21 Day Fix Extreme

I think this might be one of my favorite programs!  You just can't beat getting such an amazing sweat in just 30 minutes!  The moves are different and changing everyday so you never get bored and after the 21 days I was left feeling stronger and tighter which left me super motivated to continue these results!    I don't own a scale so I can't tell you what the results are there but I go off of how I FEEL and how my clothes fit and I feel amazing and confidence inside and out!!!  I think my favorite workout was Plyo because it was challenging but I could tell such a difference in my leg strength each time I did it!  Progress is what keeps me going!  =)  I also was challenged by using the bands!  Although it was new to me, I got used to it and loved the extra resistance!

Let me know if you have any questions about my experience and I promise I'm going to be better about posting more often so I can share this amazing journey on a more regular basis to help inspire you to do the same!  I have never been happier than I am now simply by focusing on ME!  Taking time to grow in my faith, learn to balance my indulgences, and workout on a consistent schedule is so key!  When I'm feeling good, it makes me a better wife and mom which is priceless!  I'd love to help you do the same so shoot me a message or email if you're interested in learning how you can get started!  

Here's a video so you can preview some of my favorite moves from the program!  Results are guaranteed, who doesn't love that?!?!

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!!

    

Well, HEL-LOOOO Turbofire!

Hi, I'm Kristin and I like to JAM OUT!!  Put some good music on and I will dance like nobody's business!  (I don't really understand that expression but I think that's how it goes!).

In order to workout consistently you have to actually ENJOY your workouts, right!?  I've done Bodypump, T25, 21 Day Fix, and PiYo schedules and I always enjoy them and I do seriously love each one I've done.  But a dance party workout?!  I seriously don't think it could get any better!  Although there is Hip Hop Abs and I'm trying that next so maybe it can get better?  We'll see!  ;)  

Because of the new Beachbody On Demand I've been able to try other programs that I don't own.  Recently I've been doing some of the Turbofire workouts and let me just say...well, wait...let me just show you...

Do you see what I'm talking about??  THIS is fun!  THIS is a workout!  THIS is something I can do everyday and look forward to!  I can't wait to do this entire program and see what results I get out of it!  Cardio is always the biggest mind game for me and is the hardest part of my workouts but cardio like this...I CAN DO THIS!!  =)  

Day 12 of the 21 Day Fix

I have started waking up early and getting my workouts done before my day gets started and I LOVE IT!  There were a few workouts I did super late at night, one at 10:30, and I just don't like doing that!  I feel amazing when I get up and get it done for the day instead of it hanging over my head and me wondering when I'm going to fit it in as things pop up in our schedule!

So today was Cardio Fix and it's a killer!  =)  The Knee Highs in Round 1 are hard and even though you don't have your breath yet, it's time to start the next move so it's tough!  I learned I shouldn't drink too much water during the breaks because their is too much bouncing going on during these 30 minutes!  I really love the skater jumps and the lunges in round 3 are a breath of fresh air!  =)  When she said there was a Bonus Round I was none too pleased but pushed through anyway!  It's tough but I felt great afterwards!

 For lunch I had a delicious taco salad: 1 G, 1 Y, 1 R.

 Later in the day when I was wanting to snack I made some tea instead!  I tried Passion Tea and sweetened it with a little Stevia and honey and it was really good and helped me get through the afternoon without stuffing my face!  =)

That night I got together with some friends and we all went out and got pedicures and then went to my friends house for a fun night in with homemade, organic facials!  It was exactly what we Mommas needed!  We giggled and laughed like we were 13 year olds at a slumber party!  It was so much fun!  We are all in my Challenge Group so we were very good and stuck with healthy snacks and portions!  Wine=Yellow

Be sure to make time for friends who make you better!  These girls definitely do that for me!  

Day 12 down, 9 more to go!!

Day 10 & 11 of the 21 Day Fix

So day 10 pretty much looked exactly like day 9 except the workout was Lower Fix instead of Upper Fix!  =)  I was craving the same foods I ate yesterday so I repeated everything and it was just as good this time around!  Lower Fix was a great workout and not nearly as challenging as I thought it was last week!  

Day 11: Today's workout was Pilates Fix and I LOVED it!!  It too was easier than last week and the stretching aspect of it just felt so good!   I really feel like my habits are changing as I look forward to every workout and don't crave all the junk!  I'm really enjoying all the healthy foods I'm eating and don't feel deprived at all!  

