When it comes to working out, I always hear the same old excuse: “I don’t have the time.”
But the truth is that we do have the time—it’s just a matter of prioritizing that time. I get it though, it is hard sometimes to make it to the gym being a new mom can make that little trip even more difficult.
What so many people don’t realize though, is that you don’t need a gym to get fit!
There are so many workout programs that you can do directly from the comfort of your own living room.
At first, I was a little hesitant to go all-in with streaming workouts, but after all, a good workout is a good workout no matter how you’re getting it!
So How am I Working Out Now? With Beachbody On Demand
Beachbody On Demand (BOD), allows you to stream the entire library of Beachbody workouts anywhere you are! Whether you’re at home in front of your TV or on vacation with your laptop or smartphone in your hotel room.
It honestly reminds me of Netflix, but with all the fitness programs you’ve ever dream of trying!
How can you access your workouts?
You have a variety of options to stream your workouts:
- Smartphone
- Tablet
- Computer/Laptop
- Apple TV
- Roku
- Chromecast
And you can use it with or without an internet connection — if you’re going on vacation and don’t know what service will be like, you can download your workouts for offline use before you leave! How great, right?!
What workouts are available with Beachbody On Demand?
Literally, everything… every single Beachbody program ever released from popular throwbacks like P90X and Insanity to the latest workouts from the newest trainers.
There’s also a bunch of exclusive content that you can’t get anywhere else: Like the Beachbody Yoga Studio, pre- and post-natal workouts, and even cooking shows!
A personal favorite during my pregnancy was a program called Active Maternity. All you need is a set of dumbbells to get started in this 4 part-workout series specifically made for expectant mothers! Read more about my experience with Active Maternity
You can find your perfect program by choosing your favorite type of workout:
- Cardio
- Dance
- HIIT
- Kickboxing

Or by choosing your favorite trainer or program duration!
You Can Add On BODi for LIVE Workouts, Too!
Beachbody On Demand Interactive (BODi) is also available as an add-on option! It offers LIVE classes, an opportunity for you to be on the “stage” virtually and get real-time pointers and motivation from the instructor, with new workouts daily from yoga & pilates to cardio & weights, and even cycling with a brand new bike!
It’s the live class experience — but at a fraction of the cost and from home.
With BODi you’ll get:
- Multiple daily live classes to choose from
- On-demand previously recorded classes
- The ability to use BODcast (I’ll share more on BODcast below!)
- Cycling classes (both live and on-demand) with the MYX II Bike (more in this below, too!)
- Access to BODi exclusive programs
- Premium nutrition support with monthly meal plans and recipes
Live classes are a total game-changer – there’s a whole different type of energy and your motivation to keep up with the instructor and push harder is through the roof! But let’s talk about what sets BODi apart…
What is BODcast?
BODcast is such a fun feature that allows you to actually be a part of the live workout! Did you watch the video above? Those people up on the screen working out behind the trainer are a part of the BODcast. You get the chance to receive real-time, personalized feedback, motivation, and pointers from the trainer. How amazing is that?!
What is the MYX II Bike?
The MYX Bike is the first and only Beachbody-compatible home studio bike! Here’s what you need to know about the MYX II.
My Experience With Beachbody On Demand & BODi
I’ve been using Beachbody On Demand exclusively to workout for years now and I’ve never been bored! With so many different workouts to follow along with plus daily live workouts has never been a day when I felt tired of what I was doing!
It’s so easy to use and easy to stay on track! Like I said, I was hesitant to make the switch, but Beachbody on Demand made it super simple to find the right workout and keep on track throughout the entire program!
It gives me zero excuses to skip a workout! Vacation? No problem. Don’t have access to a DVD player? Again, no problem! Don’t have exercise equipment with me? I’ll just find a different workout that doesn’t require any!
And it’s actually fun. The variety that Beachbody On Demand & BODi makes working out seriously fun! If I feel like getting a good hard workout, I could turn on a program like 9 Week Control Freak or tune into a life HIIT class. If I needed something more upbeat and fun there are dance programs like Let’s Get Up. Or if I want to relax I have 3 Week Yoga Retreat or live yoga classes!
It is practical for any fitness level. Because there are so many options to choose from there’s something for everyone!
And the most important: my kids are watching me every day at home and it sets a positive example for them!
