I started with p90x3 and i lost 16 pounds in two weeks but i could not get big muscles . By the time i was done with 90 days program i was ripped but i was not that strong as I though I would be . Then i tried insanity and i just got leaner lol . Now i`m doing BB and i put on like 10 pounds of lean muscles and i got stronger but i have to watch my diet and for cardio i climb the 1000 stairs for like 30 min 3 days a week . If you can do both workouts together that would give you exactly what you want Justice but its kind of hard to do all that .

There is a workout Tract they call Lean Beast which is for "Build Muscle and Lose a Little Fat". I didn't take that branch so cannot comment on actual results. I have increase daily calories slightly over the 8 weeks so far but managed to keep my weight constant. But from what I have seen from Insanity that looks to be the Premier Program for losing weight and getting ripped if you can handle the tempo.

Possibly it all depends BB is a lot of weight lifting so if you want to get leaner and still do body beast do lean beast first and use lighter weights: i'm talking 2, 5, 10, 15, and possibly 20. If you want leaner. But again it takes a lot to do two programs at the same time.

Well I suppose you could....but BB is really for building muscle. If your goal is to lose weight, I don't think this is really what you would want to do since you will have to increase calories/protein to build muscle....which is why some experts say you can't lose weight and build muscle at the same time. I'm not 100% convinced of that, but certainly nutrition is the KEY component. If you want to firm up, BB might be your best bet, but if you want to lose weight I would stick to Insanity. Doing both would be a lot for your body to handle and probably ramp up your appetite so much that it wouldn't do you much good. JMO Well I suppose you could....but BB is really for building muscle.

I think its up to you. The weight was coming off and I wasn't working out. But to stay toned I would recommend a work out of some sort.

I am not familiar w/ ballet physique, but I started w/ Physique 57 as a non-exerciser. I started w/ 5 & 2# weights and have slowly built up to 12 & 5 #. I also am VERY uncoordinated, but am able to follow this. I do these videos 3x/week (and elyptical on the rest if the days). I have the best arms & abs I've ever had in my life. (I am a 43.5 yr old mom of 4!)You will see results w/ in 3 months. I have been doing these for over 3 years, because I don't ever want to go back!!Hope you love it as much as I!!

This would be a great workout for you because it is low-impact. A lot of the moves can be modified for your fitness level. Also this would be great for you to measure your improvement in your workouts (stamina, endurance, strength, flexibility and etc.). You will get a nice balance between cardio and strength training. Best of luck and Happy New Year!

This is a fun but challenging workout. It is great for people who need a quick, effective workout. If you are in decent shape you should be able to do this workout...

Glennis C. This product would provide what you want but I would recommend increasing protein intake with your diet too. One serving of this product is over half of your daily calorie intake. Now we are just talking about weight gain not mass/muscle if you aren't able to workout. Hope it works for you. JS

It's not just cardio. I was really out of shape when I started, and have gained balance, flexibility, range of motion, and lost inches especially from the toning video. It does not use weights, their "toning sticks'' are one pound, the heavy ones are two and a half. If you are looking to just tone, you probably will need a program that focuses on that. These are dance workouts which mainly work on your core, and gives a broad spectrum of good results.

I have done both programs for years, so I can tell you HHA is nowhere near as intense as Insanity. But it sounds like that's what you need, as all those intense Insanity plyo moves play hell with your joints. You still get a great workout with HHA. Lots of cardio, and Tania is always on Shaun's left side to show you how to modify the moves to take out the high impact. You've probably made your decision on whether or not to purchase this program by now, but you might want to check out the Beachbody website. If HHA doesn't work for you, there are several other cardio-heavy programs from various instructors that may interest you. Good luck!

Hi Bernice,I would say that you don't HAVE to do the original Insanity before diving into Asylum. What you need, though, is a solid cardio base and established core and upper body strength. You need to be used to doing plank work--a lot of it--because you'll be doing moving pushups, moving planks, plyometric planks, plank runs, etc. I'm not familiar with the T25 and P90x3 routines, but if they give you a good aerobic foundation and appropriate strengthening, you should be fine to start Asylum. Good luck!

I've used turbo Jam before, but no other programs. new to fitness myself. they clearly tell you to eat better when you do this. a diet diary is a effective tool to help. As for Turbo Fire. I am seeing results in the first 3 weeks of doing it, but i am also doing the diet diary and the food watching. Which by doing that it helps you with the program. you can't sit and eat potatoe chip and pork rinds and hope this program will work. Its a change in ways. But I'd recommend it if you are willing to put the work into it---DO IT :)

If it came with calendar, I ignored it. I just progressed straight through the workouts. Compared to Insanity it is far few jumps, or jump squats. Don't get me wrong, you will be jumping with Ruthless, just not as much. It was said in a previous review, but one of my bigger issues is not remembering what a workout is after doing it. The names are a little screwy. I miss using weights, so I just do a Tony Horton Fitness on You tube to incorporate weights.

Anyone can do this. It takes time to learn the moves and keep up with the DVD at first. I actually bought this for my daughter, but I am also full figured and can do it. You have to want to do it and not overdo it. Mind over matter. Hope this helps.

I would recommend the usage of Dumbbells if you'd rather build muscle than stay lean. I prefer bands for the latter. You need a matt to perform abs, an agility ladder, a pull-up bar, and a jumping rope.

There is a low impact modification for people with bad knees, back, ankles, etc. My wife could not do Insanity because of the high impact, but she has finished Alpha and Beta rounds of T25 with amazing results doing all low impact modification. What's the best is we can do it together for motivation. I do the regular workout and she follows Tanya, the low impact modifier person. I highly recommend this workout to anyone. In fact, we saw such dramatic results, we are now doing the Gamma cycle.

Hello. I am looking to gain some serious muscle and weight. I am 5'11" 160lbs. I am wanting to be around 200lbs within a reachable time frame. I know it doesn't happen over night. I was thinking the Bowflex Motivator would be a good choice. What do you think Lynne? Any advice on what foods to eat or supplements to further speed the process up? ThanksAaron

This workout will definitely lift and tone what God gave you. There really is not enough cardio to reduce. It will appear that your bum is reduced though when it is toned. I hope this helps. I am doing turbo fire from beachbody. It is tough and works thighs and butt with high cardio for fat reduction as well. A much better all around workout and so much more fun.

It's a full body work out. Burpies, Plank mountain climbers, speed skaters. After a workout I feel my legs very tired. If you have done insanity then you would want to do 2 20 minute workouts
