Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal of Beach Bod?
Summer always comes quicker then we’re ready for it but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for you! I designed this system specifically to promote lean mass but also drive up your metabolism keeping your skin close to your muscle bellies. This is built out with optimal work to rest ratio so anybody that’s new or advanced can excel in this program at an expedited rate… IF they are willing to push themselves and stay committed. Do you have what it it takes? Let’s find out!!
Who is Beach Bod for?
My Beach Bod program is for anyone looking for an accessible program that protects muscle mass but also promotes a healthy metabolism … aka higher fat burn! The movements are accessible so the workout can be for beginners but advanced workout goers will be able to push themselves and really feel a challenge and see change!
What equipment do I need? How do I substitute?
For this program, we will use dumbbells, a physio ball, cable pulley machine, mat, bench and bands. But don’t stress if you don’t have a gym membership. Every exercise can be modified so that you can finish the program without ever leaving your house (although of course I don’t recommend that! Everyone needs some Vitamin D!)
What order should I be completing the workouts in? What about rest days?
The Beach Bod program is meant to be performed in chronological order, starting with Day 1 and finishing on Day 10. I’ve purposefully incorporated two rest days on Day 3 and Day 7 of the program so that you can refuel and recover before your next sprint. Have more than 10 days until your next beachout?! Feel free to double down and start the program all over again once you’ve finished the first time through. You can always increase your weights / reps to challenge yourself in the second phase of the program.
Can I track my progress?
Yes! When you finish a workout, be sure to slide your finger across “Swipe to Complete” to keep track of your progress. Once a workout is complete, there will be a checkmark next to its title in the app and we’ll update your progress percentage accordingly!
What if I’m a beginner?
If you’re just getting back into a workout regime and feel intimidated by the program, DON’T. Every exercise can be modified to suit your current stage of development. If an exercise is too challenging (remember, a little challenge is a good thing) then decrease the reps. For each of the “Shred” workouts, I have programmed your workout based on intensity as a % of your max. Your 90% intensity will be different from another person’s 90%. Do what feels right for you!

Great calorie burn and cardio challenge.

This workout helped re-energize me when I needed it most. I’m rehabbing a knee injury and have gotten so bored with back/arm/ab weightlifting that isn’t challenging me enough. I was getting so discouraged, but this workout was SO much fun and challenged me in the ways I needed to be.

Felt great to push my speed for longer periods of time and see just how far I could go!

Trying to keep my upper body lean so I upped reps and used lower-ish weight on flys and curl/arnold press. How can I protect my lower back on the cable sumo squat? I was engaging my quads, inner thigh, and core but still felt my lower back tighten... is that normal???

Muscles felt challenged without being totally out of breath. Good workout for the end of a loooooong week.

Hard workout. But it took me 28 minutes and not the 45 indicated. What am I doing wrong?
