Beachbody Thread 6 (Insanity, T25, 21 Day Fix, 80 Day Obsession etc)

Thanks for the welcome Reindeer.

I tried Unico for a shake. I got the cinnamon bun flavour (Amazing but so sweet - ideal for a sweet tooth like mine). International shipping on that costs a freaking bomb. So for that reason I wouldnt recommend it.

I saw Vega Protein ones in H&B... My body starts to reject whey after a while... makes me go all bloaty and Vega is a vegan one so I thought I might give that a go.

I also tried Women's Best Pre Workout drink and BCAA Aminos. Both were nice and both gave me a little boost for my workouts which was lovely. They just helped me push past that wall

I'll let you guys know about the Vega Protein one when I get it

Hello! It’s so nice for there to be lots of posts on here again. Welcome plink!

Ive been exercising but not posting. Except for yesterday when I was late so missed my workout slot. Did a Joel double (or maybe 1.5 as one of the workouts was only 18mins) to make up for it today. I’ve still got my cold though

No idea on a bike reastie. Sorry. I’ve got a boardman road bike which I got years ago through the cycle to work scheme. It is too scary and fast for me though so I don’t use it much.

I’m just accumulating dumbbells at home now, whoever asked re weights. I mostly use 8kg except for biceps and triceps when I use 4kg. Am going to ask for some new weights for bday. 10kg or 12kg? Gulp. Fitness superstore has nice cheapish ones. Will definitely be getting bbod for bday too and starting lift.
No way would I use shakeology. It is sooooo expensive. I feel sure there is a cheaper way to supplement than that.
Have a good evening all.

Can I join? Week 3 of Insanity Max but not losing any weight. I've done Insanity and Insanity Max in the past to keep fit and I loved them, despite them being pretty tough going.

Because of life circumstances I've put on 1.5 stones over the past year. I want to lose the excess weight.

I don't follow the diet but try to eat around 1500 or less calories a day. Still no luck. I even thought my scale was broken. I bought a new one but the readings are the same.

I did a quick review of what is in Cardio Flow and I think I might like it so will give that a go this evening. Legs are a little but not majorly sore after legs yesterday.

I would find it really hard to justify the shakeology prices as well, esp as that is a monthly cost if you have it daily. YOUR DAILY DOSE OF DENSE SUPERFOOD NUTRITION lol

Reastie no bike recs from me, but sprints sound like a grueller!!

Yumyumpoppycat..that is great... I hope to begin Oct 1 . It will get my mind back on track as soon as back from hols. Woop woop!

Although having read theromans review of that shred workout there, I am a little scared !!

Ah thanks Yumyum and Roman

I did have 3 months last year of BOD but it just wasn't realistic with my LO. He was a feeding monster and quite clingy. If I wasn't there after half an hour he'd cry his eyes out. Not fun trying to workout when that was happening.

I'm also interested in 25MHC but have to admit, I'm a Shaun T gal at heart. I swear at the evil man when I'm doing it but it's a love-hate relationship 😂😂

Plink if you sign up for the year it works out cheaper at about £9 a month - is there anyone who might get you a year sub as a Christmas present? To be honest though you might be able to find enough free stuff to add some variety to the sets you already have. I defo would not bother with shakeology if you are on a budget.

Porridge I will be starting LIIFT when it comes to basic BBOD.

Reastie I am so impressed that you do spin workouts - they are killer!

Roman hopefully there might be an offer on weights closer to Christmas - one more decent rubber set might be better to use than clanky adjustable ones anyway.

Hope your feeling better Purple - I did 8x8 as I really didn't feel like exercising or 30 mins and it made a good change from clean week ones.

Thanks Reastie

BOD is £30 a month. Only £1 a day but when you consider I've only got £82.80 coming in a month and that's for the LO, it's doesn't fit into my budget 😂

Les Mills? I'm intrigued... I've heard of it but have no idea what it entails?

Hi plink, welcome.

Ohh I’m going to check out hasfit too!thanks porridge for recommendation.

How much is bod per month? LMOD is just under £10a month, interesting to see how it compares in price. Plink if you can’t afford bbod might be worth trying les mills on demand if it’s cheaper, they often do free trial offer (think I got a month). I love it!

Planning different spin tomorrow on LMOD. Have been doing their rpm classes but they’ve just started a new type of bike release called something like sprint. Will be interesting to see how it compares. I need a new bike though so if anyone has a recommendation for a mountain/road combi type of bike would love recommendations. Want a decent one but not something hugely supersonic or expensive.

Yeah mainly for days when I'm super busy and don't have time to make breakfast.

I don't want to put a bunch of crap in my body though so Shakeology looked pretty good. They do sell it pretty hard 😂 but it's like £90 for 30 sachets and I couldn't justify it 😂

Can't do too much meal replacement as I'm still BFing.

