Shaun Week Has Been Extended

Shaun week was intense, in the best way possible!  I truly loved it and it was such a great combination of cardio and weights!  Now they've decided to extend it to a 30 day plan that also involves rest and stretching...THANK YOU!!!  =)  I saw my body changing in just 7 days with these workouts (even my hubby noticed the changes!!) so I can't wait to see what a 30 day schedule will do for me!  

Here's what it looks like:

I will be following this schedule now that my Shaun Week is over but I'm starting another one on June 26th if you'd like to join us!  Everyone is at different stages of their journey! Some are just starting and she are halfway through their journey and some are just working to continue to improve and get stronger and healthier everyday!  Together- we support and motivate one another and have a great time!!

I LOVE this quote because it's so true!  After this 1 week you will feel better, happier, more energized and motivated than ever before!!  Don't believe me??  Try it!!  😄

Shaun Week Day 7: Dig Deep

Day 7

Dig Deep

27 Minutes

Shaun Week is DONE!!!!

Hey maybe since it's the last day after 6 intense workouts Shaun will let us rest a little?  

Maybe a little bit of yoga and stretching or something for the last workout??

No sir!!

Not Shaun...he finishes it out by digging deep!

This workout consists of a warm up,  then there's 14 moves and you do each move for one minute before you cool down!  Sounds short, sweet, and to the point but man does it test you and your ability to focus and dig deep to finish off a few more! 

Today was Father's Day so I did the workout at my in-laws house after church, before lunch!  I would have normally skipped it and used the excuse that there was too much going on BUT I had a group of women doing this with me and I had to finish off strong with them!  I would not have done today's workout if it weren't for them.  I am so thankful for those girls and this AMAZING week of workouts!

This week blew my expectations out of the water!  I can't wait to keep these workouts up with the new schedule he released because I'm already feeling changes in just these 7 days!  

Thank you Shaun T!!!  BEST WEEK EVER!!!  

Shaun Week Day 6: Speed 4.0

Day 6

Speed 4.0

31 minutes

When you commit to something,

challenge yourself,

and accomplish it, 

not perfectly,

but just do your best...

change happens on the outside AND the inside!

This workout is non-stop cardio.  I might have wanted to cuss at him a bit but my christian values were stronger than that temptation (barely) and I held it together!  I did often say, "Are you serious?!?" but pushed through and conquered day 6!  Another day pushed to the limits and another day that I proved myself I am capable of so much more than I think!

I rewarded myself with Halo Top Birthday Cake Ice Cream!  It was my first time trying this brand that I've heard so much about and it was DELISH!!!!  So dang good and I enjoyed every bite!! 

Life is too short to not have dessert!  

Shaun Week Day 5: Ripsanity

Day 5

Ripsanity

43 minutes (it goes by so fast!)

Weights needed. 

I used 15 pounds most of time, occasionally 8! 

It's not everyday that you do a workout that brings you to tears!  I know that sounds silly and if I were on the outside I would probably be thinking, 

"Pull yourself together, good grief, that's ridiculous!"  

But thankfully I'm not on the outside.  I'm in the middle of it, it's a part of my life and my career revolves around it...the community of people coming together to push play on the same workout and encourage one another, the amazing trainers that push me out of my comfort zone and help me realize I am stronger than I ever knew before, the endorphins after, and the happiness it brings me when I'm done and I've accomplished it!  

Tears come.  

It's crazy and it's amazing!  This week has been so much more than I ever imagined!

I know you won't be sorry!

Shaun Week Day 4: 25 Abs

Day 4

25 Abs

28 minutes total

Day 4 and who knew you could sweat so much just working your abs???  Oh that's right, Shaun T doesn't ever just work one body part!  This workout focused on the entire core but works your whole body!  I think this is my sweatiest week EVER and I have loved every second!!  Everyday I am literally excited for what the next day's workout will bring!  Stronger everyday!  Check out a handful of the moves from today in the video below!  

 Sweatfest!!! 

I'm going to be doing Shaun Week again and again so if you want to join me one of the weeks I do it, comment below or send me an email at kristinkfitness@gmail.com with the subject title Shaun Week.

