Beachbody.com Exercise Videos Reviewed

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to purchase and evaluate several exercise videos.  I love exercise videos.  I’m able to get a really good workout from home when I don’t have time to go to the gym or whenever I travel.  I’ve been able to try Tae-Bo, 6 minute whatevers (arms, abs, etc…), power yogas, and a lot of videos by Beachbody.com.  By far my favorites are the videos from Beachbody.

Most exercise videos that I’ve used follow the same routing.  There’s a person there who welcomes you to the workout, they lead you through a warmup, then there’s a part that is supposed to give you a workout, then there’s the cooldown.  The problem with most of these videos is that the people leading them are quite stodgy and boring.  In addition, the workouts are either too hard and complex or there’s not enough space inside my house to complete all of the moves.  Here’s where Beachbody really shines.

Of the videos that I have and will review in the weeks to come, the leader is Tony Horton.  Tony a very funny instructor yet he is obviously fit and able to do all of the moves while guiding you through certain positions.  I believe that his charisma and sense of humor really make the time fly by whenever I’m doing one of the videos.

In the following week or so, I’ll be reviewing my favorite Beachbody videos.  If any of those look good to you, I encourage to you to head on over to their site and buy the video. You won’t regret it.  While you’re at it, really enhance your weight loss with ProactolProactol can help you lose up to 6 pounds per week when combined with exercise!

Reach Your Goals

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

WinnerI often hear people talking about goals and how they seem to be unable to reach them. I find this statement a little sad but also have to think that these people fail to plan. I am sure that you’re familiar with the saying “those that fail to plan plan to fail”. This popular saying states that if you don’t set goals and milestones, you’ll never get to where you want to go. My opinions is that if you set realistic goals for yourself, you’ll be able to reach them. There’s something to setting goals that you can achieve that really motivate you to go and do whatever it takes to get there.

Here are some tips to help you achieve your goals:

  1. Write down your “ultimate goal”. Although your ultimate goal may seem far out of reach right now, write it down anyway.
  2. Break down your ultimate goal into several steps that are realistic. For example, if your goal is to lose 100 pounds then obviously that won’t happen in 1 month. You need to break that down into something more realistic like “drop 5 pounds this month”
  3. Give yourself a report card. At the end of every small goal, have a heart to heart with yourself. How did you do? What went wrong? What was great? How can you improve? Was the goal too easy?
  4. If you can, get someone to hold you accountable. Have a friend see your goals and have them check up on you every month or every week. It’s amazing what a friend can do to help you reach your goals!
  5. Don’t give up! If you miss a milestone for the month, don’t quit and give up. Write down your goals again and get motivated. Never EVER quit! You can do it!

Dieting and Budgeting

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

What do dieting and budgeting have in common? Aside from the fact that neither is necessarily fun, they can both be rewarding if followed properly. Diets and budgets are alike in that your body needs to burn more calories than it takes in if it is to lose weight. A budget is set up to make you money and show you how much you can spend and how much you will keep for yourself. They are very similar principles and can be used to your advantage. Below are 5 good reasons to set up and stick to your dietary budget:

  1. You will lose weight!
  2. You will gain self-esteem
  3. You will be healthier

Write down what you want to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks for each day. One snack between breakfast and lunch and one snack between lunch and dinner. Go to the grocery and purchase all of the ingredients for the week. Get rid of all junk in your house before you start! Additionally, find out how many calories you need to take in every day by visiting a site like fitday.com.

That’s it! Make your plan, get your ingredients, and get your food ready. Winter is coming and now is the time to make some great low calorie soups! You can easily make soups to last you a week.
