What Do You Need For Les Mills Body Pump

By Paul Atkins | Published May 15, 2012

Have you seen the infomercials or heard the rumors about the new brand new in home BodyPump workout called Les Mills PUMP? If so, you might be wondering what you need before you buy it.

First of all the base program comes with pretty much everything you need to get you started. If you’ve gone to BodyPump classes before and already own equipment like a barbell and plates and are wondering if you can just buy the DVDs you can’t. The program is all or nothing, which can be a hassle for some. For everyone else out there wondering what you get with it and if you need anything else, this is for you.

The base program comes with 7 DVD workouts and bunch of exercise end nutrition guides, one padded barbel, one set of 5 pound weights, one set of 10 pound weights, for a total of 30 pounds of weights, and two plastic safety clips that hold the weight on the barbell.

If you’re just starting this type of fitness program 30 pounds will be plenty. My only suggestions from personal use is that you might want to buy some smaller 2.5 pound weights as a go between the 5′s and 10′s.

You don’t need anything else for the program. If you buy Les Mills PUMP you get everything you need in it to start the program and keep you going for a while. There’s no need for a yoga mat, push up stands, chinup bar, or any other accessory like that.

If you’d like to try Les Mills Pump today and only pay $180.85 ($165.85 + $15 shipping) with no sales tax click the image below.

Les Mills Pump Advertised For $14.95 & Free Shipping – Or Is It?

By Paul Atkins | Published April 10, 2012

Have you seen Les Mills PUMP advertised for just $14.95 with Free Shipping? If so, you’re probably thinking “this can’t be true” or “what’s the catch”. In this article we’ll easily explain what this promo is and what the total price to you will be when it’s all said and done as well as show you the lowest cost Les Mills PUMP you can find with no strings attached.

Les Mills PUMP $14.95 & Free Shipping. What’s The Deal?

There are several sites out there promoting this deal. All of these sites seem to be reputable and offer genuine products. However this deal isn’t really the best out there when you examine it closely. Basically you pay $14.95 and can send it back anytime within the first 30 days and you won’t come out of pocket anymore than the $14.95. This same 30 day money back guarantee is available anywhere you buy Beachbody programs and comes with any Les Mills PUMP program you buy regardless if you choose to buy it on Beachbody.com or some other affiliate website.

Now let’s examine the real cost of the program when you buy it from any site advertising a $14.95 price. The $14.95 is the amount you will be billed initially PLUS any sales tax if applicable. If you choose to keep the product, 30 days from the date of purchase you will be billed $59.95 and then 30 days after that you will be billed $59.95 with a final $59.95 billed 30 days after that. So the grand total is $194.80 plus any applicable sales tax which could be another almost $20 bucks.

Is $194.80 plus tax a good price for Les Mills PUMP? Not really. The base kit Les Mills PUMP retails for $165.85 which is almost $30 cheaper than the promo price. Therefore even if you paid an additional $15 for shipping you’re still about $14 cheaper than the $14.95 advertised promotion. In addition, many other sites out there choose not to charge sales tax which raises the savings even more. Not to mention that when you buy Les Mills PUMP from a site that advertises the $14.95 price you won’t get the bonus Core Workout that comes only through a Team Beachbody affiliate.

Yet, if you don’t really care about the Bonus DVD or saving a few bucks overall and would rather have your payments spread out over time, it’s not a bad deal. In fact it’s really the only way you can get Les Mills PUMP via a payment plan.

If you’d like to try Les Mills Pump today and only pay $180.85 ($165.85 + $15 shipping) with no strings attached, click the image below.

Les Mills Pump Review | All Hype or BodyPump Worthy Results?

By Paul Atkins | Published March 27, 2012

Les Mills PUMP Review – Is It Worthy To Carry The Les Mills Name?

Let me first begin this review by stating: “I HAVE NOT YET PERSONALLY TRIED LES MILLS PUMP.” Now that I have made that abundantly clear, you may be wondering how it is I can offer a review of the program. What this particular Les Mills PUMP review will be about is less the “incredible results” and “first hand experience” of an actual user and more of the what you get when you buy it, real customer feedback about it, and statistical sales numbers that hopefully will help you make an informed decision as to whether or not to purchase it. After all, the shear fact that you are here reading this review, lends itself to the fact you are considering it as your new workout of choice.

