21 Day Fix | Barre Legs

Written by stacey on . Posted in Fitness. Leave a Comment

Holy Cats! We opted for Barre Legs instead of our scheduled Lower Fix today and WOWZA that’s a heckuva workout! These 30-minute workouts are the real deal and, when combined with the portion control provided with the kit, are getting us real results.

We haven’t done this workout yet and this particular one comes with the Deluxe 21 Day Fix Package.  Whenever I get a Beachbody Program, I always get the Deluxe Deals because the extra workouts are my favorite.

Let me touch on something here that I haven’t really touched on in a blog.  Working out with another person can really help you bring your A Game.  It’s something fun to do together(lots of laughs as you can see), it allows you to be pushed harder with someone watching you, and it can bring a relationship closer.  So try it out!  Have your spouse join you, your kids, a sister or brother, a friend…ANYONE!  🙂 If you cannot get someone to join you in the same room you’re in–no worries! We have groups of people that are doing the same workout, workout the same time of day, have similar goals, or are in your same state–all waiting for a partner to “workout with” virtually.

We opted to mix it up this week and YouTube together vs. separately. Which do you prefer?

21 Day Fix|Day 2

Written by stacey on . Posted in Fitness. Leave a Comment

The 21-day-fix is a 21-day program that involves portion control, regular exercise, and sound nutrition. Simple to follow and very eye-opening.

Today’s workout was a killer with Upper and then Autumn threw in Abs just because that’s how she rolls.

My food is packed for today with the right tea and let me tell you-I am feeling tougher, stronger and leaner all ready!

What are YOU waiting for?  How simple is it to make the decision to do a program that takes out all the guess work in what to eat and which workout to do?

Send me a message and let’s get started!!

21 Day Fix | Day 8 Doing it Together

Written by stacey on . Posted in Fitness. Leave a Comment

Trying something different this week.  Gregg and I are doing our Youtube Videos together to see if we can serve you better.

Today is the first day of Week 2 of the 21 Day Fix and I’ve been mostly successful following the food plan–the group as a whole is rocking it.  Yesterday, Gregg noticed that I am slimming on my sides which is important for me.  Gregg has lost 6 lbs in a week and can fit in a pair of jeans he couldn’t last week.  We did have a few cheat meals and cheat drinks but it is what it is; sometimes, that happens.  The important thing to remember is you have to keep going and get back on track.  It is unrealistic for you to be completely perfect and sometimes life happens.

Embrace It…Refocus…Get Work Done!

Today is Total Body Circuit and well let’s just say it’s a little bit of hell wrapped into 30 minutes.  It was an awesome workout though 🙂

Here is the thing to remember…we both have both been where you are.  We have both battled the battled and walked this journey.  We have gotten down to sub temp body fat and now where we are at above our comfort level.  Now, working back down to our goal weight.

I say all that to tell you that it’s okay to start where you are.  Work at it and keep going!

21 Day Fix | Upper Fix | Follow The Plan

First things first-let’s talk water.  Water is a very important part of any fitness program but especially if you are looking to lose weight.  Since I am all about simple, I am going to lay it out here.  You need to drink about half your weight in water.  So if you weigh 150lbs, you would drink 75 ounces of plain old clear water.  It’s that simple-take your weight and divide by half.

Autumn’s nutrition plan is the key focal point in this 21 day program. I know most people get a little nervous when they hear about the nutritional aspect of any diet, but you can feel confident because she does make it fool-proof.

When you purchase the 21 Day Fix, you will get portion-controlled containers to measure all of your food. And (even better), Autumn outlines everything so you don’t have to do any kind of mental work. Just fix, go, and eat. What I like about the program is she realizes that the goals behind the program are not-short term and she does allow you to work with chocolate (AND WINE!). The behaviors learned in the 21 days should become habits you can continue as a healthy lifestyle.

No weighing, measuring, or counting calories, carbs or points.. If it fits in the container, you can eat it.

Why are you still reading? Why haven’t you ordered yet? 🙂

 

 

 

21 Day Fix | Total Body Cardio Fix

Written by stacey on . Posted in Fitness, Traverse City. Leave a Comment

You can do anything for 1 minute right?  This is what is amazing about this particular program.  Autumn created this workout to literally work you but keep your body guessing.  T he actual workout consists of 4 rounds with  2 different movements in each round that you perform for a minute each with a 20 second break in between and then repeat.   THE 20 MINUTE BREAK IS AMAZING

You’re doing 8 different movements in this workout. Sounds simple… and it is. No crazy movements… just crazy muscle working!! She starts you off busting your butt from the very beginning. You need a set of weights  and a mat if you’re on a hard surface because the fourth round is actually focused on the abs so you will be on your back.

Wow! Even though it is only thirty minutes but sure gets it done! I am down pounds and inches and it has only been one week. Portion control, regular exercise and good food are making great gains with my body.
