I really enjoy looking at the differences between programs and I've done breakdowns for a few different series, so I've started sharing them in case any of you would enjoy discussing them and adding your own perspectives ♡
Some caveats:
• can't guarantee my data entry is perfect
• does not account for warm-up/cooldown (I often encourage people to pick the ones they like best/have time for rather than the scheduled ones)
• the minutes are rounded
• /day is minutes/day
• videos with mixed focus are split between the categories
• this does not account in any way for actual intensity of the videos themselves, it's purely looking at time in minutes
My thoughts:
• Flat Belly: probably is the most challenging of the three, with the most workout days and the longest workout days. The lack of video variety was extremely difficult for me to deal with, but if you enjoy the videos the program uses or prefer a smaller video pool, this would be a positive! A good program if you don't particularly want to work your upper or lower body (outside of the full-body cardio videos)
• Flat Tummy: the program starts off with 6- and then 5-day workout stretches, which might look intimidating, but they're both broken up by a day with a single 10 min abs video. The first week's schedule kind of eases you into it, which makes me think this could be the most beginner-friendly of the three. This program does have some dedicated upper-body time. The video variety is a little better than Flat Belly with 7 videos in the main pool (plus one extra on the final day)
• Flat Stomach: the first one I did of this series and easily my favorite as I really enjoyed the full-body approach, and liked both the videos used and the video variety. The least cardio of the three, and closer in feel to an Hourglass program with some bonus cardio due to having dedicated upper and lower body videos. One upper-body video does require dumbbells, so I'd suggest doing a different one designed for bodyweight if you don't have dumbbells.
Have you done any of these programs? What did you think of them? Please feel free to share your impressions/experiences, I love to hear them!
