Beachbody Vegan

Comment by Deanne Mulvehill on October 11, 2011 at 1:16pm

I love Beachbody workouts!  I have the early ones like the Great Body Gauranteed, in fact ..Thin Thighs in 30 days was the first real rotation I ever did!  I have the Power Half Hour, Slim Series and Slim Series Express.  I have Power 90 and Yoga Booty Ballet but I never clicked with those two.  I have Rev Abs, Turbo Jam, Insanity, and Brazil Butt Lift that I have done in short rotations, and I often use them as add on to other workouts. The Insanity warm-up is one of my favorites, so I use that as a warm-up for most things.  I do have P90X but I am afraid of it, and never have really tried other than a workout or two.  I am not exclusive to Beachbody though.  I have been an at home exerciser for about 11 years and have over 200 video workouts!  I have exercise ADD so I need lots of variety!  I am currently doing the Tracy Anderson Hipcentic metamorphosis, but I hate her dance cardio so I am subbing in Turbo Jam.  It has been fun doing Turbo Jam again after so many years of storage.  What are you currently doing?

You may have more beachbody workouts than me, and I'm a beachbody coach! lol.  Don't be afraid of P90X--that was my first beachbody workout and I LOVE it! 

Currently I'm doing a mix between Chalene Extreme, Brazilian Butt Lift, Body Gospel at my church every week, and I like to do some yoga too.  Sometimes i'll mix in some turbo fire or P90X, just depends on my mood =)  I love to mix things up too! I've done Rev Abs, Insanity and turbo jam too! What brings you to the vega community?

You know, that is a good question!  I am not vegan but from the moment I saw the ad in Oxygen magazine for the products, I was intrigued.  I have always used supplements and workout products.  I had been taking a pre-workout supplement that got me going at 4:30 in the morning, but I knew it was chocked full of chemicals and caffeine and I really wanted a more natural alternative.  The Vega Sport is perfect for me... just the right lift and I love the taste.  That is half of the battle, isn't it!  I just was cruising the website and I saw the Beachbody group and was thrilled to see that someone had a whole bunch of workouts too!  I am glad to see that you mix them up so much.  I belong to a video fitness forum, and so many ladies do long complicated rotation... and I just fly by the seat of my pants!  I can talk fitness all day, so I am looking forward to the forum!

4:30--that is dedication!!! I was the same way--downing whey protein supplements thinking that was healthy--there are all kinds of artificial sweeteners and crap in there, and i finally realized that and other dairy was why i felt so bloated all the time…so i tried going vegan (except for shakeology) and found that was the perfect diet for me! i lost 8 lbs in a month, without really trying, just eating whole, plant based foods.  i haven't tried vega sport yet, i've been using shakeology as my post workout drink and love that, but i have been using the vega bars--those things are so tasty! lol i can talk about fitness all day too…love it!! just did chalene extreme this morning and feeling great =) want to be friends on fb?  you can find me here: http://facebook.com/rachelngom

I am such a nerd!  I do not Facebook...  and I don't text either!  I know, I know behind the curve all the time!  Hopefully we can keep in touch here.  Is there a better method than this?  I just joined, so I am not sure of the protocol.

Hi!! I'm super pumped to find this group!! I haven't tried many vega products but they seem to go perfectly with me! I'm a beach body coach too and can't wait for p90x2 to come out this winter.  I have been running all summer and haven't been lifting weights so I miss my muscles! Excited for some TurboFire this afternoon at work- sometimes a little fire 30 just makes your day, right??

Welcome Terry!  It's great to have you here! I am also super pumped for P90X2--and a little nervous! It's gonna kick my butt =) TurboFire rocks--always puts me in a great mood!

I am even more afraid of P90X2 after looking at the clips on You Tube!  I saw on my fitness forum that Beachbody is coming out with a Body Pump.  Now that looks like fun!  I took a couple classes on vacation once and it was a blast.  Do you know anything on that?!  Today was my rest day and it felt good.  My back is tender sore from my Turbo Jam re-entry!  God I hate getting old!  I need an oil can now.  How goes it for you?

P90X2 looks TOUGH!!!! I'm excited though =) I've never done body pump workouts but I hear they are fantastic! Lots of new things coming into beachbody--they are releasing a VEGAN shakeology in January, sooooooo excited for that!! Make sure you get a good stretch in--and really focus on your nutrition for optimum recovery =) Yesterday I had surgery on my wrist so I've been taking it easy.  Tonight is fit club (that I lead) at my church, so I'm bringing KenpoX to them to do, and I am bringing Brazilian Butt Lift for me to do in the back =)
