22 Minute Hard Corps Test Group

22 Minute Hard Corps is a no-nonsense, 8-week boot camp style workout program designed to deliver epic results. Created by legendary trainer Tony Horton, 22 Minute Hard Corps offers 8 total-body cardio, resistance, and core routines for getting in shape in minimal time.

Who should buy the program?

Anyone looking to buy a comprehensive, total-body fitness program without overly complex moves. It's ideal for those who prefer shorter workouts such as P90X3 and T25; those looking for a more challenging, intermediate level workout after completing P90 or 21 Day Fix; and those who are not ready for an extreme fitness program. Anyone who craves a simple, flexible nutrition plan to help them reach their goals should try 22 Minute Hard Corps.

What is the difference between 22 Minute Hard Corps and P90X/P90X3?

P90X and P90X3 are 90-day extreme fitness programs. Both programs provide an extensive variety of fat-burning, muscle-perfecting moves that continually challenge the body and are considered advanced workouts.

22 Minute Hard Corps is a shorter, intermediate level program that has total body routines to improve overall fitness. It is inspired by the tried and true methods of boot camp fitness programs and uses a military-style cadence to provide an intense workout in only 22 minutes.

Hammer and Chisel Results Month 1

Here they are!!! My one month Hammer and Chisel results!

One month following Hammer and Chisel- at home, before the kids get up, lifting weights. 

In college, I LOVED lifting weights- didn't have a CLUE what I was doing, but I loved it 😉

As soon as I heard about this new program, I knew I had to have it! It is TOUGH, no doubt about it! But it is also AMAZING! 

I'm feeling the healthiest and strongest I have in a long time! I have not been perfect- I've had cheat meals! But I have worked out exactly following the plan and my nutrition has improved drastically! 

And, wait for it... I GAINED two pounds! Not exactly what I was expecting, but I can really tell in my legs and arms that I'm putting on muscle! I'm starting to see a LITTLE booty and some obliques, which I could NOT be happier about! 

If you have been really looking to transform your body and become he healthiest and fittest version of you, I HIGHLY recommend it! And you will NOT do it alone! I would love to be your coach, walk with you every step of the way and include you in our support and accountability group!

Thinking about that Superbowl party and wondering how you'll ever manage to stay ON TRACK with your healthy eating??? Make these to take or just to have at the house so you FEEL like you're indulging but you're really NOT ;)

These are DELICIOUS! Really! And healthy! I try to avoid gluten, so they're perfect for that! On the 21 Day fix, they're a YELLOW of course- totally worth it! Straight out of the FABULOUS Fixate cookbook! :)

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup          organic grass-fed butter, melted (or coconut oil)
2                    large eggs
1/2 cup          pure maple syrup (or raw honey)

1/2 tsp.          baking powder
1 pinch          Himalayan or celtic sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Line 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

5. Evenly spread batter into prepared pan.

I actually used an 8x8 pan which made them a little thicker- perfection! My 3 year old LOVED these! Anything that passes the toddler test I consider SUCCESS! ;)

Almond crusted chicken

Y'all know I am LOVING our newest program, Hammer and Chisel! The AMAZING recipe came straight out of the book that comes with this program so I had to try it!!! This is a monthly if not biweekly recipe for us now!

Ingredients:
6 (4 oz) raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup almond flour
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon peel (lemon zest)
1/4 tsp. sea salt ( I use Himalayan salt)
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
11/4 cup water
1 Tbsp. olive oil (or EVOO)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. Hold it flat with the palm of one hand and, with a chef's knife in the other hand, carefully slice it in half horizontally (parallel to the cutting board). Repeat with all chicken.
3. Place each chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or tenderizer until 1/4-inch thick (or about twice the original size). Set aside.
4. Combine almond flour, garlic, lemon peel, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish; mix well. Set aside.
5. Combine egg and water in a shallow dish; whisk to blend
6. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture; dredge in almond flour mixture until evenly coated. Set aside
7. Heat oil in large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Add chicken breasts; cook for 3 to 4 minutes
9. Place skillet in oven; bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast reads 165 degrees.

Container equivalents: 1 RED, 1/2 ORANGE, 1/2 tsp

We usually eat with a salad, but roasted veggies are great too!

Shakeology while pregnant or nursing

I get asked ALL the time about the safety of shakeology while nursing or pregnant since I am currently nursing my one year old little girl while drinking it! I have had shakeology every day since I was nursing my son at 8 months old. I drank it while nursing him until he was 2 1/2 years old, through my pregnancy with my daughter and now while nursing her. I have personally never had any problems with it and my doctor approved it excitedly, with the recommendation of taking extra folate. Shakeology is going to deliver more absorbable nutrients than your typical prenatal vitamin will so it's great to get the nutrition you need, and especially helpful for mamas experiencing any sickness. I even drank shakeology in the hospital after delivering June! ;)

Drinking my shakeology the day June was born

That being said, the ONLY thing some nursing mamas find is that they need to drink the vegan formula if their babies have any suspected lactose intolerance so make sure to keep that in mind when choosing your flavor. Check out this awesome video for more info!

I am so PROUD of you for wanting to drink shakeology to get your healthiest meal of the day while pregnant, and being concerned about your HEALTH, not just weight loss. I encourage you to ALWAYS do your research for ANYTHING you're putting in your body to make sure that you are FUELING your body and your baby with the healthiest foods possible!


I do have a doctorate, but I am not an OBGYN and every situation is different, so always consult your doctor. If you need a full list of ingredients to share, message me at stephaniecook722@gmail.com. I love to talk to other moms about the importance of staying healthy and happy!
