Even though it's my second time doing this program, flipping this DVD pack over to month two is producing lots of feels - in addition to the soreness in my hams/booty from yesterday's cardio.
Best way to describe how I feel in the morning before pressing play?
Terrifyingly excited.
Time to kick my tabata UP a notch.
From 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off....
To 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off....
Here goes!!!!
30 minutes. That's 2% of my day. On my own time. From home. NO excuses!
My OFFICIAL results photos from completing 22 Minute Hard Corps as an official test group member!
This is what 5 pounds and 8.5 inches lost looks like!!
Feel free to SHARE these images, but do not remove my watermarks!
This program is my JAM.
It marries cardio + weights for just 22 minutes a day.
It provides a simple meal plan that allows me to eat without starving & focuses on portion control of whole foods.
I can get INCREDIBLE results in just 8 weeks, without paying a dime for a gym membership or leaving my house to workout... oh and I can take it WITH me when I travel.
It's not a magical, over night solution that you can pop in a pill form or wrap your body with.
It's a program with fitness & nutritional TOOLS that you can back with daily HARD WORK to achieve absolutely amazing results.

To say the feeling is surreal doesn't seem to totally capture this moment.. I literally just finished my final hell week workout (3rd of the day) during my 9 week journey through 22 Minute Hard Corps & I've got to get a little reflective for a moment, y'all.
.
A little over 9 weeks ago, I was 1 of about 40 men and women (out of 400,000) selected to be a part of an official test group & complete this program before it launched. Opening that initial invitation email, I was COMPLETELY overwhelmed with gratitude for being CONSIDERED and then GIVEN this opportunity..
.
I mean, talk about a once in a lifetime sort of opportunity, right?!? To be challenged to do my absolute BEST every day, to document my experience truthfully & offer feedback. To ultimately get RESULTS that will INSPIRE someone to potentially change their life. Gosh... It's been a PRIVILEGE that I haven't taken lightly for a MOMENT.
.
So here I am, 9 weeks later. The gap between then & now has been filled with sweat, determination, many struggles & accomplishment. I can say that #22hardcorps not only made me lighter and leaner physically, but stronger and more dedicated mentally! I'm so PROUD of my efforts & EXCITED to use my knowledge and experience to better serve the women, present & future, in my Gracefully Balanced community.
.
Here's to Tony Horton for being an AMAZING trainer. And here's to the rest of my amazing test group for being an amazing system of support, motivation & friendship.
.
Don't doubt yourself & DON'T doubt this program.. Go ahead. Jump ALL in & #GETSOME

Official hell week results: UP 1 pound & DOWN 1 inch.. fat is melting & muscles are forming!!!
And here's a sneak peek of my 8 week transformation. The OFFICIAL test group photos I took will be up THIS WEEK!!
Y'all.
.
I'm still totally mind blown, not because I underestimated the program, but because I underestimated myself... I am so PROUD of how far I've come over the past 8 weeks.
.
Y'all, 4.8 lbs and 8.5 inches are GONE!
.
Almost HALF of that number was from my mid section alone, which is ALWAYS a challenge for me! I kind of can't believe that I can see ABS!
.
My arms are TONED and my shoulders have made their presence know.
.
My legs have definition I've never seen before.. Hello, thigh gap!
.
But let me tell you what I'm MOST proud of.. I'm proud of what I gained rather than lost.
.
I gained a whole group of FRIENDS from my test group who supported me through highs and lows. Who provided solution and motivation EVERY step of the way.
.
I gained a sense of CONFIDENCE.. That I could stick to not only a fitness program but 8 straight weeks of a nutrition plan. Some of you know how HUGE that is for someone that battles emotionally driven eating.
.
I gained STRENGTH physically AND mentally. Our minds are usually the first part of us to check out and want a break or to quit. I was able to SILENCE doubt & tell my mind that I CAN and I WILL finish!
.
I gained the sense of structure and BALANCE that I was craving so badly. I have a routine now that I can maintain and sustain. This wasn't a race- it's a LIFESTYLE! And I'm NOT stopping now!
.
Trust me when I say, 22 minutes a day could COMPLETELY TRANSFORM your life and body... You must simply DECIDE to change and back that decision with ACTION. You don't need to be perfect, you must simply do your personal BEST each and every day.
.
So while I'm celebrating these 8 weeks of Hard Corps I just completed & the results I achieved, I am ready for hell week (starting today) and can't wait for round 2!!
.
This program deploys March 1st and you've GOT to try it. You are SO much more capable than you realize.
With this being my FINAL week of 22 Minute Hard Corps & the LAUNCH only being 6 days away, I figured it was time to answer a few questions and let you know a little about what you can expect with this program.
22 Minute Hard Corps is a quick, relentless & EFFECTIVE workout program created by the one and only Tony Horton. The workouts are made up of total body, functional fitness moves that will exhaust MANY muscle groups in just 22 minutes a day.. Seriously.. 2 2 m i n u t e s .
This program is efficient and challenging. The meal plan is simple and easy to follow. ANYONE, I mean anyone can do this program y'all.
I can't WAIT for you to see the results of both men and women of ALL ages, backgrounds and starting points. We've got test group participants who have had heart attacks and transformed their lives & are getting SHREDDED. We have folks who were over weight keeping up with the workouts and LEANING out. We've got people in their 50's kicking BUTT every day.
It's truly amazing what you can do from home, in less than half an hour, with minimal equipment, while following a professional who keeps you motivated the entire time.
HALFWAY through my final week before I document my results this weekend & then start with the optional 9th week called "Hell Week" (full of double and triple workout days!). Wish me luck!!