First Things First…What You Get With Les Mills PUMP

If you’ve done any research whatsoever about this workout program you already know it comes with seven DVDs in the base kit with three more “advanced workouts” that can be found in the ultimate kit. This is not rocket science. Most DVD in home workout programs actually come with DVDs. Most workouts also feature a main fitness instructor that becomes the brand name and reputation behind it. This single “Amazing Fitness Instructor” becomes the face behind the brand and can become synonymous with the very name of the program they invented. For instance P90X is Tony Horton, Tae Bo is Billy Blanks, Slim in 6 is Debbie Siebers, and last but not least, Sweatin To The Oldies is by none other than Richard Simmons.

What you might not know about Les Mills PUMP is that there is no single trainer at the helm. Les Mills PUMP is uniquely presented by an All Star Team of Master Trainers and program Directors. Beachbody LLC and Les Mills Int’l chose the best BodyPUMP instructors from around the world to create and instruct Pump. A total of 14 instructors collaborated together and are featured in this workout of which two have the last name Mills. Click Here to meet the All Star Team.

Second Things Second….Is that Even A Saying?

What are people who purchased Les Mills Pump actually saying about this program? I’ll admit, it’s hard to find unbiased reviews. The most obvious place to find reviews would be from the website you bought it from, but then you have to wonder if those reviews are doctored in any way, and if they only display the good ones.

Other websites that at first glance seem to offer unbiased reviews, usually end up being tied to the program monetarily somehow. They may receive financial support from the parent company or they are a distributor as well as user. There intentions may be well, but still it would be hard for them to truly be unbiased.

All I can say in this department, is that as someone who owns a retail website that sells in home workout routines like Les Mills PUMP, feedback from our customers about the workout programs they buy is always given. Even if it’s not so good. The feedback we at Fitness Body Online have received about Les Mills PUMP has been nothing but the best. To our surprise in fact. What’s really ridiculous is even when on the rare occasion a customer gets the program and it comes with a defective piece of equipment like the barbell didn’t fit right or the safety clip breaks after a little use, they never want to send it back. In fact it’s quite the opposite, typically the customer (once we’ve resolved their initial issue) is so PUMPED (no pun intended) about the program, they buy extra equipment or end up getting the advanced workouts. They just can’t seem to get enough of it.

Third Things Third….What The Numbers Reveal

It’s already been mentioned that we at Fitness Body Online sell the Les Mills PUMP program. Over the course of just three short months it has quickly risen to the top as one of our best sellers of all time. You shouldn’t base your decision to buy Les Mills PUMP on whether it’s a big seller or not. This we understand. What number you SHOULD base your decision on is whether people choose to return it or not. That’s the real testimony of any product.

We thought we shared with you some numbers. Les Mills PUMP is not just one of our best sellers of all time. It’s leading all of our fitness programs in least amount of returns. Let us put it this way. If someone buys the program, they keep it. Of course, out of the hand full of times it has been returned, it’s usually been because of reasons not related to the workout routine itself. Perhaps someone changed their mind while it was in transit, or the shipping took longer than expected, or some other unrelated event. What we can confidently say, is that no one returns Les Mills PUMP because it isn’t any good! No one.

If you feel you’d like to learn a little more about the program because you’re interested in buying it, click the Les Mills PUMP link here to be taken to our sales page. This page will give you detailed information about the costs of the programs and what options come in each kit.

Les Mills PUMP Equipment Complaints

By Paul Atkins | Published March 11, 2012

There’s been all kinds of people looking into Les Mills PUMP these days. Most of the PUMP reviews out there from real users all pretty much say that the program is the real McCoy and that they are getting great results. Fans of Les Mills BodyPump classes who have decided to give the in home version a shot, have for the most part been pleasantly surprised. Although only in it’s third month of release this workout routine continues to be one of the years best sellers for in home workout producer Beachbody.

With all the good of the program there does come some bad. Recently there’s been a trend of complaints that tend to center around one particular part of the program. Many people have complained about the equipment that comes with the program. The complaints range from the plates not fitting on the barbell correctly, or the plastic clips that hold the plates on the barbell arrive broken, and many have said that their barbell is defective upon arrival. Usually stating that it doesn’t fit together properly or that the ends of it show rust and block it from forming a nice tight close fit.

I have seen poor reviews about the bar in this set. I would like my product double checked to make sure all the parts are in working order when they arrive . Thank you in advance.

Needless to say this has caused some potential Les Mills PUMP buyers to question whether or not they should buy the program. For instance we recently received this note from a customer who decided to go ahead and buy Les Mills PUMP. If you feel that you are holding off buying the Les Mills PUMP program because of concerns like these we have a few things for you to think about.

