Once you sign up, you will get instructions on how to set up your login and password, and how to access your programs on your devices. And don’t get me started on how I look when I work out….) (I would never “swing by” a gym, much less get dressed to go. Much cheaper than a gym membership, especially as my I prefer to work out at home. I got a year of unlimited access to Beach Body’s most popular (and some older) programs for $99 (currently).
So, I was happy to help support my friend and see if this program was something that I was going to use regularly. I initially bought BeachBody on Demand (“BOD” as they abbreviate it on their app and as I will refer to it here) from a friend who had recently become a BeachBody “Coach”.īasically, part of BeachBody has become a network marketing (aka, direct sales/MLM) company, using its Coaches to sell programs like BOD, along with supplements and shakes, including the infamous Shakeology, all of which are generally good quality products. If you are someone who wants to get “shredded”, be super toned and fit, but also like variance and speed in your workouts, this is where Beachbody on Demand comes in. However, I have yet to have any problems with that. Nowadays, I trust that my BeachBody coach would help me with whatever problems I had with my BeachBody on Demand or other BeachBody credit-card charging issues. (Note: I don’t know that those allegations were true, but it was certainly a prevalent complaint in many online forums at the time.) So, I was nervous to go with them directly, and figured Amazon was safer. I bought the program from Amazon because, at the time, (and before they became a reputable MLM), BeachBody didn’t have the best online reputation for responsibly charging credit cards. When I initially bought Body Beast, I didn’t buy it from a Coach (I didn’t know any at the time), I bought it here as a DVD set. And then my chronic fatigue issues kick in. I could probably do quite a bit in a gym with a class, but by myself, I get bored. I generally don’t have the stamina nor the interest level to motivate myself enough to endure those programs, at least not at home. The one I bought was Body Beast because it is a bit more low-impact than the other programs.īeachbody is probably best known for its popular high-impact, high aerobic exercise programs like P90x, Insanity, and PIYo. My Use of Beach Body Productsīefore BeachBody had an on-demand site/app, I bought one of their stand-alone workout programs that I’d seen on an infomercial because it was exactly what I was looking for at the time, and I still use it most often. Get that heart rate up at least 20 minutes per day. So, this is your encouragement to do something in the way of exercise. I definitely remember feeling that way in the midst of a situation I found very trying, and recognized immediately after exercising that I felt a little better and more stable, even though the situation hadn’t changed in those 45 minutes. It helps to clear out the mental cobwebs, if you will.
And I have found this to really be true when I’m dealing with unpleasant situations in life. It’s also been shown to be very helpful in good mental health. I exercise because it’s healthy for my body.īut I will confess I like my body better when I’m exercising and more toned. There are some people who love to go to the gym, work on their bodies and get in shape. I feel like I should first say: I don’t really like to exercise.
