Beachbody’s “Power 90″ Reviewed

Power 90After using “Great Body Guaranteed” for a few years, I decided that it was time to try a new video from Beachbody.  I’d been so satisfied with Great Body and the ability to work out anywhere that I was sure that I’d be happy with pretty much anything made by them.  That’s when I went to their website and saw they had a program called “Power 90″.

Power 90 is a 3-month program that takes you from beginner to expert level exerciser.  The video is top notch and is feature packed.  The video includes 6 routines:

  • Sculpt Circuit 1–2 Easy moves that work to tone, firm, and strengthen your entire body. (29 minutes)
  • Sweat Cardio 1–2 Fun, innovative cardio moves, kickboxing, Pilates, and more to burn fat and shed inches fast! (36 minutes)
  • Sculpt Circuit 3–4 Next level for sculpting long, lean muscles! (38 minutes)
  • Sweat Cardio 3–4 Accelerated fat and calorie blasting.
    (42 minutes)
  • Ab Ripper 100 & 200 Get two 6-minute ab routines guaranteed to give you the flat, sexy six-pack abs you’ve always wanted.

The cardio and sweat routines are awesome to do at home.  At the end of the workouts I’m always amazed at how much work I’m able to do in my tiny living room while still getting a big sweat going.  Yoga poses, fast moving feet, jumping jacks and other exercised are a great way to stretch and to get in a good cardio session.  The sculpt videos use weights or resistance bands and man oh man, they are tough!

I just know that if someone is taking Proactol while maintaining a controlled diet and doing these exercises they will lose a ton of weight.  You could lose up to 6 pounds per week when you combine Proactol with an exercise program like Power 90!

Beachbody.com Exercise Videos Reviewed

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!