First and foremost the Les Mills PUMP program comes with a complete 30-Day 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. This means if you don’t like the program after using it once, never using it, or using every day for 30 days and you want your money back, just send it back for a full refund of the program cost.

What if you receive the program and an item is defective thereby prohibiting you from even starting it? Not that this happens a lot, but it does happen. When this occurs please notify us by email. We guarantee within 24 hours we will contact you, determine the problem and have the defective items replacement in route to you via FedEx 2-Day Air no matter what it is. You have a defective DVD that skips, or a barbell that won’t tighten, just tell us and a new one will be on the way no questions asked.

Wow! Thanks for your quick response and answer. I appreciate your great customer service!

We get emails all the time from happy customers who perhaps had a frustrating issue with their order, but due to our prompt response and no questions asked replacement policy end up delighted and repeat visitors to our store. Our aim is to make sure that when you commit to ordering a program like Les Mills PUMP you get what you pay for and are completely satisfied with not just the results but the entire process from A to Z.

E&E Energy And Endurance Pre-Workout Formula

By Ben English | Published March 1, 2012

The best thing to keep your focus up and ready throughout the day is to get the energy, endurance, strength, and focus you need. Eating right will help in this area but sometimes, that just isn’t enough, and more than likely eating right before you workout is not advised. The right exercise is crucial. If exercise has reached a miserable stalemate and the soreness and aches after a session lead toward more fumbling, try the new E&E Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout Formula.

This will help you get the most out of your workout because you will be burning more calories and fat. Sometimes electrolytes just don’t cut it. You need sustaining endurance to get through the day. One mistake can be costly. Don’t make the mistake of working out in your own physical routine without the right supplement. With enough online research, you will find that this supplement delivers on what it advertises. You truly get the most out of your workout.

That means, the domino effect halts because you’ll have the endurance, energy, stamina, and focus to get you through your day. This is something you will feel. This won’t be an extreme boost through your workout routine, but it will be a lasting sustain to make that workout count. One of the downsides to this supplement is that it tastes brutal. It is similar to lemonade. Some people hate lemonade and can’t imagine drinking anything close to that before a workout, but the nutrients in this supplement are designed for you to get the most out of you routine.

When I first tried Airbourne, I didn’t care for the taste, but it was one of those things that grew on me. The result was that I wasn’t getting sick that much after a dose. Anything to avoid the flu is worth it. That’s Airbourne. The E&E Energy supplement will have that same approach. This will be something that will help you get through a workout if soreness and aches are a real downer in your own workout routine.

The goal is to fuel the body with the right energy and the right nutrients. An apple may not cut it if you’re tackling an intense cardio routine. This isn’t the sort of supplement where you’ll be all jittery after a session. It does have a bitter taste but you will notice a difference if intense workouts have been a plateau that have been hard to climb through.

Tropical Strawberry Shakeology

Beachbody Releases Tropical Strawberry Shakeology

Review By Fitness Editor: James Atkins

Released on Valentine’s Day because of its pink look, a new shake is on the market for you to buy. This isn’t your ordinary meal replacement shake. The Shakeology brand has only two flavors of chocolate and greenberry. Now, tropical strawberry adds a new twist to increasing energy, reduce cravings, lose weight, and improve digestion. This dietary supplement is meant for those on the go or simply for the ones who like having shakes instead of working up the ingredients on the next dietary requirement.

Plain and simple, this is a fruity shake with a vegan stamp. Easily you have pineapple, banana, and papaya hitting those tastebuds. What this shake does is that it allows a foundation to add your own favorite fruits like blueberries and coconut water. For a vegan shake, it adds a protein punch such as sprouted brown rice, sacha inchi, chia, flax, quina, amaranth, and spirulina. The bonus of having all those ingredients meshed into one shake is that it is 100% dairy and lactose free. This is a huge bonus for ones who have allergies to different dairies.

At 160 calories, 15 grams of protein, and 20 grams of carbs, this is the ideal breakfast substitute. If you haven’t heard of Luo Han Guo, this shake has it. It’s shell is a leathery thin layer. The inside of this dried fruit is a dusty brown color and kinda looks like a misfire cousin of the grape. When its fresh, its covered in a soft fine hair. This medicinal fruit has been known to treat coughs, sore throats, lung congestion, and well as constipation. In southern China, you’ll see this added as a sweetener in beverages and food.