Shaun Week Day 3: Insane Weights

Day 3

Insane Weights

33 minutes

Need a set of light weights (5-8 lbs) and heavy (10-15) 

DONE is better than perfect!! 👌

It ain't always pretty but I'll always get it done!  👊 I thought weight day would be a nice little break but I should've known that Shaun's version of weight day includes cardio and working the core the entire time!   There are some tricep push-ups at the end that were so tough!! It is totally fine to slow down, modify, or look like you're dying!  😬 😆

Day 3 is done! Best week ever!! ☀️

I told you it's not always pretty!  haha!!! 

Shaun Week Day 2: Pure Cardio 2

Day 2!!

Pure Cardio 2

29 minutes

Another day and another workout to kick my booty!!!  I took my laptop to the driveway and did my workout outside this morning!  The breeze feels amazing and I have 5 kids sleeping inside the house and it was so quiet I couldn't risk letting all my jumping around wake anybody up!  I love that I don't have to wait for them to wake up, get someone to watch them, or drive to the gym!  Working out is hard enough to fit in and having it to do at home makes it so much easier!

The physical transformation is always fun but what is even better is the stuff that goes on in the inside...

• More energy
• More confidence
• Shift in mindset that teaches you that you're capable of so much more than you thought!
• Feeling of accomplishment that leads to a more productive day.
• Fewer cravings
• Happier...hello endorphins!!
• Better sleep
• Improve memory
• Learn to set and achieve goals

Just to name a few!  =)

Today's workout was short but hard...knowing it was short helped me to push my hardest and get the most out of the workout!  There is a modifier so you can do that the whole time if you need to or go full out as long as you can and then instead of stopping for a break, switch to the modifier when needed!  Here is a preview and I wish I had more moves to show you but my phone ran out of space...of course!  But let's just say, things got intense as it went on!  Burns so good!!

If you want to join this week of workouts or one of my future groups with this program just comment below or send me an email at kristinkfitness@gmail.com  I'd love for you to join us!!

Shaun Week Day 1: Insane Basics

Day ONE!!!

Insane Basics

33 minutes.

I have been so excited about Shaun Week!  It's not about a before and after picture or crazy weight loss...it's about 1 week of giving it all you got, growing as a person from the inside and realizing you can do SO MUCH MORE than you thought you were capable of.  You can decide, commit, and succeed!  This challenge will lead to motivation for another challenge!

👊

I hear, "I don't have time." "I work long hours." "My kids don't let me." "I don't have your motivation."

Conquer the mind!! 

You have to realize that you succeed FIRST in your mind before your body follows through. If you are training your mind to think you CAN'T do something, they your body NEVER will. I could only do 2 pushups and put off trying Insanity for an entire year before I finally realized my mindset was the only thing holding me back from growing and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. Your limitations are ALL in your head! You can do it...You just do what you CAN on day 1 and each day you will find yourself getting better and better!! Conquer the mind and you will be unstoppable!!

Day 1 of Shaun Week is DONE!!!    I LOVED it!!  He progresses each move so you start with the basics and gets more intense as it goes on.  I was a sweaty mess and the first round of leg work hard me shaking!  I can't wait for the rest of the week!  How did you like it?  Tell me in the comments and I can't wait to read about your experience!!  We've got this!!!

CIZE PREVIEW

So throughout the month of June I had access to the new workout program by Shaun T that is coming out on July 20th.  It has been SO MUCH fun to learn choreography and dance again and you have so much fun doing it you totally forget you're working out until the end when you're covered in sweat!  =)

So what happens when you know all the dances?  Is it boring?  Is it still a workout?

NO it's not boring and YES it is a workout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After I had done that workout tons of times I decided to start putting it to different songs and it was a blast!  I would literally do about 5-10 different songs back to back and be drenched in sweat afterwards!  Such a fun workout!  Take a look below and let me know if you're interested in joining me!  I'm looking for 20 women to join one of my Fitness Accountability groups so we can dance the pounds away together, share recipes, have a meal plan and reach our goals!  Join by leaving your email in the comments or emailing me at kristinkfitness@gmail.com  I would LOVE to help you reach your goals!!
