I’ll be the first to admit sometimes I fall into an exercise rut. Without someone or something to shake up my routine, I tend to default to the same old moves, which are a total snore to my body by now. That’s why when I had the chance to try out the BeFit Program through Sweatpink, I was all over it.
What is #BeFitAllYear?
It’s a comprehensive program made up of 5 components:
Pre-workout: Workout boosting drinks are not new to me but I freaking love this one. When I mix a scoop of the poweder with plain water and drink 15 minutes pre-workout, I feel like I can go faster and longer with less effort. It’s not one that gets you all amped up and jittery either. Total win!
Protein Powder with recipes. I tried the chocolate powder in my post-workout smoothies. I added frozen tart cherries to mine to help with recovery and also some slow oats to keep me satisfied longer. BeFit Protein Powder is made up of a combination of whey and casein protein. Whey protein is quickly absorbed while the Casein is slow-release so the naturally occurring amino acids have more time to help your muscles recover better.
Burn: Not only does this supplement help your body generate heat to metabolize fat, it also contains prebiotics, probiotics and polyphenols to provide good bacteria to the gut. Take it 15 minutes before your largest meal of the day.
Exercise Videos: These are short (think 11-15 minutes) but very effective videos I added most days in addition to whatever workout I’m already doing. They range from titles like Metabolic Booster, Cardio Crush and Total Body Shred. What I enjoy most about these (besides their brevity) is that many of the moves are very creative and unlike any I’ve done before. They work my body in new ways and keep it guessing, which is always good.
Exercise Calendar: The 30-day Fat Burn Calendar tells you exactly what to do every day so there’s no time wasted guessing or figuring it out. I love how much the workouts changed every day. It never got predictable or monotonous.
Overall: This was a fun to use program. It was easy to understand and follow. I wasn’t as diligent with the Burn supplement as I should have been. I simply forgot to take it on several occasions. Standouts for me were the Pre-workout drink and I really enjoyed the variety of the exercise videos. Everything is here, to set you up for success.
Have you tried any program like this before? What is your biggest challenge with fitness/healthy eating?
Sounds interesting! I don’t think I want to try anything new right now, in the middle of marathon training but maybe after this, I could experiment. Any tummy issues with this stuff? You know me…
I find it challenging taking care of a family with different needs…while taking care of my own!
I find it challenging to get enough sleep to sustain my activities…I have to get up quite early to be able to get a full run in before work and I know I do not go to bed every night to make up for the early rise. Someday, I’ll figure it all out 🙂
Consistent healthy eating!
Nice review Coach! I like those videos 🙂
When I get stressed and pressed for time, my healthy lifestyle goes down the toilet. Yeah. The products and program are very interesting!
Um, trying not to reward myself with food, of course! Chocolate cherry smoothies are one of my favorites when the weather is warmer. I gravitate to something warmer during the colder months.
I actually do change up my exercise routine on a fairly regular basis. I get bored easily!
staying on track during the cold months
my biggest challenge is portion control :/
BeFit sounds great! My biggest challenge with living healthy is making the time to prepare healthy meals in advance! I’m also trying to work on doing a better job fueling before and after my workouts, so this sounds like a really cool product!
My biggest challenge when it comes to my fitness routine is my migraine disease. It truly sucks the life out of me and there is no working out when I am having an attack. Not only does it disrupt my workouts, it pretty much derails any plans my family might have as well… so there’s the guilt on top of the pain.
My biggest challenge is staying on track when I go out to eat.
I saw the videos this a.m. on MB’s page and watched a few and love them. I like how short they are I am going to try to add them in at the end of my weight routine. These are short enough I think I could pull them up and watch while doing! I am glad you found something yummy you like.
Giving up dairy. I love ice cream
My biggest challenge is deciding what fitness program to follow next. Once I know what I have no problems tweaking it to fit into my schedule and abilities.
I love how all the components work together. I’m avoiding all dairy for the moment, but a tasty protein powder is always a plus!
My challenge is my job! When I’m out on a trail for a few days at a time every ounce of food counts when I have to carry it on my back. Sacrificing nutrition for portability is the name of the game when you’re a backpacking guide.
This program sounds great! I would love to switch up my routine and try the supplements. I currently drink a protein shake after my workouts but have never tried a pre-workout.
Sounds great. I need to find a good protein shake that tastes good. I have not found one yet
Finding balance. Balance in exercising and resting 🙂
My biggest challenge right now is feeding myself enough calories for both myself and little man since I’m breastfeeding. Since I’m hungry all the time, its tempting to put anything and everything in my mouth. But I know that’s not a smart move and won’t nutritionally support either of us.
My biggest challenge is my love of junk food haha
I love that exercise videos are included as part of the BeFit kit! I’ve been interested to read these reviews – awesome that the pre workout supplement is such a winner for you!!
Eating healthy is the biggest part for me. Ive been using a great preworkout product from Isagenix that I love. I would be a little iffy on the burn product as well. What exactly is in it?
My biggest challenge is getting in enough protein, and veggies too!
Right now, my biggest challenge is finding the time and energy to workout with two young toddlers in the house. I also fine myself choosing nutrient-free snacks when I need a little pick-me-up.
My biggest challenge is definitely getting enough sleep. I’m not good at going to bed at a reasonable time, and then I have to get up early for work. Whoops!
My biggest challenge is buying healthy foods
Consistency is my issue right now! :[ I also don’t have a gym right now, so I’ve been doing fitness classes and bodyweight workouts when possible!
i think the convenience of a quick unhealthy meal is my biggest challenge
I so want to win some of this before I buy it, I’m sold already!!! I’m ashamed at how many giveaways I’ve entered, nah no I’m not. #sorrynotsorry! But I don’t want to piss off the giveaway Gods so I’m gonna leave it with this one. 🙂 Have a great weekend Marcia, you having coffee with us tomorrow?
Eating healthy and getting enough protein.
Too much food temptation
My biggest challenge has to be controlling my portions, even of the healthy foods!
Eating enough protein is hard for me! I lean vegetarian but the healthy stuff takes more prep than I end up getting around to.
my biggest challenge is making healthy choices when i’m out to eat with others. it’s hard not to get ice cream when everyone else is!
Going to partiies. We usually attend a party every weekend and there’s always awesome looking food I can’t touch.
Healthing eating.
Finding the time to workout being a single full time parent.
my biggest challenge is staying on track when eating with my boyfriend
My biggest challenge with a healthy lifestyle is dealing with the wants and needs of other people.
