BeachBody<\/a>, the home specialist fitness company, responsible for high-intensity workout DVDs including Insanity<\/a> and P90<\/a>, as well as Piyo <\/a>(a fusion of pilates and yoga) and Cize<\/a>, are now available direct on laptops and phones with their BeachBody on Demand App. Busy Londoner and mum, Eliza Flynn<\/a> tested it out.<\/h4>\n

One Christmas, a few years ago, my then fianc\u00e9 at the time and I decided to treat ourselves and we bought the Insanity DVDs. He stuck it out for a month before he got injured. I made it through 6 weeks before I ran out of steam. Both of us loved it. We saw results, we felt fitter and the shop downstairs must have lived in fear that one day we\u2019d bring the ceiling down with all the jumping about we were doing. Since then, I\u2019ve been a fan of the BeachBody workouts \u2013 and enjoyed the real life Insanity classes<\/a>, as well as trying out Piyo<\/a>, another of the BeachBody family. Every now and again, when I\u2019m feeling like I need something to get me going, I\u2019ll dig out my Insanity DVDs and enjoy a sweaty 30 minutes with Shaun T and his gang.<\/p>\n

Trying out Beachybody on Demand is like Christmas all over again! Yet, as well as having Shaun T just a couple of taps away on my phone, I\u2019ve also got the likes of Tony Horton and Autumn Calabrese at my fingertips. Tony Horton is known for his P90X workouts and I also got to know him (and kind of hate him too) during my 22 Minute Hard Corps Session.<\/p>\n

The app is really easy to use. After you\u2019ve got your log-in details, you have access to the Member Library Programs and from here you can select your workout, or choose your preferred trainer and off you go!<\/p>\n

As an Insanity fan, I immediately started with what I knew. Insanity on the app feels exactly the same as Insanity the DVDs, with a few exceptions \u2013 there seems to be some Insanity Deluxe workouts which include Insane Abs and Sanity Check. Similarly to the DVD set, there\u2019s a nutrition guide and a calendar which you\u2019re supposed to use to tick off your days, yet it isn\u2019t interactive on the app which is a shame. I did enjoy the recommended Spotify playlist however!<\/p>\n

When I work out at home, I choose programs which don\u2019t require any more equipment than a mat and maybe a few weights. If you look over my \u2018Recently Watched\u2019 list on the app, up comes Insanity, T25, P90 and 22 Minute Hard Corps. I have a particular fondness for 22 Minute Hard Corps \u2013 the title ALWAYS makes me chuckle, although it\u2019s classed as a Beginner \/ Intermediate workout, whereas Insanity is considered Advanced. Maybe my body is used to Insanity but I found Hard Corps HARD.  <\/p>\n

Last day of the Easter break and I’ve been taking advantage of the in-laws and sneaking off to test out the Beachbody on Demand @beachbody app. It’s a lot easier doing exercise when there’s no baby about! The app gives you access to hundreds of different workouts with prices from under \u00a310 a month. It’s got my favourite – Insanity – as well as others including PiYo (a Pilates \/ yoga mash-up), Cize, p90X and many others. Looking for something new I tried one of the 22 Minute Hard Corps (more like ‘corpse’ by the end of it 😂) workouts and it is TOUGH. Here’s a sneak peak. Keep an eye out for the full review on the blog soon… What do you think of home workouts? ~ @wabbitpie . #healthylivinglondon #beachbody #homeworkout<\/a><\/p>\n
