Reducing Weight Utilizing the Principles Found in Beachbody Power Half Hour

Until fairly recently, the conventional wisdom of weight loss was mostly fixated on one dominant approach.

The idea that was widely held was that slow paced workouts done for an extended duration as seen on a treadmill or with stairmaster like equipment would be the most effective way to lose weight and fat.

Beachbody Power Half Hour has been around for about 8 years and represents an emerging approach to the issue of weight loss and reshaping your body.

Many people have heard of P90X.  There are over 4 million and counting satisfied customers worldwide who have seen amazing changes in their body and physical lives thanks to Beachbody’s most famous home workout.

Beachbody Power Half Hour represents a diet plan in itself and actually predated P90X.   Tony Horton is the main designer behind both workouts and they both rest on the same basic principles.

Those principles are that working out with excellent structure and high intensity with a focus on daily muscle confusion will reap superior weight loss and body shaping results.

The Beachbody Power Half Hour muscle confusion approach keeps your body off balance in such a way as to force your biggest muscles in your body to work hard no matter what the workout.

You stay off balance because the workouts change every day. One day, you have upper body, the next lower body.  With Beachbody Power Half Hour, similar to P90x, you have multiple workouts that forces your body to work hard without getting comfortable.

Fundamentally you work at such a high pace that you are getting both a huge calorie burn and intense body shaping results.  The necessity for working out for a long time isn’t there.

Customers generally love this aspect of properly laid out extreme home workouts like Power Half hourand P90X.

When surveyed prior to the creation of both workouts, Beachbody.com was careful to figure out if people would want to work harder but for a shorter period of time. 

The answer was a resounding yes if you could achieve similar or better weight loss results as with long runs on a treadmill.

So exercise science took a leap forward. Now you have more workouts emphasizing total body work. Cross fit is an example of a workout that borrows heavily from the principles found in P90X and Power Half Hour.
