You MUST check out Country HEAT!!!

What IS Country HEAT?

--Country Heat is an "all approach" program. This is literally for ANYONE.
--It is not "intense", it is not weight based, it is not intimidating, it is not choreographed (like CIZE), it is lower impact, it is fucking FUN (excuse my French, I'm passionate lol) and it WILL get people results (I'm proof!)
-- It doesn't FEEL like working out. If you "hate" working out and can never find the motivation to push play in the first place, this is PERFECT!
--It is paired with the EPIC, portion control container/ meal plan, which is where the magic happens! One test group participant lost 60 lbs in 90 days! WHAT?!?
--This is SO MUCH MOREthan a  "country line dancing" program. It is a cardio based, dance fitness program & there just so happens to be country music in the background. (Great country music at that)If you love country music, GREAT. You will love the music selection. If you don't love country music, don't fret. You will learn to love it.
--Country Heat has simple steps that EVERYONE can learn with very little to no practice. You won't waste a single minute trying to follow along because you'll be too busy sweating your BOOTIE off! I'm not kidding, all you people out there with 2 left feet - you'll will be shocked with how easily you pick this up. AND, there are separate tracks on the DVD that walk you through the moves slowly if you choose to do that first.
--There is a MODIFIER. This is especially important for anyone who has past injuries, a lot of weight to lose, bad knees and so on.
--Country Heat is a total "fat burner"!!! In each routine, the pace of the dance moves fluctuate with each song. It has that interval training effect. Heart rate goes up, back down, back up and down again. You'll be melting fat off like you've never melted before.
--Short on time? No problem! Each workout is only 27-30 minutes!
Even if you've never danced in your life, the moves are broken down! You can do this!

SOY: Good or Bad???

Have you been seeing all kinds of contradicting info about SOY? Wondering if you really should AVOID it??? I'm gonna try to answer that for you today :)

Soy is available in many forms that can be divided into the two major groups of unfermented and fermented. The unfermented soy products are the most problematic, especially the genetically modified crops sprayed with pesticides. Even the purely organic unfermented soy is being called into question nutritionally, however.

Unfermented soy products include tofu, soy milk, soy ice cream, soy burgers, and edamame. This is also what you find in PROCESSED FOODS- good luck finding them without it! Unfermented soy contains anti-nutrients which are natural toxins or potential toxins. These include hemagglutinin, goitrogens, phylates, isoflavones, toxic levels of aluminum and manganese, and extremely high levels of the hormone estrogen.

Adverse health effects possibly associated with the anti-nutrients in unfermented soy are inhibited growth, digestive disorders, pancreatic problems, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, autoimmune thyroid disease, inhibited iodine metabolism, infertility, breast cancer, red blood cell clotting, increased vitamin D requirement, vitamin B12 deficiency, altered menstrual cycle, and the laundry list of health issues caused by monosodium glutamate (MSG).

What really bugs me is that the soy (especially soy milk, edamame and vegan alternatives to cheese are promoted as GOOD) :( Just looking around at shelves, especially at my favorite HEALTH food store, would make me believe I should be eating lots of soy.

Fermented soy is a different nutritional item altogether. Most of the issues in unfermented soy are eliminated through fermentation, although the possibility of suppressed thyroid function remains. The thyroid calls the shots for a lot of different bodily functions and directs traffic for hormones so you want a properly functioning thyroid. If you don’t have thyroid issues the key recommendation would be moderation, even if you are consuming fermented soy.

Fermented soy products may include:

• Tempeh is a type of fermented soybean found in solid, cake-like sheets that can be cut into any size you'd like.  
• Natto is another type of fermented soybean that is shaped in smaller, bite-sized chunks.
• Miso is a thick, fermented paste that is sometimes made from soybeans.
• Pickled tofu which can also be called tofu cheese. Regular tofu is not fermented so you have to be sure the product is pickled. Watch the labels for unwanted chemicals and preservatives.
• Soy sauce, but not all brands are fermented.

After the cloud of negative news the silver lining is that fermented soy is a great source of vitamin K2. This is essential for preventing osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and diseases of the brain such as dementia, and protecting you from various cancers including prostate, lung, liver cancer and leukemia. So weigh the odds when deciding if you will exclude soy from your diet.

I think it is safe to say that unfermented soy products should be avoided. The fact that 91% of soybeans raised in the United States are GMO is reason enough to leave them out of my shopping cart. Fermented soy products seem to be ok as long as their consumption is limited, but I’ll be honest, none of those on that list look like anything I care to be eating anyway! ;)

What do I recommend???

• READ your labels and avoid anything with SOY in the ingredients.
• REPLACE soy sauce with a healthier alternative- I love coconut aminos
• Ditch the edamame.
• Pay attention to what you order at restaurants- those yummy teriyaki and Asian dishes are usually COVERED in soy sauce!

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!
