SO.... YOU WANNA BE FIT AND HEALTHY LIKE A CELEBRITY?
How many of us dream of being a celebrity? I think it's fair to reason that most of us have thought about it at least once! Never having to worry about bills, how you're going to take that next vacation, having to punch into the 9-5 and be tied to that desk. Seems like a dream right?
The one thing that I always said was that if I became rich and famous I would have my own personal chef and amazing home gym! Lol.
It seems like all celebrities are fit and sexy, right? I mean, it's their job to be that way, of course, But wouldn't we all be like that if we had the time and money to have our own personal chefs cooking us healthy food and our own at-home facilities with trainers to keep us in tip top athletic shape? That's my argument as to how they're all able to do it.
So if these guys are able to afford ANY trainer, workout program, gym membership that they'd ever want why on earth would they choose at-home Beachbody workouts to get the job done?
BECAUSE THEY WORK!
That's the bottom-line. They work! Trust me when I tell you that I was the biggest skeptic when it came to at-home workout programs when I decided to join the Beachbody family. I was an epic gym-rat. Anyone who has known me for at least 3-ish years will attest to my dedication to the gym! I was terrified when it was time for me to fully dedicate myself to Insanity Max 30 almost a year ago. How in the world would I be successful working out at home? Well, seems that even the celebrities know that these at-home workout programs can work!
So who are these elusive celebrities who have had amazing success with these programs? Let me show you!
#1 EMINEM
After battling severe addiction, time in rehab, and a massive weight gain (he was close to 230 pounds at one point) Eminem decided that upon leaving rehab he needed to find a new way to function. He took up running, which helped to ease his insomnia. With running he was able to get himself down to an amazing 149 pounds. But he admits that he got a little carried away. All of the constant pounding from the running took a toll on his body and he started having major pain in his hip flexors. In an effort to keep up the cardio but ease the running, he decided to try INSANITY! After initially doing a mesh of running and INSANITY, he says that it was too hard to keep up with both and INSANITY won! After completing INSANITY Eminem moved onto P90X and then onto Body Beast, which he says is currently his favorite program.
"Now every morning before I go to the studio, I do the Body Best workout with free weights,
bench, and pullup bar at home. It's just me, so it helps that the Body Beast dude is over-the-top.
The routine is pretty intense, too. The first time I did the legs, I couldn’t walk for two days.”
#2 CHRIS PRATT
Mr. Pratt was involved with a multitude of different exercise routines in order to lose 60 pounds in six months. One of the programs that he incorporated into his program was P90X. He also swam, boxed, kickboxed, and even ran a triatholon. I think we can all agree he looks pretty darn amazing! He certainly made the new Jurassic Park even more enjoyable.
#3 MISSY ELLIOT
I think we can all remember when Missy made her reappearance at The Superbowl halftime show in 2015, right? When she came out to join Katy Perry on stage everyone was amazed at how incredible she looked. This isn't the first time Missy has dropped weight; she lose quite a bit of weight back in the day when she was doing her 'Under Construction' album. She lost 70 pounds at that time. However, she still wasn't quite where she wanted/needed to be, so she decided to give Shaun T's T25 program a go! She was super successful, dropping another 30 pounds! She says that she attributes it to T25 and eating healthy.
"I do Insanity workout to @shauntfitness videos. Sweets/bread/ fried foods is my weakness it's not
easy but health comes 1st :) "
In 2008, Elliott was diagnosed with Graves' disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. Graves' disease attacks the thyroid and can cause weight loss, anxiety, excessive sweating, insomnia and heart palpitations. Family history, stress and smoking are risk factors. Without treatment, Graves' can lead to heart problems.Missy says her disease is a lifelong condition that has to be carefully managed. Elliott initially treated Graves' disease with drugs, but said she manages it now with diet and exercise.
#4 NFL PLAYER BRANDON MARSHALL
In September Marshall revealed that he was down 13 pounds, from 243 to 230. That weight just happens to be his rookie playing weight! While vacationing in St. Bart's he and his wife happened to see an infomercial for the 21 Day Fix and were inspired to give it a try together. Not only did Marshall lose the 13 pounds, his wife lost 20! They liked the portion-controlled philosophy:
"You can control what you're putting in your body. You can control whether that's the wrong
foods, fried foods, how much food you're putting in. The more you're aware of that and the
better you take care of your body, you put yourself and your team in a better chance to win."
ESPN is now rumoring that Marshall will soon become the next spokesperson for the Fix. Haha.
So what was that conversation again about how these at-home fitness programs don't work? Like I said before, I was as skeptical as any. But I'm super glad that I gave them a chance because I ended up being in better shape after completing the 60-day program INSANITY Max 30 than I was spending all that time in the gym. Are these programs for everyone? No, of course not. But if you're someone who either can't seem to make it into the gym, is tired of wasting time commuting, is tired of the gym scene, or who just wants something you can do at home to SUPPLEMENT your time in the gym, I challenge you to give one of the many Beachbody at-home programs a shot!
We have no problem eating pies promoted by celebrities (ahem....Patti LaBelle anyone...), so whynot take a tip from someone who can afford the best and try the BEST OF THE BEST elite home fitness programs!
