Power 90 by Beach Body

So, if you know me and this site from the Winsor Pilates page, you know that I do pilates. I try to do it three times a week, but over the last year it kinda got phased out. I found myself needing a quick way to dump weight. By now you know I watch more then my share of T.V. and I have seen the Beach Body commercials showing Power 90 for awhile now.

At first I tried straight dieting. This led to a little weight loss and a whole lot of torture and torment. No I mean it, it was horrible, what I went through to lose about 5 pounds. My old pilates friend/partner suggested a rigorous pilates schedule and dieting together. Then another friend told me I needed more cardio work to lose weight quick.

Pilates is great for weight lose and toning don't get me wrong, but I needed a crash course and I remembered the Power 90 commercial saying something like, "In home boot camp" and this is exactly what I wanted. I looked up Power 90 on the Internet and the first thing I noticed is the 30 day money back guarantee. I don't by ANYTHING without a guarantee. So Beach Body will give you a full refund if you do not see DRAMATIC results in the first 30 days. And DRAMATRIC is what I was looking for.

The beach body program offers a lot, I bought the basic package which has;

- 2 DVD's or Videos which have Phase 1- 2 on one tape or DVD and Phase 3-4 on the second
- a step by step diet guide
- transformation tracker
- quick start guide
- as a bonus you get ab ripper 100 & 200

In addition, I also bought 3 of the resistance bands because I do not have hand weights at home...you need the resistance bands if you do not have weights at home....trust me it made a huge difference. You buy two and get the third for free.

The way it works is you start by using the "quick start guide" for two days (which is optional). They say you can lose up to 10 pounds. I did this over the weekend and lost 5 pounds and I have to tell you, I was excited, but more so I could feel the weight that I lost. This motivated me to stick with the program. Then after the quick start you watch and exercise with the videos each day for about 45 minutes a day, for 6 days a week with a rest on Sunday. Each day you alternate between the "sculpt" video, (which is muscle toning with cardio) and the "sweat" video (which is all cardio). Then you move up from the Phase 1 video series to the Phase 4 series as you progress.

I did this for almost two months, they suggest three months (that's why it's called power 90, it's a ninety day program) so for me I only needed a power 60. Let me tell you this works!!!
