We Are 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge GRADS!

So today my father and I completed 60 days of the 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge. That's eight straight weeks of military-inspired boot camp workouts and clean eating along with Shakeology.

This was the first challenge that I've done with my Dad, and I would have to say that I enjoyed every minute of it. We kept each other motivated even during our bad days. We kept each other accountable when we started to feel burnt out and tired. We worked out through some of my minor injuries in which I had to modify at least 3-4 workouts. I traveled a bunch during our 60 day challenge, but worked out in hotels, gyms, parks, and even in other peoples homes. We just didn't make any excuses, we just got it done. Was it tough, heck yeah! Do we feel amazing? ABSOLUTELY!

Here are some of my Dad's results:
- He lost 10lbs
- Lost almost 2 inches off his waist
- He went from only doing 10 push ups to 25 push ups
- He went from no pull ups to 3 pull ups
- He has gained better endurance, and the functionality of the movements has helped him become more productive with his restaurant
- His craving for junk food has diminished immensely
- He has created new habits for clean eating
- The completion of this challenge has boosted his self-confidence
- He feels young again!

Not bad for being 71 years young!

Here is what I took away from the challenge:
- I gained 5 lbs of lean muscle mass
- My core is much stronger, I managed to get some of my abs back, still need more work on the lower portion =)
- I went from 15 pull ups to 22 strict, I think I can do more now =) This is post injury.
- My legs are more defined and stronger especially during mountain climbing and running
- I am back on point with my daily workouts since coming back from Europe for almost 3 months
- Nutrition is back on point
- Endurance level is almost back to race performance
- I am ready for the next challenge!

So without further ado, here's our last 22 Minute Hard Corp Workout Accountability Video:

FREE P90X Hybrid Workout Schedule for OCR - Obstacle Course Racing

For all of you Beachbody and OCR Enthusiasts! I have combined some of my own ideas along with the help of some of my TOP elite athlete friends to bring you a great OCR Hybrid Workout Schedule using hundreds of P90X workout variations.

Please note that this 30 Day Challenge is geared towards intermediate and advanced fitness levels. But if you consider yourself as a committed beginner, then why not give it a go! The workout schedule was designed so that you can do up to 3 rounds (months). It's best to do this during your off-season, but the workout schedule can be easily customized to your race week, just simply move the workouts around, and go hard or easy on your workouts depending on the intensity of the race.

Free Online Coaching from Me - Click here!

The equipment required for this challenge are multiple weights and a pull up bar. Other equipment such as a training mask, sand bag, and weight vest are optional, but highly recommended for best results.

Recommendations:
- Dumbbells or BowFlex Select-Techs
- Pull Up Bar
- Training Mask
- Beachbody PT Sandbag, Wreck Bag, or make your own
- Hyper Vest, or any Weight Vest that snugs close to your body, the less bulky the better.

Please always consult your physician before attempting a workout program, and I encourage you to listen to your body. Pushing yourself past your limits can be dangerous, so I encourage you to know your limits or choose a program or challenge that is best suitable to your current fitness level.

Day 6, Week Eight - 22 Minute Hard Corps | Cardio 3 + Core 2

This is the FINAL COUNTDOWN of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge!

To give you a little summary of what I think about this program, I would say that it is the perfect program for anyone who is interested in getting lean, lose weight, build endurance, and gain some core strength. This program can definitely be customized with gaining some lean mass by using a bit more weight, and a heavier sand bag such as a "Wreck Bag". As with any Beachbody Workout, it's also a great program to incorporate into your existing workout routine, as well as OCR training if you are training for an obstacle course race, or mud run.

Would I recommend this program? Absolutely, but always keep in mind that it is best to seek a program that is targeted to your goals and current fitness level. If you are not quite sure which challenge would be best for you, feel free to message me here, and I will send you a Free Fitness Assessment and provide you with options or what I like to call it..... a visible path.

Delete anyone from your network who doubt you! PERIOD.

Day 3, Week Eight - 22 Minute Hard Corps | Resistance 2

Ok this is going to be a very short post ha ha, but I just wanted to share some good news with you and let you know that my pull up strength was ON POINT today!

Just to give you a quick story, I actually injured my elbow mountain biking a few years ago, and it would hurt so bad while doing any type of pull up movement. Before the injury, I was able to crank out about 28 strict pull ups, and my goal was to get at least 30, and then guess what happens =)

Do you love Beachbody and Obstacle Racing?

Join my FREE Accountability Group! Message me here

Anyways, since starting this challenge, I feel that my pull up strength is getting much better. I still want to stay safe because I would hate to re-injure my elbow, so I am just doing what I can. After I complete my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge, I will post a video on how many pull ups I can actually do, so I'm pretty excited about that. If I could hit 20, that would make me happy!

Anyways, lots of things to do (like EAT lol), so just wanted to share my workout accountability video, see you all tomorrow =)

Day 2, Week Eight - 22 Minute Hard Corps | Cardio 3 + Core 2

I was feeling a bit under the weather today, but I did what I could. It's actually pretty tough for me to slack on my workouts, but here's the kicker...... I procrastinate a lot, so it may take me awhile to workout, but once I'm in, I am ready to kill it =)

I definitely find it to be more productive to workout earlier in the day because it leaves me a lot more time to go about my day and stick to my schedule when it comes to business tasks. My issue is that I will get so involved with my online coaching business, that I will actually pile on more tasks to delay my workout =) Anyone else do that?

BUT THAT'S ON MY LAZY DAYS! 

On my good days, I somehow just wake up and automatically start my day, sometimes putting my shoes on before I eat breakfast secretly preparing for a morning run, and then later doing my workout shortly after.

I'm human. I'm not trying to impress anyone =). Staying fit and healthy is still a challenge for me on certain days, but what I've found to be very helpful is finding an accountability partner who will keep me in check. I'm so blessed that my father decided to do this 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge with me, because everyday he asks me, "what's our workout for today?", and something simple as that really keeps me on my toes. Do you have someone to keep you accountable?

Ask me about my Free Online Accountability Group exclusively for 

Beachbody Workouts and Obstacle Course Racing Enthusiasts

Today's workout was Cardio 3 + Core 2, and my Dad and I recorded our last round of the Cardio 3 workout on Facebook LIVE, so that is what I'll be sharing on this post =)

Anyways, thanks for following my fitness journey, and if you are ready to start your own journey, I'd love to help you. I work with all fitness levels and goals, so shoot me a message here, and I'll chat with you soon =)