The antioxidant in this fruit helps support the immune system and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels which aids in weight loss. This is one of the ingredients in the Tropical Strawberry shake. It’s a very sweet combination. The goal is to get you all the nutrients you need to help get you through your day. The taste is on the sweet side and that’s the aim of the tropical strawberry flavor. If you are a fan of shakes, this is your ticket to healthier living by getting all the vitamins and minerals you need. You will feel a difference.

Sign up now and get your own meal replacement shake. Your family will benefit and the effects of Shakeology is something that you’ll be telling others. That conversation will come about naturally because you will feel better. This new flavor is designed to help you get the most out of your day. Try Shakeology. It will change your life.

The Skill Of Being Lean

By Ben English | Published February 13, 2012

Being lean is more skill and education followed by the right amount of execution. If staying lean, thin, cut, and trim were easy, everyone would be doing it. So why the gap? Why is it so hard to stick to certain diet or exercise routine? Consistency has the frail moment of falling apart. Something comes up and that’s life but when it comes to proactive and healthy living there are certain walls to overcome. One in three children in the U.S. are obese or overweight according to the latest government statistics.

So what if there isn’t a sponsored government program encouraging healthy living. Right now, there are few proven models for helping children and adolescents strive for healthier weight. One thing is for sure, the rise in overweight children has risen in recent years. Simply forming a “group meeting” where kids can “talk” at the local YMCA may have positive roots but it doesn’t help in solving a trend in society. I’m sure it has a meaningful impact to a select few but what other children and adolescents wish they were doing something else.

Making fit and healthy living cool without being a trendy fad will up the chances of a healthy diet. After all, children are hardly the frontrunners in buying groceries. This starts at home, with the parents. You can’t eat Fruit Loops if you don’t have any in the kitchen. Simply taking something a child is accustomed to receiving isn’t really going to bring about peaceful conditions in a household either.

So what is the answer? Healthy diet and exercise isn’t something that will last with a bribe in gift cards. People eat when they’re bored. A child that’s bored is probably going to rummage through the kitchen and find foods that aren’t the best choice in healthy living. If there is a way to make indoor living fun with the right exercise routine, then you have a marketable answer to childhood obesity.

Simply plugging in a DVD with kids jumping around and doing pushups isn’t quite a solution either. The element is fun. Eating has to have its boundaries and rules. Exercise has to be enjoyable. A child will play basketball for hours if he knows he can get better at it. Even if he or she isn’t going to be the next pop-icon in the NBA, basketball games can add an active challenge to a child’s life. Maybe its hockey, football, baseball, or whatever, each child has their own niche. This isn’t about hijacking the video games and turning good motives into spiteful memories.

Positive reinforcement can hold a lasting tone in a child’s life. A strict regime isn’t the answer but a focus on making smaller changes in lifestyle can lead to lasting results.

Tai Cheng

TAI CHENG – EASTERN MEDICINE MEETS WESTERN FITNESS

Tai Chi has been around a long time originating from the Chinese as an internal Chinese martial art. How is that relevant to a busy and hectic life nowadays? Tai Chi has repeatedly found its way onto the doormat of western culture because of its health benefits. Forget its origins. When you’re feeling down and out with aches and pains, the last thing you want to add is another pill to the daily regimen of heart medications on top of many others that creep in because of old age. Tai Chi adds a mental boost to moving around because it’s so simple and easy.

That appeal brings a lot to the table. The practice of Tai Chi show that there are favorable reports towards balance control, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and has shown to reduce the risk of falls in both healthy and the elderly, improve recovery from chronic stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, heart attacks, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and fibromyalgia. Tai Chi brings low impact movements help burn calories.

Like any other practice, you have to keep at it. One round of Tai Chi isn’t going to change your life. The pattern of practice is what the body needs and the health benefits are numerous. Low impact exercise is easy to attain with a little effort. When you’re limited by an illness, small steps are where you begin. Tai Chi is a preventative and active measure you can do to help stem the tide of stress. What makes this different from yoga? Well yoga is probably a lot more bendy in flexibility. Tai Chi is a more patient and deliberate form of movement.

In one recent study in 2010, funded by the US government, showed that 21 of 33 random and non-randomized trials reported a significant reduction in stress, anxiety, depression in patients who were healthy and patients who had chronic ailments. In about one hour to one year, regular Tai Chi made a difference. The effect on mood and heart rate is positive across the board. The fact that Tai Chi has lasted through time as a beneficial factor across borders speaks volumes.

TAI CHENG Workout By Beachbody

Tai Cheng is Beachbody’s latest workout program set for your living room. Mr. Cheng brings Tai Chi for the everyday person looking to stem anxiety in their routine. This is something anyone can do.
