Plan on being a life long Rushfit user
929087
Okay, I don't have the patience to actually write a long in depth review of this product as others have done. The reason I looked into this product was from being a fan of GSP, the reason I bought it was because of the review I read on bodybuilding.com that essentially put it dead even with P90X, and because I have a passionate dislike for the P90X trainer (he drives me crazy, too over the top and fake). Erik Owings, the trainer that actually leads you through the workouts is amazing and down to earth, explains things well and motivates me without yelling and taking it over the top. I love the workouts and I really feel like they work every muscle group which is something most individual gym workouts are missing. My brother in law who works out 5 times a week benching and lifting weights got his butt kicked by the dvds he tried because nothing gives you an all around workout like functional fitness training like Rushfit. I've been recommending Rushfit to everyone I know and I've converted two P90X users to Rushfit. I plan on using this workout for the rest of the my life along with regular cardio.

If you use it more consistently your soft hands will develop into manly meat hooks capable of crushing average mortals. I do anywhere from 150 to 750 push ups daily and when I was in Army I could easily exceed a thousand a day. This is the best device I've ever used for push ups; better than perfect push up in all ways except portability. The key to success is I set my phone to alarm every 15 minutes from 730 to 1030 each evening. When it is time just drop and knock out out as many as possible. DONT COUNT! Push as many as possible.  In a month you will be able to do 50 or more perfectly. If you can do 40-50 push-ups you can probably bench your weight at least once which most people cannot do.

The sets are phenomenal and the tool is super sturdy and I find grips comfortable - in fact due to wrist issue I can't do normal hands on floor push ups without big pain, zero when I have a grip like these, which is why I bought perfect push-ups years ago. I saw these and figured for under 50$ I would try. I love this and last few months were great. It allows you to do push ups and target muscle groups you never thought a push up set could ( or muscles you didn't know you had lol!).

These also of double duty as parallette bars to do some very basic core work as the set is sturdy- the manufacturer should demo that ability- it's a real Easter egg with this tool.

If you are starting out do as I suggested- at nights set your phone or a timer to consistently go off every 15 to 20 minutes for at least 6-8 sets. Do as many as possible using good form and if you can't don't be shy to drop to knees, just keep that back straight and try to keep your head up not dangling!  If you are sore skip one day only- after a few nights do daily and each time aim to keep perfect form more than number of push ups.
Add a body vest and do body weight squats and you will have a home gym that's slips under your couch when you aren't using it and can build serious muscle. With the vest you can really challenge yourself on push ups! It will smoke you like a cheap cigar!

I really like my Vivofit. I wear it all the time. I do think the move bar starts too soon. ( Before an hour of inactivity). It does get me motivated though, which is what I need. It's nice looking, light weight & easy to use. I do not have the heart rate monitor. I also use the sleep tracking mode as it gives me an idea of how much restful sleep I get.

I just finished reading 7 Weeks To A Triathlon.  At 41 years old I started reading this with a skeptical attitude that triathlon's were for the extreme work out fanatics I'd see from time to time at the health club.  This type of training wasn't for me.  So, with a somewhat open mind and a few friends whom have completed triathlon's I began my journey into the mysterious world of the ber fit to see how they trained and would be able to complete a triathlon and learn their secrets.

What I was able to learn:
1. This is possible even for a somewhat fit 41 year old like myself whom can't swim, bike or run.
2. The goal is finishing not "winning".
3. I liked the training program and not having to think about what to do next to get in shape for each leg of the triathlon.
4. How to prepare for the race day and what to expect.

As a beginner preparing for my first triathlon I found 7 Weeks an invaluable guide to training and preparing for a triathlon.  It eased my fears and gave me the sense that even at my age and fitness level that in only 7 weeks by following the program I could finish a triathlon and finally be able to talk some fitness trash to my buddies.

A must have for those beginners like myself to get over your training anxieties and give you the courage and belief that you too can complete a triathlon.

