I started the 6 weeks program after meeting with Kevin & writing down my goals. Coach Pam provided…read moreme with a nutritional plan to follow including a breakdown of daily consumption, foods to eat, foods to avoid, & a grocery list. The first week, I was logging in my daily meals on the Wodify app & Pam was giving me feedback as to what improvements to make to help me achieve my goals. As far as the nutrition went, this program took care of all questions. They also provided me with a cook book of recipes which included a protein pancake recipe that I have been eating every day for the past 3 weeks. It is full of protein, flavor, & keeps me from having to snack before lunch plus, it's a pancake yum! Other resources for nutrition included travel tips, meal prep, & restaurant cheat guide. As far as coaching & workouts, Coach Carter took time every day to design our workouts ahead so we could see the workouts before class so it takes the guessing & nervousness away. Once in class Coach Jenn, Coach Chandler, Coach Pam, and Coach Carter made sure to explain, demonstrate, & have us practice each movement before the workout. I like the amount of time we spent warming up & getting the right movements before the workout & how fun, do-able, yet challenging each workout was. It's not repetitive so you're constantly fighting the muscle memory. My most intimidating moment was flipping a 150lbs tire- I did it 15 times! Next workout, I went for a 170 lbs. tire- great full body workout. I didn't even know how much you can get out of a kettlebell until joining this program. I even bought my own to workout at home using the at home workout tips, exercises, & 7 minutes in heaven workout they provided for days I could not make it to class.
First week, I felt as if this was beyond my capabilities. Working out 3 days a week felt very difficult, but by week 3, I completed 4-5 workout days in class. This is very do-able, you just have to believe that you can do it & put your all into it. Everything is scale, so you work at your own pace, but still challenging yourself. The progress really shows- by week 3 everyone in class was running the 200m and more than half was running 400m. The coaches have been awesome & very helpful. The Facebook group is phenomenal. Everyone is supportive- sharing recipes & coordinating workouts. I am much slimmer; lost 7.2 lbs. and 6.3% BMI which has made a huge difference for my shoulders, arms, and abdomen. It's a program that works if you do the work. Here is a log of my progress:
