Beachbody

Ok, dangerously close to caving for Power 90 and Power Half Hour series. I spend more time reading about workouts now than actually doing any of them! LOL!! Couple of questions:

1) Is there any way to order these from somebody else other than Beachbody? We all know their reputation in the customer service arena.

2) If not, why is it that on their site I can only select the "trial" offers? I don't want all that confusion, I just want to pay outright for all of it ONCE. I am too afraid to do it any other way!!!


I want all the groovy stuff that comes with the tapes..you know, all the motivational stuff that you oftentimes end up not using and end up mad at yourself for buying. But, for the right price I would settle without that stuff. Any recommendations? Thanks, all.

Not sure about their offers currently but I can tell you that they usually offer other deals, packages, services, etc. on their phone line than on their site. I called once about shipping b/c I mistakenly ordered express (thinking it was $14, not $14 ADDITIONAL) and wanted to cancel. Then they gave me a third shipping option that was something like 2 day air but not nearly as expensive as the $14 additional. I'd give them a call just to see what they say.

I have not seen Power 90 but I know that when I ordered PHH, I returned it b/c I felt like itw as way too "easy" for me. I hate using that word b/c I know that you can vamp anything up with heavier weights, etc., but I felt like I'd be better off with something more difficult. I ended up ordering p90x and am very happy with it! Just make sure you have the right workouts for your level of fitness.

Hey thanks Timber. I know what you mean by "your level of fitness". I have fallen out of what I consider elite fitness, so I guess I sorta consider myself at the Power 90 level now. But, I know P90X can be modified and I have that already. It just kicks my butt too hard currently. And, I have that URGE that you get when you just need SOMETHNG to motivate you. I know I will take one flip thru the nutrition "fast start" program and think "Blah, blah, blah..same ol' same ol'", but hey, gotta indulge in someting right?


But then I watched Suze Orman tonite and realized I should not spend money on something I do not need. And I guess I don't NEED Power 90 or PHH. Or do I?


No, really, if anyone else has experience with BB, I'd still love to hear it. Thanks!

Well, maybe you can just throw together a new rotation or find a motivating one on Cathe's (or another) site. Maybe even consider teaming up w/someone to do a new rotation. I know that a while back I was itching to buy P90X (to motivate with something new). Instead, I did a Cathe rotation from a while back and put P90X on my Christmas list. The rotation threw my right back into my workouts (I did it with a friend) and I got P90X for Christmas!

Yeah, well, I thought the HC's would motivate me but I really did not care for them. (gasp!). Music isn't for me. But, on the upside, I really have been enjoying trail running lately with the gorgeous weather so maybe I will just focus on that for my cardio for now and throw in P90X for 30 min each time, like 30 min. Chest and Back, 30 min. Legs/Back, and 30 min. Bi, tri, back? However it goes...I am going to look thru all my P90X stuff and see if I can "remotivate" myself.

Thanks Timber!