 I of course had my Banana Nutter Shakeology after my workout!  

As a snack today I measured Plain Greek Yogurt in the red container and put it in a bowl and then mixed in cinnamon, apple pie spice and a little honey.  Then I measured berries in the purple and poured those in and it was REALLY good!

Day 10 and 11 down, 10 more to go!! 

Day 9 of the 21 Day Fix

Welcome to day 9!  Today's workout is Upper Fix and in my opinion this is one of the easiest workouts!  I enjoy lifting weights and it's never as tough for me or as much of a mental challenge of pushing through like cardio can be!  So I really enjoy Upper Fix!  =)

 Today's High: Shakeology   Today's Low: Laundry!

 Lunch was so good!  I mixed 1 can of tuna with 1/3 of an avocado and seasoned it with Mrs. Dash salt free seasoning.  Then I put it on a piece of gluten free toast!  There was some extra that I just ate with a fork but it was REALLY good on the toast!

Dinner was lean ground meat, spaghetti sauce, and gluten free noodles!  Good Ole Spaghetti is 21 Day Fix approved!!  YAY!!  

Day 9 down, 12 more to go!!

Day 3 of the 21 Day Fix

Another day down!  After squeezing in a workout yesterday, I decided to make sure I got up and did my workout this morning before my day of errands got started!  

Workout: Lower Fix- I thought it would be an easy day! Lower Fix.  Couldn't be that hard!  I didn't remember it being hard and I love leg day so I got started.  I instantly changed my mind!  This was NOT an easy day, my legs were WORKING!!  I didn't have to wonder if I'd be sore tomorrow...I know I will be!!!  =)  BUT I loved it!  Great workout and I know it will give me the butt and legs I want!  

Breakfast- Chocolate Shakeology shaken with cooled coffee and stevia.  Delicious and just what I needed to start my day!

Snack- Half an apple

Lunch- I put the other 1/2 of my apple in a mug and put it in the microwave for 30 minutes to soften. Then cooked my oatmeal and added the apples, cinnamon, and apple pie spice with a teaspoon of peanut butter! 

 I know the gluten free oatmeal looks weird and gummy, that's because it is or I just over cooked it but it was still REALLY good!

Snack- Carrots

Dinner- Not sure what it's called but it's a soup with meat and veggies over rice.  It was delicious!!!!

Snack- Another Shakeology.

I've found I am really happy when I get to the end of the day and have an extra red container to consume!  An extra Shakeology makes a great dessert some nights!  =)

Day 3 down, 18 more to go!  

Day 2 of the 21 Day Fix

The answer is, YES!  =)  Yesterday I wondered if I would be sore and I am!  Nothing too terrible yet but I can feel yesterday's workout in my calves and abs!  I love being sore!  If I weren't sore I would feel like it wasn't working!  Sore muscles let me know my muscles were doing something they're not used to doing!  

Another day of success!  I had a busy day getting the kids to school on their first day back and then ran a ton of errands!  Another day out and about during lunch called for me to be conscious about healthy options available instead of fast food (details below!).  I stuck to the eating plan all day but didn't have time for a workout until 9:30 PM which made me nervous!  I always try to get up early and get it done first thing in the morning because we all know that days can be unpredictable so getting it done first ensures that it happens!  BUT I got it all done!  I stuck to the program and day 2 was another success!  

Here's how my day looked:

Workout: Upper Fix- some of the moves seemed pretty easy to me but maybe I just need more weights?  I hated the push-ups and planking!  =)  Those were hard for me but I know I NEED them both!  I really liked the scissor twists and I'm sure my abs appreciated the hard work!  

Breakfast: Chocolate Shakeology, 1/2 banana, peanut butter, water, ice (counts as red,purple,tsp)

Snack: Orange 

Lunch: I was out running errands and decided to take my husband and his friend lunch. Nothing was 21 Day Fix approved for me so I stopped by our grocery store and picked up a chicken breast and mixed vegetables from the deli by the rotisserie chickens for only $3.45!  It was delicious and I stayed on track!  

Dinner: Spinach, red bell peppers, cheese with vinegar and olive oil and a lean premium steak!

Another day on track!  Day 2 down, 19 more to go!
