Are there any women who have gotten good results from this? I am a 23 year old female currently doing p90x and looking for more bodybuilding workouts.

Yes, I am a 38 year old woman who has been doing Beast Body and it has enhanced my weightlifting results from P90X. P90X worked well for me. However, the Beast really improved my arms and shoulders. Although I have to say that the leg workouts will leave you sore, but they did not seem to enhance my leg results. I reviewed the DVDs and you are welcome to read my review about what exercises are done. I like to rotate the weightlifting DVDs from Beast Body with those from P90X.

This company is a scam! DO NOT BUY!!!! They hit our credit card for multiple unauthorized charges, totaling over $320!!! We have filed fraudulent transaction claims with our card company.

Check out the Body Beast Facebook page, there are plenty of females who are posting results on that site. Also look at the pictures of the Body Beast classic, which was this past summer. The classic was for both male and females. Furthermore, you may wish to check out "Team Beachbody" message board for other females doing the program. This way you can get tips and recommendations as well as see what others are going through. This is a excellent old school weight lifting 101 meets modern day science [with the usage of drop sets, super sets, forced sets,,,,,].

You probably won't like it much, because it uses only body weight. I consider P90x to be very challenging, and that's why I bought this...I didn't feel ready for it. This workout is fairly simple, so it would certainly be a step back . I will say that, for the price, these dvds are worth checking out as you may find them useful.

I'm a body builder too, as far as I know. I would just use it for 1-2 months with proper workout and see if it's getting me anywhere or not. You may also take pictures of your self and compare them with your after 1-2 month pictures. < That's what I I'm doing.

Patricia, Sad to day we did not use this at all. The seniors in our group preferred to do the shallow end exercises. I think that we tried it once and only once. Good luck finding a good program. I had ordered 5 and we only use one of them. Cheryl

Sorry. I have heard of T25, but not used it to exercise with. I love P90X3. It is quote vigorous and fast. It helped to have used P90X previously since many actions are advanced version of those on P 90 X.

This workout would be perfect for you. I have also done P90X along with a few other workouts. This workout won't bulk you up but it keeps you tone and focuses a lot on safe and creative core exercises perfect for general fitness and stability. It also has enough cardio so you don't have to hit the treadmill afterwards. Hope this helps.

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

I've been bodybuilding since 1959! (Yeah, I'm an oldtimer, ha!) But I'm also open minded and always willing to give new types of equipment a try. The shake weight is a good addition to my training. It's really sort of simple to use. What I've been doing, when I use it, is to hold it in front of me, and start shaking it and then it's own momentum takes over. But don't let this fool you. It's an ass-kicker. I also alternate left hand over right hand, and vice versa. So obviously I recommend it for the variety it provides. Mike

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.

I loved the results. My breast became fuller and more perky. I do think I gained in my behind and stomach as well. I'm confused if it's worth it.

Definitely! I'm 50 and did this workout last year. Just take it as slowly as you need to. The program starts with a 20 minute workout 3 x per week. Just do that one until your strength and endurance pick up, then add on the 30 minute workout. Then the 45 and the 2 60s. If you take it to YOUR level and use weights that are safe for you, you should be fine! Just don't be discouraged and pace yourself!

I was exercising once a day while taking this and didn't have any results at all. I'm not an over weight person but do want to lose about 10lbs. I work out twice a day now (not taking these anymore) and I'm mainly toning.

thinking about purchasing this. Would this bee too much for a person who is just getting into working out? I thought the program could be scaled back to fit my abilities now and increase over time. I would like to know what others think.

Definately! Everything about this workout is for making you stronger, physically and mentally. I did P90 in the past and I think this is tougher since it is all body strength and no weights.

I'd recommend doing Alpha and Beta first. I was in "decent" shape, (had given birth 6 months ago), I had not worked out in 2 years, and when I started with Alpha I struggled at the beginning. I did a lot of modifiers at the beginning but managed to complete the program, and improve my physical condition a 100%. I just finished Gamma but I don't think I could have started with Gamma.

Anyone else tried hoist? I think I am going to buy them, they seem like the best choice for p90x, thoughts?

I have done both P90x and Body beast and these are very different from BurstFit. The other programs about bulk and BurstFit is about using light weights in an anaerobic way. Don't get me wrong, this workout will kick your butt, but it's not about strength training like the other two are.
