The term “bikini body” has been used throughout history to describe females that are generally lean and well-toned, and to some, this is really the holy grail of female aesthetics.
Jen Ferruggia is an online fitness influencer that says her workouts are perfect for achieving this aesthetic. Let’s see if she’s being honest.

Is your gym a grueling 30 minutes in traffic from your home? I just wish you could do the workout at home and still get the same results.
A promising idea and the trainers over at Beachbody have supposedly designed the perfect at-home workout plan (Just Bring Your Body) – or have they?

Then again, we’ve yet to see a Shaun T program we’d call “easy.”
Insanity Asylum (Vol. 1) is almost 30 straight days of unrelenting training purgatory. (OK, that might sound a smidge dramatic, but many agree that Asylum gives Insanity a run for its money.)
This athletic-based program requires an insane amount of mental willpower, strength, and stamina. Shaun T even dubs these speed, agility, balance, and coordination-heavy workouts the “hardest” you’ll ever try … which is mildly terrifying considering he cooked up the OG Insanity.

With a badass name like “Hammer and Chisel” and Beachbody elites like Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese coming together for a collaboration, H & C seems like the most logical next step.
The before and after pictures are envy-inducing, and, from the outset, it looks like 60 days from now, you’ll hit the trifecta: shed weight, gain mass, and look beach-ready.
But we’ve been down that road before.
If you’re taking the first step in your journey or want to plan the next chapter after P90X or Body Beast, here’s everything you need to know about Beachbody’s Hammer and Chisel Program.

Insanity Max 30 is yet another high-intensity Shaun T program and one of the latest additions to Beachbody’s Insanity franchise.
But do these ridiculously tough 30-minute workouts really guarantee the “most insane results of your life,” as Shaun T suggests? Is it worth trying?

Any boxing superfan will tell you that surviving ten rounds in the ring without a K.O. is the mark of an elite prizefighter.
And, if you’ve caught wind of the 10 Rounds boxing-centric workout program, you might have a few questions buzzing through your mind.
Joel Freeman is ripped (there’s no disputing that).
But was this the program behind his bulky yet cut physique? Is it a fun way to stay active, or will it leave you in beach-ready shape? Does it actually shed stubborn body fat like the ads suggest?

Do you want to get ripped like a prison inmate?
If you’re interested in learning how to train with only your bodyweight (prison inmates don’t always have access to weights and equipment), then keep reading to find out more about the Convict Conditioning Routine, the workouts and progression based on the best-selling book by Paul Wade.

A bodybuilding legend launches a routine, swears it inspired his record-setting IFBB run and promises a stage-ready aesthetic physique (if you don’t call it quits before 16 weeks are over).
Sounds tempting, eh?
Well, these programs are almost always letdowns.
Their “hacks” are dumping $300 into weekly groceries, training for 90 minutes a day, hitting the genetic lottery, and — of course — decades’ worth of vein-popping muscles owed to PEDs.
Mike Robertson’s Built By Science 6-Week Muscle-Building Trainer is almost the polar opposite. Short. Realistic. Science-based. Tons of potential.

8.0/10
Quick Review:
This 29-week program can completely transform your physique, offers modifications for all skill levels, and puts a more exciting spin on traditional training. However, the platform’s layout is a little difficult to navigate, there’s timed locked content, and the lack of nutritional data could cause confusion. Overall, if you’re burned out by regular weightlifting and want to build a Greek God physique the old-fashioned way, Cali Move’s Body Transformation Basics program is a solid choice.
| Experience Level | Beginner |
| Program Length | 29 Weeks |
| Workouts/Week | 2-4 |
| Training Style | Bodyweight/Calisthenics |
Pros:
Cons:
Historians trace the art of calisthenics — or bodyweight exercises — back to ancient Greek gladiators preparing for the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
Now more than 2,500 years later, calisthenic training is still one of the best ways to improve all-around strength and sculpt what many coin the “Greek God physique.”
Cali Move’s Body Transformation Basics is a 29-week beginner program featuring calisthenics progressions to increase strength, muscle size, and total-body stability.

8.6/10
Quick Review:
Sean Nal’s Body Transformation Blueprint is one of the best bodybuilding guides that we’ve seen thus far. Wedged into its 1,000+ pages are a well-laid-out workout guide (beginner through advanced), cookbook and meal plan, and detailed supplement know-how. The ebooks are a little bloated and the lack of scientific-backing despite Nal’s research obsession is concerning, but the program is well worth the investment.
| Experience Level | Beginner |
| Workout Days | 3-5 |
| Home/Gym | Gym setting |
Pros:
Cons:
“Body Transformation Blueprint” has a nice ring to it, and not only because it sounds like a long-awaited Matrix or Inception reboot.
But rather, it targets what 49.3% of us crave — weight loss — and what nearly 60% of us completely and utterly neglect — resistance training (or gains).
Sean Nal’s Body Transformation Blueprint is an all-natural bodybuilding program infusing complete diet, exercise, and supplements overhauls.
The body recomposition “trifecta,” if you will.
But is this 1,000+ page, six-part plan as legit as its badass coined name? Or does it merely fall into the stigma Sean Nal so desperately tried to avoid (gimmicks and fads)?
Let’s uncover what this massive ebook beholds and whether it’s legit.
