Beachbody programs- beginner and want to get strong. Recommendations?

[mi75 1,239]

i did not join PF after all, they told me they don't really do much with strength and that their focus is on fitness only. HUH?

i have been online looking at the Beachbody stuff and this might be a good option to start at home with a regimen.

anybody have good recommendations on any of their programs? i am VERY new and very much a beginner, and just starting to get in shape after losing 55 lbs (so far, i have 35 to go).

i walk daily so i am looking more for a training program for strength and don't want anything that i will turn off after 4-5 minutes because it's killing me.

thanks!

are you talking about shakeology? I personally hate peer to peer sales. people pray on friends and family. those business models are not good. if the product was so good, just sell it in a store like everything else. I don't know much about the fitness side. All I know is my Facebook is loaded with tons of peer marketing garbage and my friends use those social networks to spread their propaganda.

sorry for the vent, but it is annoying.

no, not shakology. they have entire lines of various fitness/srength programs like brazil butt lift, slim in 6, body beast, Px90 1-3, etc. i am looking for anybody who has used any of these programs to give me some reviews on their programs which they liked the best and why.

i don't need shakes for weight loss. i had bariatric surgery...

I have heard a lot of great things from friends that do T-25.

The biggest plus is that it's only 30 minutes but it is not easy. It works if you work it properly.

I have seen great results with 21 day fix as well... The workouts are more beginner friendly but all of the BB workouts have a person doing an easier less advanced version of the moves. Those workouts are 30 minutes as well.

"mi75".......what exactly are your goals in regards to resistance training? For athletics/sport to improve explosive/ballistic power? For physique/appearance/posture? For overall strength numbers as in poundage like powerlifting? To improve performance in the bedroom? A combination of more than one of those? The more info you give as to what exactly you're wanting to accomplish from lifting, the better direction we may be able to point you. Sounds perhaps like you may be leaning a little more towards physique or esthetics? There's no wrong answer, any of those are good reasons, just wanting to better advise you.

I started with the power 90 home boot camp. This is a great program for beginners, explains everything well as far as what the moves do and how to do things right. There are two phases I. The 00 day program as well. I did the whole thing once and then did the second phase for another 90, increasing how well I kept up and the weights I lifted. I'd start with this. I'm now on week 9 if p90x3, and I never would've been able to do any without a good base from the power 90. Hope this helps!

Sorry about my typo. It's supposed to say in the 90 day program as well. Darn phone!
