BODi by Beachbody 4+

I’ve been a Bodi fan for years. I saw an infomercial for a new workout called P90X and thought it would be good idea for an ex-military man. We were both out of shape and wanted to change things. He decided to get a gym membership and never used the DVD’s lol.

I tried the gym but was embarrassed when I couldn’t fit a towel around my body, so I started using the program and saw drastic changes. When I first started, I was smoking a pack a day and had been unable to even go on certain rides at the amusement park because I couldn’t fit. I lost so much weight and got healthier, quit smoking etc. I remember my brother saying he could finally put his arms all the way around me. Since then I’ve stuck with Bodi and have had success with p90x3, insanity, PiYo and more. As I’ve gone through ups and downs, I’ve always been able to rely on Bodi to give me a full program that makes it easy. The nutrition and workouts are planned; just follow them.

Recently, I gained 40lbs in the pandemic and also had surgery to repair my torn ACL and meniscus last year. Trying to fight being depressed at my extremely slow recovery and 40lb weight gain. I decided to go back to basics. I signed up for Bodi and am so happy I did. I’m currently doing the morning meltdown 100 and 2B Mindset nutrition plan. I signed up January 1, 2024 and am already down 6 lbs. I’m so thankful for Bodi.

I have subscribed to BOD for over six years and I am enjoying having access to all of the workouts and the portability of being able to workout when I travel. The app is laid out well and it is easy to use. Having access to all historical BB workouts is great and allows you to mix and match or just try something to see if you even like it before committing to the entire workout A few items to get it to 5 stars: 1-while there workout tracker rather than having to print out paper versions of the trackers the old p90x app allowed you to track your weights and reps in the app so would like to see that feature added. 2-don’t make the app subscribers wait months for new content as we are paying the annual fee so release it to the app at the same time. I get you want to maximize profits to get people to buy new content but give loyal subscribers access. Maybe if you have been a BOD member for 3 years or something you get preferred early access to new content I have not tried any of the live stuff yet. I just did 645 and enjoyed this as a good mix of weights, cardio and stretching. Not a high calorie burn so just a heads up on this. Joel’s Liift 4 and mbfa are still favorites as is 22 min hard corps for a quick workout with high burn. The new 645 platform works a whole bunch of different body parts for functional fitness so it is helping me since I am in the over 50 category and trying to stay stretched out.

I am one of those people who do not like working out, but I do to maintain my physique and for health reasons. However, I still don't like to. Cardio is the worst and lifting is hard because I tend to hurt myself somehow or the gym is too crowded. My dog is so attached to me so I felt like I abandoned my baby when I go to the gym after work. So I signed up for Bodi several months ago. I completed a few programs and they were alright. I did them but they really didn't do much for me.

However about 8 weeks ago, I decided to start the Lift4 program. I was a bit nervous about it because I was afraid it was too hard for me. But after Week 1, I was hooked. The trainer, Joel, is amazing. He's funny and of course very good looking, to say the least. Besides his personality, the program is wonderful! His workouts are laid out 4 days a week with variable exercises, break day in btwn, and you do not have to look on a calendar to repeat a certain workouts on certain days. He gives you 8 weeks, 4 days a week, 30-40 min exercises. I lost only a little bit of weight, but the change in my physique is noticeable. I completed my 8 weeks, but I'm going to repeat and will work to build up on my weights. I feel strong and I feel great. Check this program out.
