About a year ago is when I was first introduced to "Beachbody". I remember the day clearly. I was sitting in the bar of Pancho's in Manhattan Beach and looked up at the TV screen and was mesmerized. I seriously couldn't take my eyes of the screen. I felt so stupid it was an infomercial that I was seriously drawn into. After that night (which by the way did not stop me from enjoying Pancho's amazing margaritas along with chips & salsa) I couldn't stop thinking about the infomercial. They seriously hypnotized me. I thought to myself wow, what a work out. It looked intense and fun at the same time. I loved the fact that it was geared towards both men and women. Well, eventually I got over it.
Then, wedding season arrived. My very good friend was getting married so of course there was event and event. Each time I saw her she looked better and better. By the time her wedding hit she literally was in the best shape of her life, better than when she started college. She looked amazing and she gave all the credit to P90X.
So of course I begin my day dreaming all over again. I think to myself, "Wow, maybe an infomercial can actually jump start my desire to work out again."
Following my friends wedding I decide to take the plunge and buy my first set of Beachbody DVDS. I decide to invest in the P90X series. I jump on board and do everything I can to follow the program. I can't say I was the best student, I was a committed student, but not the best. The workout was great, P90X really worked my core which is my weakest link. It helped get me pumped and excited to workout each day. I have to admit why I say I wasn't the best student, after awhile I found that the length of the tapes became difficult. I wanted to work out so badly and I really whole heartedly love the series, however my schedule was a problem. The tapes were usually an hour and working out 6 days a week was hard. I did the best I could and I can happily report that I saw results.
Then another friend introduced me to "INSANITY". The program was the best thing to cross my path. Within the Insanity set you have tapes that are around 30 - 40 min and there are tapes that run for an hour. The work out is a serious core, cardio blast. The best workout I have come across in years. I use to be a cross-country runner until my knee went caput. Since then I have struggled to find my fix. And now I found it, INSANITY. It's amazing. It's fun. And it seriously makes a difference quickly. I didn't follow the program exactly. I worked out 3 days a week selecting the tapes I liked best. And with that I saw great results. I can only imagine if I had the will power to stick with the true recommendations. The images I was drooling over in Pancho's could really be me.
Here is a video sneak peek:
If anyone is looking for a fitness change I strongly recommend Beachbody. The best part is there is a set for everyone. If you order one and feel it's not for you return it and pick out something new. I kept both P90X and Insanity because I see value in both programs.
