Shakeology The Workouts | The 30
Being a Beachbody Coach, I decided to try Shakeology and see what it can do for me, and part of the advantage of signing up for home direct is you get the Shakeology workouts.
There are 2 workouts included which are called “The 30″ and “The 50″. A 30 min and 50 min workout.
They are lead by Tania Ante, who is also in the Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, and Rockin Body DVDs.
Don’t expect to see any fancy set with this. it’s just white …. that’s it, just white and their black workout mats and Shakeology towels.
She leads you through a series of exercises and though she says you’re going to do 3 rounds, it’s not like the other workouts that you repeat the same moves in the second and third rounds.
All the rounds are different, so to me it kind loses the meaning of 3 rounds. Anyhow the workouts themselves aren’t bad.
There’s some cardio, resistance and floor work involved in both workouts, and could be challenging if you haven’t worked out much, but you should be able to keep up with the workouts as you progress.
There is someone who modifies the moves, and the resistance moves she does with bands instead of weights.
The music that plays with it is more just some backround type music so it’s not completely silent, but does nothing for the workout, as you may hear in other workouts.
Basically you workout 3 days a week and once you feel you’re doing well, you progress onto “The 50″.
Getting these workouts with the package is a very good deal, especially if you don’t have other workouts or exercise programs, and having one Shakeology a day while doing these workouts, should get some kind good results.
You could purchase these workouts on their own, but it would be a much better deal to get them and add them to your library of workouts with the Home Direct option as I did, and on the second shipment they also send you a Shakeology Cup to take Shakeology with you. Also you get free shipping by doing the Home Direct.
Well that’s the latest review,
Enjoy your workouts and Keep Up The Good Fight

Power 90 sweat 3-4
Today continuing my Beachbody workouts, I did Power 90 sweat 3-4.
Overall a good workout and a good sweat.
It starts off as many other Tony Horton with warm-ups containing Yoga then onto rounds of exercise. This group of exercises though he does move at faster pace since it is supposed to be a bit more advanced.
It went as some of the other workouts do in rounds of a few exercises at a time, then a 30 second water and towel brake and back to the workout.
After the cool down it went into a group of ab exercises totaling 200 crunches in various configurations.
Though it was a 45 min workout it did seem to pass rather quick.
Overall I give it a thumbs up rating 
Till the next review

Beginning the BEACHBODY Journey
Hello all and welcome to my weight loss journey. I’ve seemed to have finally got on track with my eating and have as of today have lost 25 lbs, and still need to keep the numbers decreasing.
I’ve decided to vary my workouts and besides the workouts I currently do, I’ve decided to start working with the BEACHBODY workouts to keep me going with my weight loss, and become a Beachbody coach to keep myself accountable to continue eating correctly to get healthy and fit.
There are a wide variety of workouts to choose from depending on your personal preference but each strive for the same goal. They all help you achieve you fitness goals but in different ways.
Most of the new ones tend to want you to do all sorts of measurements and tests before you start the program which for me is a bit cumbersome. Although I understand the reasoning behind the pretests, I chose to start with the Turbo-Jam workout because all of that is not required. I’ve had previous experience with these type workouts from being involved in martial arts for many years so the moves aren’t that “foreign” to me.
I just finished my first workout today and the program started with showing the moves that will be in the workout. It helps to have an idea of what to expect and how to do them correctly. The workout itself gives you a good sweat and heart rate. The moves for me were not difficult-they just took a little while to learn.
If you like cardio workouts this may be a workout to consider adding to your library.
