Beachbody

I'm here to talk to you about my latest discovery in fitness which are the products from that company named BeachBody.

I saw an ad one night on TV from a so called product called the 10 minute trainer. At that time, I've been visiting the gym about 3 times a week for a year and a half where I was always doing those long full body workouts including cardio, strength training and stretching. All of these take about an hour and a half to complete for me.

So when I saw this ad I was like "What the....". This just can't be possible. How could you in 10 minutes have a workout as efficient as an hour workout in a gym. So I kept looking at the ad, trying to find the thing that would convince me that this is just impossible. Guess what, it didn't happen. I 'm not the type of guy who purchases something for nothing. So after viewing the whole thing I visited the website and tried to see some feedback from users who owned it and everyone seemed happy about it. So I finally decided to order it to find out by myself...and guess what, it DOES truly work!

Every workout really lasts 10 minutes. In fact it is ten successive one minute moves. Add 2 minutes for the warmup and another 2 minutes for the cool down if you decide to do them (strongly recommended!) There are different types of of 10 minute workouts available : Total body (works everything), cardio, lower body, abs and yoga flex. If you purchase the "10 minute trainer deluxe" package you will get these 3 additional workouts : Upper body, Total body 2 and Core Cardio. Your package will come with one resistance band (2 additional ones if you buy the deluxe) plus a whole lot of bonus stuff. One of these bonuses include a calendar that tells you which workout to do on each day for the next 30 days. You will also get a cardio belt and a door attachment that you can use to add resistance in your cardio trainings!

As efficient as the workouts are, you should do a single 10 minute workout only when you are really (really!) short on time. If you have more time, do 2 consecutive workouts and if you have a lot of time, do 3 of them! You will see results a lot faster! You could do them at 3 different times in the day but it would be better to do the 3 workouts consecutively. The fact is that the longer you keep your heart rate up, the more calories are burned and the better your whole system gets.

I can assure you that this is a great product! I sweat more after 3 ten minute workouts than after my whole hour and a half at my gym! They may be only ten minutes but I guarantee you that they are intense! There are a lot more products available from Beachbody. Women will probably like Turbo Jam which is like a dance party workout. Men who want to loose fat and gain muscle will go for the popular P90X. There are products available for every kind of people! All of their products come with a 30 day guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the product within those 30 days, just send it back and you will get your refund. But you can keep all the bonuses for you!

I've been training almost daily since I received my 10 minute trainer and I can see great results on myself! My fat percentage went down and I also feel much stronger everywhere. I previously thought that doing long complete workouts 3 times a week was enough (and I'm not saying it is bad) but now I know for sure that it is better to train 5 to 6 times a week even if it is for shorter periods each time. And it is much easier to train more often when you can do so in the comfort of your home!

But I'm not saying that I canceled my gym account. In fact, the more possibilities you have to remain active, the better! Plus variety is very important in exercising since your muscles get rapidly used to always doing the same thing over and over. You will limit your potential a lot if you don't change your workouts regularly. That's why I still go to the gym once in while and do my long workout.

But working out is not the only key in being in good physical shape. All of your exercising can be wasted if you don't eat right. More on that in a future post!
