Shakeology The Workouts – The 30

Daily Fit Tips

It’s been at least an hour since I completed my workout tonight and my abs are still burning! What did I do? Shakeology The Workouts – The 30. Quite a name isn’t it? The 30 is quite simply the thirty minute workout vice the fifty minute workout designed to compliment Beachbody’s Shakeology. My abs aren’t burning because of the workout focusing on abs. They’re burning because I was introduced to a new ab exercise. It seems like every Beachbody workout has a slight twist when it comes to working out the abdominal muscles. Each trainer seems to have their own unique signature ab moves.

The workout was only thirty minutes long but took advantage of interval training to keep the heart rate up. Keeping the heart rate up means you’ll burn fat and rev your metabolism. The workout involved three rounds of exercises that combined both cardio moves and strength training exercises. All that’s needed for the strength training is one light set of dumbbells or a resistance band.

What did I like most about it? This workout will make an excellent fitness dvd to take on vacation. It’s designed to work your whole body from head to toe, including toning and cardio. It can be done in a small area such as a hotel room. I can use a resistance band that easily packs and the packaging for the dvds will pack nicely in a suit case.

I will probably also use the workout as a fill in workout to mix in a little variety when I need it. For example, when I do round two of P90X in September or October, I may use the Shakeology workouts to substitute for a Cardio X workout. I’d rate the intensisty as medium. You can certainly modify moves (demonstrated by one of the participants) to reduce the intensity if you’re new to exercising or need to modify for health reasons.

By the way, the trainer’s name is Tania Ante. You can also find her on Beachbody’s Hip Hop Abs, Insanity and Rockin’ Body fitness workout dvds. Tania does an excellent job of demonstrating proper form before each exercise.

If you’re not familiar with Shakeology, it’s a meal replacement shake that Beachbody likes to call it “the healthiest meal of the day.” It’s not just a protein shake or a regular meal replacement shake. It contains 70 healthy ingredients and even comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Take some time to learn about the awesome health benefits of Shakeology. It’s really impressive, and I just can’t do it justice trying to write about it here.

I was impressed enough to make this my breakfast on work days. It’s nutritious and filling. I also liked the fact that in a 90 day study where test participants replaced one shake per day with Shakeology, ate a balanced diet and moderately worked out three times per week reduced their cholesterol an average of 30% and their bad cholesterol by an average of 38%. In a day and age where doctors prescribe medication before educating individuals on nutrition and exercise, I was excited to learn that Shakeology might help in the fight to control cholesterol levels.

You can order the Shakeology workouts alone or get them free when you sign up for an automatic monthly delivery of either Greenberry or Chocolate Shakeology. When you sign up for automatic monthly delivery, you’ll also get your shipping for the Shakeology free every month. It’s kind of a nice program because you get the free workouts, free shipping, and you won’t run out of your meal replacement shake.

Oh, a few stats on the shake…everyone wants to know about calories, fat, carbs, and protein so here’s the stats on the Chocolate Shakeology. 140 Calories. Only 1 gram of fat. 17 grams of carbohydrates. 17 grams of protein.
