Why do I avoid doing workouts through fitness DVD’s? Because the answer is really quite simple. It’s all pretty silly and lame. I don’t see how people can stand in front of a TV and follow the workouts by someone teaching you things. Plus, I don’t really care for these professional hollywood like fitness DVD’s with really good picture, boring music, and the coaches training the “actors” working out. I’m sorry but anybody that buys these things ’cause they’ve seen the advertisements on TV and on the internet, if they actually believe these workout programs work is a stupid idiot, in my opinion. I don’t put my money toward this stuff for a very good reason.

I mean, why would you want to go through your fitness life, living on these discs in your home? Wouldn’t it be more special to learn fitness your own way and be self taught? That’s where I come from. I want to do things my own way and my own style. I don’t need Tony Horton or Jillian Michaels telling me how to do things. I don’t need to work with famous fitness trainers who are not actually in front of you in person, yet, they are teaching you on the TV instead. See how silly that sounds? I would rather have real coaches. Fitness people with a lot of experience who are local tell me what to do. If I want to learn something new, I go to the gym owner in Greenwich, he’ll train me new workouts when asked.

Why do people go through nationally fitness lessons with Tony Horton, Jillian Michaels or Gunnar Peterson? It’s because people want to get that perfect hollywood body that they will never have. People think they will get that look if they get “10 Minute Trainer” or Pp90x”. A fantasy world, type of thing. Why support national fitness celebrity trainers, when you should be supporting local trainers? There are plenty of personal trainers around upstate NY that will be willing to help you lose weight and build muscle.

Also, there is a difference between being a BeachBody coach and personal trainer, both are totally different. In my opinion, don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t think the BeachBody Coach thing is real. You don’t actually become a real coach, it’s just an online fantasy thing, that’s the way I look at it. If I wanted to help people get fit and muscular, I would rather become a certified personal trainer instead.

Like I said in a post before, I learned fitness & bodybuilding through books, the internet (there’s a lot of free fitness websites on here), and I learned by watching other people in the gym. Sometimes people even teach me things. This is why I never go through those DVD sets that you see off advertisements. I can’t believe that people actually go through this shit. You don’t need to. I’m obviously no fan of TeamBeachBody. I even like to give people fitness tips & advice, but I just do it for fun, I don’t really plan to do it for money.

I’ll continue this topic tomorrow…

Ok,  here we go, after doing a little research on the pricing of BeachBody and P90x. Here is the info:

Both Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer and the P90x, cost $39.95. Subtotal is $79.90, yes, there is shipping&handling too, folks, that costs, $29.90. So that rings up a total of $109.80.

And I’ve also looked up that getting started into this TeamBeachBody coaching thing, costs another $39.99. Once you finish those programs, you’re going to want to get into more that Beach Body owns: Tony  Horton’s “One On One”, “Insanity”, “Body Gospel”, etc. which will all cost more. That’s what they want, that’s all they want to do is take more money off of ya.

Yes, there is “Money Back Gauruntee”, but doing research on that, they keep the Shipping and Handling when they send the refund, which is $29.90. Does that spell another ripoff? There is a big YES, right there. Their Shipping&Handling is way high.

My gym membership is $39 a month and it’s way cheaper than all this.

To get a jacked body: It requires dedication, learning and keeping up the hard work. You don’t need to go through all this. Do exercises in good form, with proper resting and proper eating, you’ll be able to reach your goals. What is proper eating? That means eating healthy most of the time. High protein, low carb diets throughout the day with 5-6 small meals a day. You have to get used to eating the same things all the time and have to get used to eating healthy food that taste like cardboard. I’m also willing to bet that BeachBody doesn’t give you a real meal plan, they want healthy food to taste good when healthy food isn’t supposed to taste good. You have to deal with eating eggs every morning, eat chicken breasts, fish, fruits, vegetables, etc. Getting six pack abs and lowering bodyfat is made in the kitchen, not in the gym. You have to eat to lose the fat. Doing lots of cardio and too much ab workouts is the same as overtraining.

This guy, has a lot to learn.

This blogger, tries to defend the TeamBeachBody company and fails miserably at it, in my opinion. A little later today, I’m going write a more detailed post, on how TeamBeachBody is a waste of money. It’s all a scam and they are doing nothing but ripping people off. If you look online, there are other customers that don’t go through TeamBeachBody anymore, and complained about bad experiences with them. This guy does a terrible job at defending BeachBody ’cause all he seems to be doing is trying to get me to get into it like he already did in facebook a few times before. Talking me into get into P90x or other BeachBody instructional material and trying to get me to like it, like a salesman. These are the kind of stuff I would not be involved in. Promoting these instructional lessons which I refuse to get into.

Like I said, I have successfully got a ripped body on my own, without having to pay much. This guy’s got it all wrong about the pricing for BeachBody instructional material, it actually cost way more than a cheap gym membership. I can prove it too.

Look at this, does it look like I got this look through TeamBeachBody instructional stuff? New progress pic, just took it today.

NO! I didn’t get that look above through any fitness company at all. I got it done all by myself. No personal trainers, no instructors. No friggin packets you get in the mail. That picture above was all ME! I DID IT!

My pecs are getting a little better by training them only a strict one day a week, doing just a few exercises for the chest. BeachBody or Boflex didn’t give me that look.

I didn’t do it through 10 minute – One on one bullshit. Train 1 body part a week is all you need for 3 sets, 10-12 reps each. I don’t workout too much ’cause you don’t want to do too much. TeamBeachBody just overtrains you.

More on this later.
