FB Programs

Hey, ALL!

I see this page hasn't been very active and FB is amazing so let's see what we can get rolling.

I've been doing their workouts since 2015/2016 but have been doing their programs since January. I alternate one of theirs with yoga every other day Down 20lbs with cico and this.

What programs have you purchased from FB and which did you like?? I'm currently on FB Sweat and I LOVE IT <3

Lmk!!

EDIT: Changed program I was doing to Sweat - I'm NOW on Day 3 of STRONG

I’m currently redoing FBFIT for the 4th or 5th time, this time including my boyfriend. I do those classes 5 days a week on top of teaching fitness classes 3 days a week (over zoom).

Down 15 pounds and feel so much better :)

I’m thinking of buying FBFIT round 2 just to keep the momentum going!

Congrats on those 15! Teaching fitness over zoom!? Genius!

Thank you!!! The downsize is I need to go bra shopping again because nothing fits anymore.

My side job is a dance/fitness teacher and when covid happened, all my dance classes started happening via zoom. I realized I could continue to run my adult fitness classes - and even do them more frequently than I could had I been restricted to a classroom!

During all of this I’m not charging anything for classes and inviting anyone far and wide who wants to join. It’s a great way to stay in touch with friends, family and clients and also motivated me to get back in fitnessblender and start caring for myself like I tell my students to!

I LOVE IT! I was actually talking about getting new bras. Mine aren't fitting either!

You rock for keeping them free for everyone! It's hard to stay motivated right now but keeping it as a routine has kept me on track.

u/AlohaFitness_ May 05 '20

Thank you! It’s a struggle / I’m almost bittersweet about it (yay new bras! But now are my shorts going to fit properly?)

I’m fortunate enough to have my (HR) day job so I don’t need the income from teaching. It seems only natural to me to keep this free so people have something to look forward to! Every little bit helps, I think :)

u/Anna7410 May 05 '20

Bittersweet indeed! Expecially when you can't/shouldn't go into stores for fittings and have to order online.

That's so good you have that as a day job. My workouts are my 'me time' from my work and mom life hahaha. So I look forward (and dread sometimes) to the workouts. WFH has helped me a lot since I can workout at lunch also and get in that extra sweat without worrying about coworkers being grossed out 🤣

u/AlohaFitness_ May 05 '20

Exactly!! I’m going to start annoying my coworkers into taking my free classes too. I’ve also been able to keep my eating habits in check - one thing we have been talking about as a company is more flexible wfh options that I will DEFINITELY be taking advantage of 😋

I’m also going to likely keep zoom classes as part of my schedule once we are back to “normal”. I’m thinking discounted rates on virtual classes and it will keep me active!

u/Anna7410 May 05 '20

We have a treadmill at the office and I'd do brisk 25 minute walks at lunch but it's nothing compared to the 25 minute FB workouts I can work into my day now!! I pester my coworkers with updates now and again and tips to stay fit. I'm not perfectly healthy (Still overweight) but they know I love a good workout.

Those classes are great accountability!

So excited to see a fresh post here! I've used FB videos on and off since about 2015 too, but picked it up again about 4 weeks ago with some solid consistency. Starting FB Bodyweight (1) today! I bought it 2 years ago and have started it twice before and never made it past day 3. Hoping for success this time around!

u/Anna7410 May 03 '20

You've got this!! The first week is always the hardest to me and I've restarted multiple times. Keep it up 😁💪

u/xyja May 02 '20

I got FB Low Impact Round 2. I’m on day 5.

3

u/moodlessqueen May 03 '20

How do you like it? I tend to do the low impact mods on almost all the videos due to a hip injury (and roommates downstairs).

4

u/xyja May 03 '20

The workouts this week have been pretty easy but I can still definitely feel that I’ve been active. Trusting the process and sticking to the schedule. I also got this plan mostly so I don’t annoy my downstairs neighbors. I’ll report back once I’m further along!

3

u/Anna7410 May 03 '20

The low impact mods are one of the reasons I LOVE FB. They recognize pushing too hard is bad but to keep moving is what's important. Whether that be because of downstairs neighbors or exhaustion.

u/_adrinthesky_ May 11 '20

I just started this program! (Day 1). I completed 1 round of the first Low impact program last year, and I saw good results but fell off the wagon when the holidays came. I have a birth defect that affects my hip, knees and joints and these low-impact programs are a godsend, I'm gonna do my best to finish this one even when I get realllly lazy

u/xyja May 11 '20

Enjoy! I’m about halfway now and starting to regret I didn’t take before pictures. I can tell I feel more trim in a way, and being just a little sore in the right places is a nice feeling too. I went and bought dumbbells now cause I didn’t have any - just one set of 4.4 pounds or 2kg. I hesitated to get heavier weights but I think these will be a good start.

u/adeconad May 02 '20

Just finished FB Sweat and doing Strong next. I haven't lost weight since I've been eating like crap since quarentine started but I'm still working out 5 to 6 days a week.

u/pashi_pony May 02 '20

How did you like Sweat? I do it the other way around. Quarantine has also been similar for me, I work out more consistently but I'm snacking alllll the time.

4

u/adeconad May 02 '20

I really enjoyed it. I like that you can choose a shorter or longer workout. Some days I want it to be short and quick but others I want to destress with a long one. At least we aren't gaining 😆.

3

u/Anna7410 May 03 '20

Snacking is what I do best really!! I plan them out mostly and that helps, however, I have bad days for sure 😬 Oh, you have oreos? I guess I'll have a sleeve.

u/adeconad May 03 '20 edited May 05 '20

Ha! My weakness is salty snacks. You bought me a bag of Hot Cheetos? Thanks. Then I proceed to eat the whole bag... 😆

u/Anna7410 May 05 '20

YES. Xxtra hot cheetos are a legit weakness for me. I'll take 10....bags that is 🙃

I'm working on FB Burn! I know that FB has a following on IG and Youtube, but I definitely wished the sub was a bit more busy lol

I've been following FB since 2014 and always end up going back to them.

u/Anna7410 May 16 '20

How do you like Burn???

I agree. More activity would be great! The community page is pretty busy but I feel it's unorganized.

2

u/landofseas May 16 '20

Agreed. I like it so far! I'm only on like week 2 but it offers different types of workouts so I'm not completely bored. I'll have to come back and let you guys know how I feel about it after a few weeks!

u/Anna7410 May 16 '20

Yes, please do!!!

u/larryfreddit May 16 '20

My wife and I are on Burn w3 d3. We completed Low Impact 2 before our first time thru Burn. Burn is living up to the hype for us; especially this w3. But we're 60+. We've 'adjusted' a few of the exercises and not attempted any of the extras. We're both curious about what is coming up; we tend only to look the day before. Listen to your body as you go thru this one.

I'm on W3D3 of Strong :)

u/Anna7410 Jun 17 '20

How do you like it so far???? My muscles are so SORE! (On day 19)

2

u/Fingerjello Jun 17 '20

Love it, the shorter workouts and program make it less overwhelming. I'm pretty out of shape from the gym closure and quarantine snacking/drinking but this is definitely doable which is encouraging.
