Body Beast Workout

Are you tired of being sold the same workout routines that are marketed to pregnant mothers? Of course it’s great that people of all ages and in all situations are trying to get fit, but it wouldn’t be crazy if their goals were different from yours, would it?

Enter The Body Beast Workout . . .

Stop thinking about complicated muscle confusion strategies, max interval training, balance, agility, and coordination. Sometimes the goal is simple:
I JUST WANT TO GET HUGE!!!

You’re not alone. The Body Best Workout is here for you, so grab your purple HULK shorts and get ready to release the beast.

What is the Body Beast Workout?

The Body Beast Workout is the product of Sagi Kalev, a former Israeli soldier and two-time “Mr. Israel” champion bodybuilder. Sagi designed this program using the principle of “Dynamic Set Training”. Utilizing “Single Sets, Super Set, Giant Sets, Progressive Sets, Drop Sets, Tempo Sets, and more”, every part of this program is designed with one goal in mind: GET HUGE. In just 90 days you’ll be able to pack on 10 pounds of pure muscle, while cutting fat to make those muscles that much more impressive.

As you probably know, you can’t build the physique you want on top of fat, so the Body Beast Workout is broken into two training schedules.

The Lean Beast

This 12-week schedule includes a bigger focus on cardio to get rid of the fat covering your newly bulking body. If you’re pumped about the goals of Body Beast, you might be disappointed to see cardio included here, but let’s face it, if you’re going to work out with the kind of intensity required by Body Beast, the last thing you want is a shredded body with a layer of fat on top of it. Suck it up and know that every pound of fat you lose brings your new muscly friends that much closer to the surface where they can do their best work for your ego and the general sense of awe that will follow you around afterwards.

The Huge Beast

If you’re already lean or you’ve just finished the Lean Beast, you’re now ready for the real Body Beast Workout: The HUGE Beast. I love that there’s no beating around the bush here. You want to get huge; the Huge Beast will get you there.

Who is the Body Beast Workout For?

The Body Beast Workout is for anyone who wants to get HUGE. If you’re passionate about becoming a bodybuilder or just want to walk along the beach and have people drool, look no further. This system is not for people looking for improved endurance, cardio, or mobility. Other products like P90X2  exist for that.

The Body Beast Workout has one simple goal – get BIG.

Women – you’ve been told that it’s almost impossible for you to get big, and of course it IS difficult, so most fitness resources tell you you’re silly for even thinking about it. Not the Body Beast Workout. Using this program will transform you into the muscle-bound SHE-HULK you always wanted to be.

What Equipment Do I Need for Body Beast?

Traditionally the only way to get big the way the Body Beast Workout will get you big was to join a gym. Only a gym has the specialized equipment needed to target the right muscles and provide the large variety of weights you’ll need.

One of the strongest selling features of the Body Beast Workout is the minimal amount of equipment you’ll need. No expensive machines or single-use pieces of equipment are needed. That said, if you want to get huge you’re going to have to lift heavy weights, so some initial investment will of course be required.

Dumbbells – With the Body Beast Workout the goal is not a huge number of reps but rather hitting your max reps quickly. The best equipment is probably a set of adjustable dumbbells whose maximum weight is such that 6-8 reps would be your max. Alternatively use the same weight plates you’ll need for the curl bar (see below) and just get the dumbbell cross-bar.

Bench – If you watch the videos you’ll see that several exercises involve an adjustable bench, so having one is probably a good idea. I bought a used one for about $40, which is not a huge investment at all.

Curl Bar/Weight Plates – Again from watching the videos you’ll see several exercises using a curl bar with different weights.

That’s it! A basic weight set that you can probably get for under $150 used and you’re good to go.

What About Nutrition?

If you’re going to bulk up like the HULK you’re going to have to eat like the HULK. Fortunately Sagi is an expert when it comes to the nutrition required to deliver the results you’re looking for. According to the Beachbody site, you’ll need to consume between 1,800 and 5,000 calories per day. The breakdown of these meals depends on which of the three phases of training you’re on, the BUILD, BULK, or BEAST.

Eating this much won’t seem natural at first, but luckily the nutrition instructions include information on how to use Shakes and Supplements to ensure you’re getting exactly what you need without blowing apart your intestinal system from eating three times as much food as you’re used to.

You can learn more about these on the supplements page

How Do I Buy The Body Beast Workout?

The Body Beast Workout is an incredible value for what you’re getting: 7 DVDs containing 12 full workouts, plus “Book of Beast”, which has training tips and your full 3-phase eating plan.

