Fitness for Mind, Body and Spirit

Welcome back to Fitness for Mind, Body and Soul! Today we are objectively reviewing the website, Daily Burn. We are not affiliated with Daily Burn in any way. So right now they are offering a 30 day free trial which includes full access to their workout videos and programs. You can also add a trial for their nutrition program. But before you jump right in, please read our review. First of all the good parts. The workouts and exercise program is excellent. I highly recommend it and I feel it is well worth the $10 a month that you will be charged after the trial period. The exercises are all presented in high quality video that is unique to the website. They use professional trainers and they offer various levels and modifications. The videos also have little challenges that you can record during your workout and these can earn you rewards. I love the trainers, they are all excellent and the videos are presented in a way that shows you exactly what you are doing and for how long. They also have the videos in various programs, which you can utilize or you can use the discover tab to select something different. There is a lot of variety and the exercises are perfect. Now the bad.. The nutrition program called Ignite is not the greatest. It requires people to give up almost everything you can imagine. So no sugar, no gluten, no salt, no artificial sweeteners, no carbs, no dairy, no soy, no wheat, etc. etc. etc. It is downright unrealistic for most people. Pretty much what it leaves you with is a diet consisting of their protein shakes, which are about three times the cost of similar products and they claim that they are the only ones to offer shakes with none of the above ingredients. This is untrue although it is harder to find shakes and powders that do not contain whey or those that do not mix with milk. Harder, but not impossible and similar products are just as good and much easier on the wallet. Anyway if you can follow the very strict diet on the Ignite program, you will loose weight. The problem is that almost no one can follow it and when you are allowed to return to those foods, their is no determination as to which of the dreaded ingredients is a problem for you. Our recommendation is that you try eliminating one of the ingredients at a time and see how your body reacts. A lot of people have allergies to things like gluten, which can cause inflammation and make you gain weight or at least appear bloated, but try to isolate the problem and maintain a balanced diet.
