Intent of Fitness Program

The Get Real with Shaun T fitness program is targeted towards young people and intended to emphasize the importance of exercise and healthy eating habits. The fitness program is designed to provide you with educational information from The National Institute of Health and with two workouts that will work both your cardiovascular system and promote moderate increases in strength though light resistance training. The Get Real with Shaun T fitness program is not specifically designed to induce a large amount of weight loss or strength gains, as it is mainly an introductory fitness program.

The Get Real with Shaun T fitness program includes the following:

• Cardiovascular Workout
• Strength Workout
• Healthy Snack Ideas Booklet
• How to Read Nutrition Labels Guide
• Workout Calendar

Primary Areas Worked

The Get Real with Shaun T fitness program's primary focus is educating pre-teens and teens on the importance of physical activity, exercise and healthy eating. The fitness program is a collaboration between Beachbody and the National Institute of Health, and is designed to provide information on healthy eating habits and nutritional tips.

The two workouts themselves are primarily aerobic in nature. They are performed at a moderate intensity level and consist primarily of continuous movement routines that involve shuffling, half-squats, hip twists, alternating lunges, jogging in place and a few kickboxing-oriented moves. The routines are designed to elevate your heart rate level, improve your cardiovascular endurance and exercise all of your major muscle groups.

Program Length/Frequency

The two Get Real with Shaun T fitness programs last approximately 30 minutes in duration each. Both of the exercise routines are video/DVD-based, so they can be performed whenever you like. The Get Real with Shaun T fitness program includes a 30-day calendar outlining which workout should be performed on which day. Given that there are only two workouts, the schedule is rather straightforward.

While the workouts are designed for you to exert energy at a moderate intensity level, it is recommended that you perform more than 30 minutes of exercise or physical activity per day. As a minimum, you should perform one 30-minute workout per day, 5 to 6 days per week.

Effectiveness/Results of the Program

It is unknown as to how how effective the Get Real with Shaun T fitness program is for its target audience. There are practically no anecdotal reviews of the fitness program, and the 15-to-19-year-old fitness program demographic is not a particularly large market in regards to video/DVD-based fitness programs. You should expect to obtain modest returns in weight loss, cardiovascular endurance and strength. The workouts themselves are performed at a moderate level of intensity, and the program is designed as an introductory-level fitness program.

Equipment/Space Requirements

Both of the Get Real with Shaun T fitness program workouts are performed while standing. There are no ground exercises so the fitness program does not require an exercise or yoga mat. The strength workout is best performed with weighted gloves or a light pair of dumbbells, which are not provided within the fitness program. You will need only a moderate amount of space to perform the exercises, as nearly all of them are performed within a 5-foot area. 4K 2160P Blu-Ray Movies Download

This being said, the Get Real with Shaun T fitness program is really oriented towards pre-teens and younger teenagers.
