Selecting a workout program..

As far as selecting a workout program.. it really depends on what your fitness goal is. For me, I created a Fitness Program Wish list:

1) I knew I needed to lose weight which meant= majority of the at home program needed to be cardio/ fat burn

2) I wanted something fun that I knew I wouldn't quit after the first day.

3) I typically like programs with female trainers, good music, or that are VERY motivational- another reason to make sure I go back to it on Day 2! :)

4) A program that is versatile with length of time for each workout(some days are crazy, and I only have 20 minutes or even less)! Therefore, I needed something that was good for days when I had enough time to dedicate 1 hour, and good for days when I only had 20 minutes or less! These were all factors I considered when choosing my first program.

I recommend that everyone kind of make a "wish list" almost like you do when you buy a house before you pick a workout program. When I selected my second program, I considered the following:

1) I need to tone/ improve strength

2) I need something that will challenge me, now that my endurance has increased

3) With the last program, there was a 2 minute drill in the middle section of the workout at a high intensity, and I actually like drills and feel that is how I increased some of my endurance levels.

4) I need to continue something with good music/ or a motivational trainer.

Luckily, with pretty much every single Beachbody program, the motivational trainer thing isn't difficult to find. Sean T (Insanity & Rockin' Body), Tony Hortin (P90X), and Chalene Johnson (Turbo Jam & Turbo Fire), are all very motivational. As far as good music,you'll find that more with Sean T, and Chalene Johnson. Once you have made your "wish list" and it reflects what your ultimate goal is, here is a great chart that breaks it down with everything you may have requested from your "wish list". Here is the link to the chart:

I understand how important selecting a good program is, because it is an investment in your time, money, & most importantly health & fitness! Click on the tabs above to view which programs fall into each category. For example: If you are looking for something quick, click on the tab "Express" and each program that is "express" will be listed with a brief description. From there, make a list of a few "potentials", and then read the full descriptions of them under "Fitness Programs"