This step workout is truly scalable and you won't get bored with the workout. (Well, actually, my wife is looking for a different workout because we've been using this one for about 2 years and she needs something for a change up. I'm still happy though.) I really like the interval training. There are 3 different moves for each intensity training interval so the video grows with your level of fitness (or energy level for the day). Gin's voice, the music, and the moves do not wear on you, which is critical if you plan to workout with tapes. I just won't do Kathy Smith. I find her irritating after a couple of workouts. There is something a bit more hip and palatable about Gin. I also tried Reebok Rhythm and Moves but it's a little too dancy for me and not as scalable.

I think I will eventually love it, but you must work your way up in time increments. I have only used it for like 5 mins at a time. So far I like the results.

This is my second one. Love it! The last one lived a long 4+years so it was time to trade up. Being conscious about your activity will help you to be more active and this certainly does that.

My husband and I are beginning week 7 tomorrow. It has been a lot of work but I am really happy with the results. It's great to track your progress with your max out time. Sometimes I am able to beat my previous max out time by 7-10 minutes and we just did that same video 2 days prior. As with any work out I have tried before I really didn't see the scale move (although I saw body improvement) until week 5 so don't get discouraged. This workout has something for everyone. My husband and I did the old Insanity a few years ago and have stayed active but these videos are so hard that we were still using the modifier track even last week. I'm so grateful for the modifier track!

I started listening to the get fit guys 10 minute podcast while training at the gym. Now I am a specialist personal trainer. Ben's knowledge is amazing he will make you leaner, faster, feel and look younger. If you really want to live a healthy long life buy this book.

I really, really like  my vivofit.  My only problem is that the button to change/the time to steps to check steps, etc. is so hard to push and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I do like it though.

I don't recommend this product if you are already an experienced, athletic person. It's geared more towards beginners and to the moderately trained persons. With that being said, it's not as if someone who does have workout experience couldn't gain from this system as well. I really enjoyed the "Kitchen Makeover" segment she included into the DVDs. Diet is just as important as the workouts themselves and even though a lot of workout programs add diet guides in their packages, none of them are quiet as thorough as this. She takes her time to explain to you why it's necessary to make changes in how you prepare your meals, and she also makes it easy if you have a large family to care for.
Even though the "muscle burns fat" approach is not a new idea, it's probably the most averted one. A lot of people think that it's all about the cardio. When you are a beginner at exercising your body, this system is absolutely perfect. You will gain the muscle necessary to jump-start your metabolism and before you know it your body will transform!
I am a huge fan. I do my own cardio at the gym or outside, mostly because you just don't get the full cardio benefits that your body needs from this system.  If you don't like running outside or hitting the gym, then find something easy that you can do at home.  I'm twenty-two years old and have never had the body that I have now. It's completely changed my entire shape. I haven't bulked up at all, if anything I have shrunk in that my body is much leaner and tighter. I went from over 25% body fat, down to 8%! I went from a flabby 120lbs to a very solid 103lbs. It's all muscle now! I wish I had found this system sooner!
I also recommend that you order from the BeachBody website directly, and that you look into investing in your own set of weights. The program included a resistance band(s), but I personally prefer free-weights. I purchased my own free-weights in various increments, so that I always had options and wasn't stuck with just one or two weight options.

I love the Chad Waterbury way! He has a great workout program that is based on scientific research that produces amazing results. Huge in a Hurry is what will happen!

Five months since I switched to this way of eating. Now, I'm the slimmest I've been since that one year when I was overtraining on the college swim team. (I'm 47 now). Are other folks getting similar results?

It is fab for my vanity. I have also stepped up my jogging speed and distance, and I've also stepped up the weights I lift at the gym. The longevity correlation is very important to me, as I'd like to raise a couple of children soon.

I'm on day 28 out of 30 today, so it's time to write a review.

Overall, I like the product.  It's up to the level of other Beachbody products.  Shawn T is a great motivator, and there are interesting exersizes that you don't get in other workout videos.  As opposed to the other reviewers, I wasn't disapointed with the quality of the pull up bar or ladder.  The only thing to mention about the pull up bar is that it is a little bigger than the one I already had, so if you have a small doorframe like me you may not be able to use it.  I had to use my old one.

