Beachbody Workouts for Beginners

As promised, here is a list of workouts designed to work well with those just starting an exercise program. My personal favorite trainer out of all of them is Shaun T, although I've never tried Rockin' Body, just Insanity. He is intense but still fun and very encouraging! Tony Horton, the best comedian out of the bunch, trainer for Power 90 would be great if you hope to work up to doing an intense program like P90x. He says he tries to "buffer" intense exercise with humor so that it doesn't seem so bad; I would have to agree it is a plan that works, lol! Turbo Jam would be a good start if you'd eventually like to do TurboFire, an awesome High Intensity Interval Training workout (I'll post more about this on a different day) and you like kickboxing and choreographed dance moves.

I've had good friends speak highly of Slim in 6 as well as Body Gospel; both are known to be very motivating, yet effective and they all met their goals and saw results.

Even for those that have NEVER exercised before, all these trainers have a modification in case you cannot complete the move as originally demonstrated. As always, feel free to email us at adorned_with_grace@yahoo.com for other questions you'd prefer to share privately. :)