Where Can I Buy Shakeology

Of course every health drink/shake/supplement claims to be the only one you’ll ever need and the best thing since sun and water, so what sets Shakeology apart? And where can I buy Shakeology?

If you’re simply thinking, “Where Can I Buy Shakeology” and you’re already a believer, then I’ve got you covered! :-) You can order Shakeology directly from the source here – click here now to order Shakeology.

Otherwise keep on reading to learn more about this stuff…

What the heck is Shakeology?

Shakeology’s primary focus is on three things: Nutrients, Nutrients, and Nutrients. When I want something natural, I eat something natural. My entire food buying philosophy is ‘buy things that are only one thing’. If I want the health benefits of quinoa, I buy quinoa. If I want potassium, I eat a banana. I don’t look for pre-packaged reheatable meals that happen to have some quinoa in them.

But let’s face it – your body requires a LOT of variety to get all of the nutrients it needs. Sourcing all of these things is damn near impossible, and who wants to walk around burdened by the guilt of doing your body the disservice of having not found any Sacha Inchi at the grocery store?

So when I heard about Shakeology, who’s ingredients were made up of all the things I wanted to be eating, I had to explore further. As an example, I took a look at the ingredient list for the chocolate shake.

Check out just some of the ingredients: Sacha Inchi, Sprouted Flax, Sprouted Chia, Quinoa, Acerola Cherry, Goji berry, Acai berry, Rose Hips, Maca root, Maitake mushroom, Reishi mushroom, Ginkgo, Spirulina, Chlorella, Wheat grass, Yacon root, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Protease, Lipase, and tons more.

Wow. Shakeology really has combined the most nutrient-rich foods into a single meal. Imagine going shopping with this as your list – your family would have filed a missing person’s report before you got back.

I’m a fan of the chocolate flavor because it has more protein than the greenberry shake. The protein in Shakeology shakes are Whey-based and certified free of antibiotics. Whey protein is great because it gets absorbed very quickly into your body and helps repair muscles after a tough workout.

Is Shakeology For You?

While Shakeology is sold through the same company that sells high intensity workout packages, that doesn’t mean you have to be a fitness fanatic to enjoy the benefits of these meal replacements. Think about every time you’ve been too busy at work, too busy running around on weekends, or any other time you just had to grab a quick bite to eat. Think about the nutritional value of that meal. It was probably full of grease, 80% carbs, and other than keeping you full until a real meal, didn’t do much for your overall health.

Imagine having a shake that’s faster to mix together than placing your order at a fast-food chain. With these health benefits and speed, the only reason you would say no would be cost.

But Doesn’t Shakeology Cost a Fortune?

Some people point out that Shakeology isn’t cheap. There are a few ways to cut the cost down, but even with a one-off purchase, you’re looking at about $4 per serving. That’s $4 for a meal replacement or extremely healthy snack.

My favorite on the go cheap snack is some trail mix. For $2-$3 I get a ton of protein and fat and stay full for a couple hours. With a Shakeology shake and an extra $1, I not only tie myself over until my next meal, but I get the incredible nutrient blast that goes with it. Hard to argue about the price there.

There’s actually a second reason you might not want to drink Shakeology shakes. It, like any other supplement, is still that, a supplement. When I mentioned my food buying philosophy, I have a similar way of thinking when it comes to actually eating the food. I HATE thinking about having to combine foods. Sometimes I just want some beans, and don’t want to have to think about needing rice to complete the proteins.

If you are of a similar mind or are already taking other supplements, make sure you take a look at the Shakeology FAQ here.

Personally, having to worry about the timing of drinking this stuff (see “Can I drink this right before a workout? Right after a workout?”), worrying about giving it to kids or pregnant/nursing women, people with gluten allergies, etc. etc. etc. is a huge red flag.

Obviously everyone has to understand their body and what works and what doesn’t work with it, and it would be unrealistic to expect them to make something that was perfect for everyone.

Even with the legal-speak warnings, and with a healthy bit of skepticism, it really does seem that Shakeology has produced an extremely nutrient-rich supplement shake that will provide health benefits to almost everyone.

First, take a look at their ‘Bottom-of-the-Bag’ Guarantee. From the site:

If you don’t feel healthier, more energized, and simply amazing, you won’t pay. You can return Shakeology for any reason and get your money back (less s&h)—even if the bag is empty!

It’s great to know they’ve got your back if you find you don’t like the flavor, something disagrees with you, or you just aren’t seeing value from it.