I've done P90x, Insanity, and (non-Beachbody product) The Rack programs multiple times.  I almost always struggle after month 2.  Not because I can't finish, but because I get extremely bored.  So going into this I was excited that this was only for 30 days, and then I can switch to another set of workouts again (it's day 28 and I'm ready to move on, btw).

Excluding the "Fit Test," there are 6 workouts that you do 4-5 times each over the course of the 30 days.  In order of level of difficulty, they range from a 25 minute rigorous stretching workout, to a moderate core workout, an agility workout, strength workout, to a super high intense plyo workout.  The last three had me dripping with sweat, the first two I was able to save my workout clothes for the next day.

This is an advanced program like everyone says.  The warmups are harder than Insanity, the stretch portions are shorter, and there are little to no breaks.  I'm at the end of the program and the most noticable difference is my core, shoulders, and chest, and it's only been a month.  The plyo pushups and bear crawls are great fun!

The reason for the 3 stars instead of 5 is because this is the first workout program where I feel I injured myself, but it was probably my fault.  My back has been killing me for the past two weeks and I think I know why.  First I though I was just sore, then I thought it was the back workout video that I tweaked it or something.  But then I figured out it was the "Strength" workout.  In the Strength workout you use a single dumbell to curl and press and jump with.  The first time I did it, I used a light dumbell but didn't feel like I got a good enough workout.  So, being all jazzed about my new program, I heavied up the weight the next time.  DON'T DO THAT.  That day was great, and I felt I got a great workout, but my lower back has killed me ever since.  Jumping and squatting with too heavy of a weight will do that to you I guess.  Again, probably my fault, but I wish Shawn T would have given some sort of disclaimer, because when he's yelling at me to step up the intensity, I just want to grab a bigger weight and make him proud.  I wish he would have said not to go crazy with the weight.

So because I got injured, I never really looked forward to every subsequent exersize and actually dreaded it everyday.  I will eventually come back and do Asylum again, but I won't be getting Vol. 2, and I would rank my enjoyment of this program below regular Insanity, P90x, and The Rack.  However, this is the best one month results I have gotten.

Always hated jogging.

With heart rate meter I started a interval training program  based on time that seems even better as my speed has increased.

Once you get use to what button to push it works well.

Just the right amount of functions with out overwhelming me with needless fluff.

I'd buy another one.

I researched this product in advance...so reviews are helpful!

I made a paper template of my treadmill with the TrekDesk (based on dimensions provided online) so I could consider placement in my home before purchase.  This item is BIG and my house is small so the planning really helped.  I was READY when the product was delivered.

Using a drill (or electric screwdriver) is key to an easier setup.  The directions are good and I did it myself, just take your time and give yourself plenty of room as this product is BIG.

As I found in an existing review - my feet HURT in the first week, REALLY HURT in the second week but don`t give up because by week three my body had adjusted to standing all day at work.  I also added fresh insoles with additional cushion to my shoes in week two, which I think helps.

I started walking twice a day beginning with 15 minute sessions and increased 5 minutes each day.  During my first month I am still getting used to walking and working at the same time so it feels awkward to me at times but I find that once I begin a walk session that I soon find a groove and forget I am walking.  However I do sweat a little even at 1.1 speed so that is also distracting.

I feel that with time and practice the awkward feelings will resolve.  Being overweight and seditary prior to this, I think some sweating for me was to be expected and with increased endurance will hopefully subside.

If I am having a low energy day I still feel good about using the combo as a standing desk, though I do use a chef`s mat for additional comfort when I am not actually walking.

This works for me and I endorse the product.  Best wishes!

Hated wearing watches in the past, now with this baby I cant be without. It keeps me motivated to meet my personal goal of 10,000 steps daily.  Works great if you update it when new updates are available.  Get texts message alerts while working with patients so I know when family is trying to reach me...  Saving up for a black one.
