Inches Lost and New Perspective Gained

Inches Lost and New Perspective Gained!

This past Tuesday I completed our 30 day Country Heat cardio dance workout program.  I’ll admit that I was skeptical when Beachbody released sneak peeks to us.  If you had told me that I would ever complete a cardio dance workout, I would have laughed in your face and told you that you so far off!  BUT I knew as a Coach, this program could be the perfect answer that some people needed to begin their journey into fitness and healthy eating.  I also knew that this program could potentially renew someone’s interest in fitness and help them get back on track with healthy eating.  So I knew that I needed to try this for myself!

SO I committed to completing the entire program, for 30 days and did not miss a single workout!  I also committed to getting my own nutrition back on track after a couple months during the summer of more travel than I had ever done!  Country Heat comes with a super simple and super effective portion and clean eating system that I knew would be perfect to get me back on track!  My clean eating had suffered a bit over the June & July!  I didn’t do too terribly bad during the trips, but I can always tell when I’m eating more foods that aren’t home cooked and when I’m eating more sugar than I’m accustomed to eating.  My pants were a little tight after the exciting 2 months.  My stomach is the first place that I see weight gain and I could definitely see the weight gain!

But even though I had committed to this dance cardio program…I was petrified!  I knew that I didn’t know how to dance…at all!  And I also knew that I post accountability videos on my social media pages, and I was scared for people to see me!  



Even through all of this, I committed, pressed play each day with all of the workouts and kept my nutrition in check.  I committed to eating clean 80% to 90% of the time and still allowed myself to have a few treats here and there.

Check out my week 1 review here


Each workout was SO much fun!  It didn’t feel like a workout at all!  It felt like I was actually relaxing, letting loose and enjoy myself.  And man oh man did I need these 30 days!  
So on to my results!  Over the 30 days of this program I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED every second of the workouts – I had SO much fun dancing!  And even though I didn’t find the rhythm that I was hoping for, I DID relax more than I ever have during a workout!  I was perfect for me and this program came to me at the perfect time!  I needed it!

Here are my results – with clean eating about 85% of the time using portion control containers AND the dance workouts… I lost a total of 4 inches!  I lost 1 inch off my waist, 1 inch off my hips AND 1 inch of EACH of my thighs!  And I have new muscle definition in my legs!  How cool is that?!?!?  



AND my NEW PERSPECTIVE!  Working out CAN BE DIFFERENT FOR ALL of US! 
The BEST part of my results is the new perspective that I’ve gained.  Country Heat taught me how to relax, how to have fun and how to let loose during my workouts!  It also taught me that ANY of us CAN get a GREAT workout WITHOUT going extreme and without following a typical “workout” program!


No worries, I’m ready to share this program with you!  I’m here to answer any questions that you have about Country Heat!
