WORKOUT REVIEWS
My goal with the detailed Beachbody Workout Reviews is to complete the most challenging programs AND create perspective for you to make decisions on leveraging them for your health and fitness goals (or, in combination with one of my popular HYBRIDS!). Given that I am a Science guy, I leverage heart rate analysis for each workout to draw conclusions and comparisons including the data in my perspective. I have a Polar Bluetooth enabled heart rate monitor (chest strap) synced to my iPhone using the free Polar Beat Mobile App & Polar Flow. Enjoy some of the most detailed, if not THE most detailed, Beachbody Workout Reviews online courtesy of Mike Nowak at HowDoIGetRipped.com and TEAM RAGE!
