Beachbody LLC is an American multinational corporation that designs and markets fitness, weight loss, and muscle building home-exercise DVD's. The company's best-known product is Tony Horton's P90X, whose TV ads have become some of the most frequently run infomercials in the United States.[2]
Selected products
P90X
P90X is a 90 day workout regimen developed by Tony Horton, that claims it can significantly improve fitness in three months through intense physical training. P90X's advertising emphasizes "muscle confusion", a method of cross-training and periodization achieved through switching the order of exercises and incorporating new and varied movements.[3] Muscle confusion supposedly prevents the body from adapting to exercises over time, resulting in continual improvement without plateaus.
Insanity
Insanity is a workout regimen similar to P90X in that it claims to improve fitness in 60 days through strenuous stamina training. Developed by Shaun T., Insanity's advertising emphasizes "max interval training", a method of exercising during which one works out strenuously for 3-4 minutes and then rests or "cools down" for approximately 30 seconds before starting the whole process over again. This is essentially a reversal of traditional interval training, during which participants exercise rigorously for 30 seconds and then cool down for 3-4 minutes.[4][5][6]
Hip-hop Abs
Hip-hop Abs is a workout/dance routine that claims to significantly improve one's abdominal area through lightweight hip-hop dance moves. Hip-hop abs claims to be a relatively painless way to lose wait and sculpt abs; it advertises "you never do a single crunch." In 2007 it was the highest-selling workout video in the United States.[7]
Dietary Supplements
Beachbody LLC markets a line of dietary supplements for use with its workouts. The company markets these products through television infomercials, websites, workout DVDs, and through a network of coaches who receive commissions on their sales.
