Most everyone, even those who aren't fitness enthusiasts, have probably heard of Beachbody. If you think you haven't, I have one word for you. Infomercial.
You know how it goes, you find yourself unable to sleep at night, so you get up, and turn on the TV. The problem is, for the most part, the only thing on during the wee hours are infomercials. So you start watching, maybe one, then two or three. Well, if you have seen any fitness infomercials, you have most likely seen one from Beachbody. Just to throw out a few: P90X, Insanity, Chalean Extreme, Slim in 6. And, yes, before you ask, I own each of these.
I know most of the stuff advertised on infomercials is perceived as garbage or ridiculous claims are made that sound too good to be true, and usually are. But truth be told, Beachbody produces some of the best exercise videos on the market - and no - unfortunately, I am not getting paid to say that. I am a self-admitted infomercial junkie. Lucky for me, these programs work.
Currently, I am making my way through a P90X rotation. P90X is a comprehensive program of 12 DVDs comprised of cardio, strength and flexibility led by Tony Horton. Many celebrities are touting the brilliance of P90X, celebrities including Sheryl Crow, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Pink, Erin Andrews and many more. If these celebrities, who can afford to spend enormous amounts of money on personal trainers, nutritionists and personal chefs, are raving about P90X, then you know it has to be good. Stay tuned for updates on my progress, and should I be brave enough, maybe I will add some before and after photos at the end of my rotation.
