Anyone here ever done any of the Team Beachbody workouts? Most of the reviews you'll find for them online are from coaches who are in it for the money, and a lot of them have never even actually completed the program. I've had experience with 3 of the workouts, and I don't make money from it. Apart from one time several years ago I've never spent money on it either; not saying that I torrented them but I'm not saying that I bought them either.

A lot of workout places say that they're gimmicky and that you can achieve the same results with any well-structured program. Gimmicky or not, I know they work for me and they provide an easy structure. It's hard to get easier than "Press play, record results".

I have done Insanity; that, to me, is the ultimate cardio workout. I did that program 3 years ago when I lost a ton of weight beforehand, and it helped me lose more weight while somehow building muscle. I don't know all the science behind it, but I was doing bodyfat measurements and I was definitely building muscle while losing fat. I got great results from it and a humongous sense of accomplishment once I finished and saw how much I had progressed in terms of how I looked as well as my physical performance.

I have started P90X like a dozen different times; I have never been able to complete more than 2 weeks just because the workouts are so long; it's brutal and they go on forever. I was going to try and do 4 rounds of it this year, but that ended as soon as my schedule changed at work in February.

I'm started doing P90X3 on Monday. It's still an ass-kicker, but with each workout only 30 minutes long it's much more manageable. I was actually concerned about the time only being 30 minutes, but after only two workouts I can already tell that it's going to be somewhat productive because I'm sweating just like I am with the 60-90 minute workouts and my heartrate gets high. I'm not as sore as I am after a typical P90X or Insanity workout, but I think that has to do both with the shorter timeframe, and also with the fact that I can't go quite as hard as I'm used to because I am extremely out of shape at this point. I plan on doing the X3 workout at least twice.

I'll post my Before/Afters for P90X3 when I'm done with it in 87 days, and maybe my Insanity photos as well. In the meantime, have any of you done a Beachbody workout?
