What is 22 Min Hard Corps?

          

           

            When it comes to taking a fitness journey, it is important to find a workout, eating style and routine that you can live with on a daily basis. After I was introduced to Beachbody (officially), I knew this company had just the answer for that. There are a wide range of programs to tickle whatever fancy you may have. Whether your poison be cardio, strength training, toning up, more flexibility, athlete performance training, dancing, or strictly yoga, there is a program out there for you. I knew when I heard about 22 Minute Hard Corps that is was going to be a program that I enjoyed, and would help me improve my overall fitness, while improving my performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test.

                This program was crafted by the exercise master, Tony Horton. He traveled around to spend time with various military organizations to put together a program that was not only short, but highly effective, and BOY did he do just that. This program will have you wanting to tap out, but at the same time asking for more. It is a fast pace circuit workout that will elevate your heart rate to a good fat burning level, while also improving your strength and endurance. It is comprised of the basics such as push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and crunches, but also throwing in total body movements such as burpees and gorilla crawls. Each workout is designed to hit your body from every angle in order to maximize your time and effectiveness of the program.

                My personal experience with this program was far from perfect, and had its ups and way downs. I went through the first few weeks of the program on autopilot it seemed. I was doing the workouts, but wasn’t fully incorporating the meal plan. I just wasn’t giving 100% focus and dedication to the program, so I decided in week 3 to just start fresh, and give it my all. The new start was great for me. I was more focused and dedicated than before, and I was ready to see what results I could achieve with this great program.

                I fought like a champ, and conquered 22 Minute Hard Corps. I was letting the scale get in my head, and it was starting to derail me toward the end, but I dropped my excuses and powered through.  I was more than happy with my results that you see below!! I lost 4 lbs, but the visual results are what really impressed me!! This further proves that the scales lie!!

                Finishing a full program is very satisfying, and helps build confidence. If I would have just quit in Week 3 instead of recommitting, I would have destroyed my confidence, and possible derailed my entire journey. We must wake up each day with a renewal of our commitment to ourselves and our family to become a healthier, happier person!! NEVER QUIT, NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT!
