Country Heat--Weeks 2 & 3

Well I can't believe it's already time for Week 3! Wow, that went fast. I had a super busy last few weeks, and therefore missed posting my updates on Week 2, so I'm combining them with week 3.


I enjoyed learning some new dances over the past few weeks and I can tell you that my CORE is getting stronger and stronger. I am amazed at how much the dance moves work on your core. I am super excited that I have lost 2 more pounds and 1 1/2 inches. That makes a total of 6 lbs and 4 1/2 inches, I'll take that.

I honestly look forward to getting my workout complete each day because it is so much FUN! And I think I am actually getting a little more coordinated. :-)

This week I am really focusing on meal prep. I have a new challenge group that is kicking off and I want and NEED to get my nutrition dialed in.

Check out my meal prep for the week. I made my lunches and snacks. I have shakeology each day for breakfast, and dinner is something healthy the whole family will eat. I am traveling this week for work, so I hope to make good decisions.

I know meal prep is KEY! I am excited to have the guess work taken out for the next 5 days. I also wanted to share an awesome recipe I made tonight from the Country Heat Meal plan.

It was super delicious! The combination of avocado, lemon, dijon mustard and the tuna, on top of the portabello mushroom was AMAZING!!!

I'm looking forward to week 4 of this FUN program. If you have questions or want more info, please let me know. You can check out my journey at my page here: https://www.facebook.com/toneupfitnessandnutrition/

Country Heat Week 1 Review!

Country Heat Week 1 Review

Good morning! Guess what?!?! I'm officially finished with WEEK 1 of Country Heat! Yee Haw!!! and WHEW!!!! It has been a busy week, just coming back from Summit and getting back to work with schools starting in many districts. 

Did you know Country Heat has become the #1 selling Beachbody Challenge Pack? I'm not surprised after trying it! It even beat out 21 Day Fix!!!! 

Ok I have to admit I was excited about the new program but was a little doubtful.... I was skeptical because I was worried how a dance workout would bring great results. I do love Country Music, I'm not much of a dancer, but this is so much FUN! I am not disappointed at all of this program and my doubts were soon turned away when I saw my results from Week 1!!!! Blown away!

So let me tell you a little bit about Country Heat! For the first week the focus is on two workouts: Country Swing and Giddy Up. You do each workout 3 times and both are about 30 minutes in length. There is an option to watch the 15 minute move break down before beginning, and I would high suggest this! It allows you to learn the moves before diving into the workout. 

The songs in Country swing are from singers Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Frankie Ballard, Billy Currington, and Thomas Rhett. Some of the steps you learn are the Grease Step and the 2 Timing Hop. Check out my video...and remember I am a work in progress! 

Giddy Up is a super fun workout. The Country artists it features is Dierks Bently, Gretchen Wilson, Eric Paslay, Mikel Knight, Big and Rich and Jill Johnson. In this workout you will learn moves like Rocking Horse and Mules Kicks! Seriously, this is SO much FUN!!!

Check out my video: 

I would say overall I can say that these workouts provide great results and make you feel like you are not even working out! You get a great cardio workout and I can say that my core has gotten stronger....so exciting! I see now why the test groups got such GREAT results.

If you have been in one of my groups before you know that I always say 80% of your results when it comes to a fitness program come from your NUTRITION....that's right, what you put in your mouth! You can dance your little heart out for the program but if you aren't meal planning and tracking....the results aren't gonna happen and that's just the truth!

SO take time to meal plan and be prepared. I love taking time on Sunday to plan for my week. It does take some time on Sunday but saves time for the rest of the week. The colored container meal plan really works, and this program uses that too!

So that's my summary of Week 1. If you have read my review and feel this is something you'd like to try, reach out to me. I'd love for you to join me. 

My next test group starts on August 15th------> I've only got 2 MORE SPOTS LEFT!<-----

And here is my most exciting news.... I lost 4 lbs and 2.5 inches in Week 1!! Say What?!?! I know, I am so excited bring on Week 2!