You have a few options to purchase Shakeology:

Serving Sizes:

• 1) 30 Servings (bulk) in a bag – if you place a one-time order you’ll pay for shipping (fair one). If you choose monthly autoship the shipping is FREE.
• 2) 24 Individual Packets in a box – easier to eat on the go, you lose 6 servings but gain the ease of transport. Same deal with the free shipping with autoship.

Flavors: Chocolate and Greenberry, as well as Tropical Strawberry for an extra $10.

The best way to try it out is by ordering the bulk bag of chocolate. It tastes great, has more protein, and you get 6 more servings than the individual packets. Also make sure to select the Autoship option. You’ll save a bunch on the shipping, and if you decide you don’t want to continue, just give them a quick call or send an email and they’ll cancel it before the second month. Don’t worry, this isn’t like a gym membership – you say cancel, they’ll cancel it with no fuss.

With P90X2 everything gets ramped up to a crazy degree, and a crazier workout demands a more intense attention to recovery. The folks at Beachbody really want to emphasize the improved lifestyle that results from their programs and ensuring a quick recovery and preventing injury is a much bigger part of this new system than before.

In P90X we had the X Stretch module, a great way to loosen up and keep your body from forcing you to hobble around for days after your workout. With P90X a simple stretch routine wasn’t enough to compensate for the incredible workouts you’ll be putting yourself through.

Enter the “Rumble Roller“…

So What The Heck Is A Rumble Roller?

If you think the name is strange, wait until you actually see the thing. You’ve probably seen those foam tubes at a gym or at a physical therapists office that look a lot like those water noodles kids hit each other with in their pools.

Designed to aid with Myofascial Release, many people complain that, while somewhat effective, they just don’t get as deep as they should to push past muscle fascia to massage and break up the knots that form in your muscles from the intense workouts you’re doing.

The Rumble Roller is the answer to this problem. Hard bumps running up and down work to dig into all the little points you didn’t know you had and really aid in recovery and preventing injury. It looks like a foam tube that hit the gym, took some steroids, joined a motorcycle gang, and beat up some kid who was happily playing with his water noodle in the pool.

Rumble Roller

P90X2 embraces the Rumble Roller wholeheartedly, and you’ll be using it at least twice a week as part of your recovery and mobility workouts. The roller is firmly embedded in the course structure of the series, and you’ll be really missing out on the recovery if you don’t have one.

Is The Rumble Roller Really Worth The Cost?

While some people express concern at the added cost, a quick look at the benefits should be enough to convince you that this isn’t just a workout tool like an extra set of weights or a pull-up bar. This is a massage therapist and physical therapist rolled into one. You will use this thing forever, whether you’re sore because of a workout, a long run, or just from carrying your kid around all day.

One thing to be aware of is if you aren’t used to using the Rumble Roller (or even the smooth ones for that matter), they may be a bit uncomfortable at first. The key is to just roll yourself to the point it starts being uncomfortable and then focus on relaxing and your breathing. You’ll soon feel the knots loosening and then you can start applying more and more pressure as needed.

If you’re someone who’s just getting back into working out, it might be difficult to jump right in to an intense program like P90X2. After breaks from my hard regime I always make the mistake of going too hard on my first day back, and end up sore for about four days afterwards. This is counterproductive because it ruins your momentum.

With the Rumble Roller you’ll wake up the next day feeling amazing and ready to take on day two of your training.

No Pain, No Gain! :-)

For those of you who are fitness fanatics, you might be like me and find Yoga and stretching to just be a bit boring. Well nothing adds excitement to the recovery and flexibility part of your overall fitness like pain! Think of it as exercise for your will and push those bumps in a little harder!

Learning about the Rumble Roller made me realize something important. I tend to put a lot more emphasis on my workout than my recovery, simply because the workout is the hard part. The pushing, the sweating, the pain, the achievements – they’re a high better than any other. Thinking about recovery just seems…boring.

But take a step back and think, not just about working out and sweating, but your whole life. You push yourself like you do because you want to forge a better version of yourself. You want to be stronger and faster than you were yesterday.

The creators of P90X2 understand all of this, but they also know that demanding more requires more focus on recovery and healing so that the benefits of the workout aren’t limited to a checkmark in a calendar. To truly carry that new found strength around in your daily life, recovery must be a big focus.

Thankfully we have the Rumble Roller to dig in and keep us always ready for more. So go ahead and buy your own Rumble Roller now…
