I find her Fight Club work outs to be extremely daunting on the choreography. I’m a former personal trainer and fitness instructor so have some background in fitness. I really love Chalean and the turbo workouts but needed a change. I find Jericho a lot more tolerable than other online coaches. I’ma working single mom to a toddler so going to the gym regularly is a luxury I no longer have much time to do. Makes me long for the good ol’ days of “Bronx is Burning” Bobby Stevenson and psycho-Phil. Let’s just say I don’t think they’re the kind of dudes that would survive long on a winter white-tail hunt. They’re going to appeal to women more, as the men are a little on the dainty side. The cast also feels a bit manufactured, like they came from a discount acting school. But those wanting real muscle gains won’t find much to satisfy them here. Thus, MM100 is great for endurance athletes or people looking to shed a little chub. It’s low-weight/high rep…a style the BB catalog is getting very top-heavy with. Morning Meltdown 100 workouts are all cardio-resistance, which means you will never grab 70lb monsters to do bench presses or perform pull-ups until you puke. That means they’re good at everything but truly great at none. What make MM100 the Same?įor better or worse, Beachbody is pumping out “Jack-of-all-trades” type workouts these days. Gone are the days when we could recite every one of Tony’s jokes by heart. Beachbody’s latest strategy seems to be focused on keeping each day fresh and minimizing repeats. In the end it sounds about the same as any Shaun T mix.Īnother plus is the sheer number of workouts. The idea is harmless and the tunes are decent enough to follow along with. I’m not sure a live DJ is necessary, but DJ Jesse has to eat too. Your mileage may vary as my setup was Airplay to an AppleTV from my iPhone. I eventually found creative ways to download the media beforehand to avoid the frustration. For a workout 100% dependent on sticking to the beat, this soon became intolerable after the fourth crash. Repeatedly, I had to contend with the iOS app crashing, and thus interrupting my groove until I reloaded it. The BOD app has a history ( for me anyway ) of cycling from very stable to AAARGH!! Beachbody, make sure the app isn’t dealing with menopause. But if this is the rudder that will steer the mighty S.S. I understand the business model for streaming media, I really do. Of the two recovery workouts, I liked this one more. Less balancing and more good old fashioned stretching. Re-Vibe – Yoga inspired recovery workout. Meltcon – This seems to be a mix of Upbeat and Downbeat Strength in an effort to give a total body resistance workout. As the name implies, this is certain to develop a solid backside. It’s a good concept, just be confident you have enough space and nobody else is in the room lest they get an unexpected 10lb metal sandwich right in the kisser. Total Body Badass – Light weight is combined with plyometrics. It’s good to have, but the results are no different than any other abdominal routine. Keep in mind, there’s only so many ways to skin a cat when it comes to doing crunches. Thankfully, the reps go slow, allowing for the muscle to take advantage of “negatives”, which is where real growth takes place.Ĭore Inferno – Little over 20 minutes of abs. Ok, I had some concerns over this as doing weight training to the beat rather than to reps seems a bad idea. Upbeat Strength– Chest, back, shoulder and arms. Right out of the box, some of these moves are surprisingly complex. I’ll try and cover the basics to get you started.Ĭardio Meltdown – Burpees, fast motions and jumps while trying to stick to the beat. The names also make them self explanatory. Right away, I can see the workouts are just about all cardio/resistance combos. There’s not a whole lot of increase in intensity as the phases progress, just variety and skill level. I don’t have that many fingers and toes to confirm, so I’m going to take Jericho’s word on this. The 100 in the name implies there are a total of 100 workouts. That’s a freaking jack-ton of workouts to go through so this review is going to have to narrow the scope in order to be shorter than War and Peace. The series is 5 Phases with roughly 20 workouts per phase.
