanity. Patrick didn't like Insanity.

Facts about Insanity:

-It has a lot of cardio.
-60 days.
-It is AWESOME for losing weight.
-10 workouts.
-There are A LOT of pushups!
-You don't need any equipment except for an optional Yoga mat.
-A heart rate monitor is very helpful.
-Workouts are 35-55 minutes.
-It is more upbeat than P90X.
-It has a lot of interval training.

Overall, this is a really fun workout if you like aerobics, track drills, or jumping. This one is for a shorter time period and the workouts are shorter in the first month. This is great for losing weight, but not as good for getting toned or ripped like P90X. Shannon likes this one better than P90X, but is also a big fan of P90X.

Stay tuned for which workouts we will be started in January!

McDonalds...

Post by Patrick

I love McDonalds. I am one of their biggest fans. This isn't a good thing when you are trying to lose weight and get in shape. So I am taking it one step at a time. The other day I ordered water with my meal instead of a soda. I also ordered a small fry instead of a large one. I thought was pretty good for me! Okay, so I have a long way to go, but I am feeling more motivated than ever before.

My workouts are going good. I like feeling sore afterwards. I really like P90X. It's awesome! So far I've done kempo, plyometrics, and the arms and chest workout.

True Story

Post by Shannon

This is a true story.

I thought I was so rich when I graduated from college in 2005 because I had my first "real" job! (I wasn't very rich actually). So I decided to get a personal trainer at a gym. I bought a gym pass that was about $20 a month. Then they talked me into getting a personal trainer for $40 a half hour each week for a year. I couldn't cancel. I had to do it every week for a year. So that's about $2,320 for one year! I wasn't feeling so rich after that.

I wanted to lose about 5 pounds at the time. I think I lost about 3 lbs. that whole year!

Moral of the story... It wasn't worth it!

Flash forward to 2010, six months after having my first baby. I was frustrated and depressed with the weight I'd gained. I'd never been that big in my life! I tried walking every day for an hour and then running as soon as I could, but it wasn't working. Some people told me I would lose the weight easily just from nursing my baby. If I followed that tip, I would have never lost the weight!

I'd heard about P90X from some people. One person I knew lost 80 pounds from doing it! So I thought I'd try it. I LOVED it! It was just what I needed. I started following the eating plan and doing the workouts everyday. Some days I even went running in addition to the workouts.

After 90 days I was ready for another challenge. So I tried Insanity. This was awesome too! After 60 days, my weight wasn't just back to what it was before I was pregnant, but lower and I was in shape too. It's one thing to lose weight, but it is harder to be in shape too.

This time my workouts were about $250 for both programs, and I had way better results than I did with a trainer for a year! I loved my results!

Since then I've had another baby, and lost the weight even faster because I started sooner using Insanity, Turbo Fire and Shakeology!

So instead of buying expensive gym pass and personal training session, get a Beachbody Challenge Pack! That is a workout, plus Shakeology! You save on both the workout and Shakeology, and you'll get much better results than the gym! And... if you want to save 25% on future purchases, sign up to be a coach! The coach fee is waived for the first month when you buy a challenge pack! Awesome!
