5 HONEST Beachbody Program Reviews

I've been meaning to do this post for a while...especially since I have a lot of friends asking about these programs. Do I get commission off of them? Yes. Do I use them daily and stand behind them 100%? Absolutely. Here are five of the programs I've tried and want to relay back to you.

1) ChaLEAN Extreme: This program is a lot of fun in general. Chalene Johnson is so motivating (and a MUST follow in Instagram) and inspirational. Her workouts can be done for any level by just varying the heaviness of the weights. This program is geared toward women, but men can certainly do it. The workouts average about 35min long and almost always incorporate weights. If you are looking to tone and build a little muscle, this is the right program. The entire program can be completed in 90 days (it has 3 phases) and includes a great little nutrition/recipe book.

2) T25: Get ready to jump around! This program is full of cardio, but not the boring steady-rate cardio most people are used to. The first few times it took me a while to get used to all of Shaun T's moves, and I was definitely flustered, but I was so exhausted I didn't care. There are two major phases (and a third for an additional fee) that runs a total of 10 weeks, with each workout exactly 25 minutes. It is very fast paced and some include weights, but the good news is that there IS a modifier who simplifies the moves. I would not recommend this for a true beginner though...definitely for someone who isn't afraid to sweat and move around nonstop.

3) 21 Day Fix: This is the newest member of the Beachbody family and quite a top-seller. The full program is only 21 days long, and the workouts vary from weights, to cardio, to yoga, and are suitable for all levels. Workouts are on average 30min.My favorite part of this program is the nutrition aspect. A full nutrition guide along with Tupperware comes with the program to teach portion control. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone who struggles with nutrition or thinks an entire bag of Doritos is a serving.

4) P90x3: Yes, this is the sibling to P90x and P90x2. This major pro of this program is that all of the workouts are only 30min each (although there is a ridiculously long warm-up). Workouts are varied (plyo, yoga, weights) and based off of very functional moves. The program can be completed in 90 days and has 4 versions of the program that you can do based on your goals. This set is suitable for all levels and will allow you to build muscle and burn fat at a moderate pace.

5) Body Beast: If you want muscle, this is your program. While the DVD's only feature men (thankfully Sagi's not too shabby to look at, and Sean the Bachelor is in a workout), women can certainly do this program and I'm living proof. To be honest, this was the hardest program for me to get in to since I just could not get motivated. But, over time I came to love it and found an online support group for women doing the program. The entire program can be completed in 90 days and has 3 phases to it as well as a pretty extensive nutrition guide. Anyone looking to build muscle or lose fat would benefit from this program.