I tasted shakeology before and it was lovely. I got a few sachets when I ordered my insanity boxset. I don't think i am a shakes person though to be fair but looking into shakeology more, it does seem like a very good product but they beachbody people sell it too hard. Do you want it as a meal replacement ?

Oh wow really? I'll check that one out definitely! Thank you so much.

Does anyone drink the Shakeology? I've wanted it for ages and I know it's finally available in the UK. But for those of us who want a cheaper alternative, is there anything anyone would recommend?

I was looking at the Vega Protein shakes?

Such a pity as it is great. I know it may not be BOD but there is a fantastic site with all free workouts called hasfit.com. You can choose type, length, difficulty level etc and it is quality.

Hi porridge

I would love to but I'm not on BOD anymore

I just have Insanity and T25 on disc. I did love BOD when I was on it. I did 21DF for a bit and TH10MW just to ease back into it after pregnancy.

Sadly with my being a SAHM I don't get much of an income so it's not in my budget at the mo. Desperate to get back on it though

Reastie, sounds like you have a great weekly plan. Rounded!!

That is so funny that you skipped booty each week. I did the first leg day today (day5) and it was good, really old school squats, sumos, curtseys... surely those are for your ass as well ? Definite cross over. I know big asses are all the rage now, but I don't like seeing any part of me getting bigger!!

Are the changeable weights the bowflex ones? They cost a bomb. I would love them too. So tidy!!

Hi Pink. i will be starting Lift4 on October 1st when its on general BOD release if you fancy an accountability buddy?

Oh yes!!! That sounds perfect.

I hate cardio. Really drag myself to do it. But have always loved weights!! Sounds like the right one for me!!

I had no idea there was a BBody thread!!! Yay!! How exciting!!

Hello fellow BBody lovers!!

I've done bits of T25 and Insanity.

Alot harder to do it now with a LO but I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

Anyone tried Liift4 yet? Opinions?

Not really porridge. I used to but I have various injuries (I feel like I moan on and on about them so won’t dwell!) so I can no longer work through B.B. programs as I’m limited in what I do. My current rough weekly schedule is one run, one body attack, one spin, and two others depending on what I fancy to include a strength or yoga non cardio workout. I mix it up with the body attack and spin by doing different workouts on LMOD within the genre so hopefully my body doesn’t get too used to it. I used to be a bit obsessed with pushing myself really hard and never feeling I was fit enough or good enough and couod never be as good as they were on the DVD’s but I’m trying to accept that it’s fine to work hard but not have to be as good as they are in the videos!

I have never been to Teneriffe as an adult so I am looking forward to it great. We did go to Lanzarote earlier this year and got stranded there for 5 extra days due to storm Emma.
6lbs gained that hols... yikes!! This is why I need exercise !!

Do your follow some kind of calendar for your workouts Reastie?

I agree, 4:30 start is pretty hard core, I wouldn’t do it!

Porridge I’m of your holiday next week, I bet it’s a lovely time to go to Tenerife.

Did cxworx this morning. Modified a fair bit as usual and found it a good work out. Good old Corey popped up on it, he seems to pop up on so many LMOD workouts!

Rest day tomorrow workout wise but off to London for a course so will be a long tiring day...

4:30am is just not right !! Any benefits of the healthy regime would be lost due to pure exhaustion.

I don't really like the booty one from a little obsessed so I might mix and match the 80day week 1 up a bit. Maybe try legs this evening, so thats probably day 5?
Teneriffe next week means this is not a proper start week as is.

Are you enjoying Lift4? I am really looking forward to beginning this one. Soon as well... it will be ready once I get back from holidays!! Do you have a big weights selection?

Also... Joel is delicious !!

Morning ladies!!
I think it is cold season all over, also there is manflu in my house! Yikes

Fast yoga is probably suited to people who have low attention spans. I would probably fare better at that than the long poses myself but the long poses are probably where all the benefits are!

Reading this thread motivated me to look at 80day obsesion yesterday. I did day 1! It was good but long. Hard to get up earlier to fit that in. 1 hour is a lot. This was bang on 1 hour. I did enjoy it though and I am feeling great twinges today!! Sides esp!

2 stone is a huge weight loss Roman. I often find that it is when I lose weight it is almost when I gain a little lb or two back that people then start to notice that I lost some!! Ironic!!

Hope your cold gets better soon purple, I’m getting one too (thanks also dd!). Every single year within the first 2 weeks of school she gets a cold!

Maybe £9 isn’t bad then. If it were a really good class and slower pace I think I would’ve signed up but also I have to pay for the term and I know there are weeks I can’t do and it involves hanging around town for an hour (before the shops open) in town on my previous day off to wait for it to start and I decided I couod use the time better. I’ll go back to body balance on LMOD.

Porridge how are you doing? (Which reminds me of joey tribiani, I didn’t mean it like that obv. Started watching all the friends repeats on channel 5 again as haven’t seen them for years and really enjoying them)
