I’m going to begin with what this workout program isn’t. It isn’t easy. It isn’t a walk in the park. It’s nothing like the boxing workouts that we all know from way back. And it isn’t for everyone. I just knew that Burney was going to enjoy this program, but he didn’t like it at all. He tried 3 workouts and decided that it’s not for him. I understand this because every program that we release is not for every person.
Now, on to why I’m so excited to workout with this program each day!
The workouts are challenging and hard work. Each move is explained so we all begin the workouts with good understanding of what’s to come in the workout. It’s physically and mentally demanding, IN A GOOD WAY! The punch and kick combinations force us to think about and concentrate on how our body is moving and how our muscles are working. We do have a modifier in each workout when we need to take the intensity down a notch with any of the exercises. It’s a bodyweight workout, so no equipment is needed at all!
This is an amazing workout for our bodies as well as our minds. The two trainers who created this workout have combined moves from kickboxing, boxing and Muay Thai workouts along with bodyweight training and cardio conditioning to produce the most effective MMA-inspired workouts to help us all achieve our fitness goals. The entire workout focuses on our core with each move, this is what we call the 360-degree core training concept. This 30 day program (or longer because I’m going to want to complete another round!) is a total body transformation program that is going to change the shape of our bodies.
When I began, I was concerned about the length of a few of the workouts because I love 30 minute workouts. There are 8 total workouts in the weekly rotation and we follow a workout schedule provided with the program. Workout length ranges from 27 to 47 minutes with one active recovery day each week. Now, I honestly believe that each and every one of us will be able to make time in our day for a workout, even if it’s 47 minutes. These workouts are so much fun, the time just flies by. And each workout is broken down into 3-minute “rounds” just like a boxing match, then you have a short break and move on to the next round.
The nutrition component of this program is SIMPLE and based on eating healthy, clean foods in the proper portions. The nutrition guide is basically like the 21 day fix nutrition concept, and is easy to learn! During weeks 2 and 3 we bump up our calorie intake slightly because demanding workouts require that we fuel our metabolism with enough food to keep our bodies in fat burning mode!
My personal thoughts from week 1:
- I LOVE the mix of boxing, kickboxing, bodyweight training and cardio, it’s fun and keeps my muscles guessing.
- It’s hard, but not so hard that I’m frustrated and just want to give up. The modifier gives me options in each workout when I need a little break.
- This workout makes me feel strong and in control as I’m focusing on my muscle movement in each exercise.
- This workout is great therapy and stress relief for me!
- This program is just what I needed to renew my “try harder” mojo! I’m back on track and trying even harder to achieve my goals!
- This holiday season, I’m going to be feeling my best, have more energy and enjoy myself even more!
The nutrition guide come with some great, simple recipes to help us all have the best results possible!
Condiments can be so unhealthy for us and full of sugar, this recipe is a great alternative that’s also simple to make!
Here is one of my favs from Core De Force – Maple BBQ sauce!
