Country HEAT Results....

Ok so I know y'all have heard me say this before, I was a little skeptical about the results this workout would provide. I'm used to a hard core workout and this to mean seemed like a workout that would be fun, but maybe not provide great results. BOY was I wrong.

The first thing I loved about the program was that it follows the colored container plan, like 21 day fix. This to me works well and I definitely needed to dial in my nutrition. Summer time had me off track with my nutrition.

I absolutely LOVED the recipes in the meal plan. Some of my favorites were the baked beans and the turkey/sweet potatoe stir fry.

The music was awesome, and I loved the moves. It was super fun, and even a lot of fun to do with others. The workout goes by quickly.

Some things I learned from this program.
-You sweat.
-You're sore- especially my CORE.
-Once you learn the moves, you end up having so much fun, the time flies by!
-CORE work-twist, turn, and shimmy.... great cardio!

So now I do not doubt this program. I would encourage others to try it as well. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone and commit to this FUN program.

My results: I lost 6 lbs and 4 inches.

My nutrition is now back in check, and I've now committed to Hammer & Chisel with some Country Heat here and there for FUN!
