Les Mills Combat:Week 1 Results

So I recently ordered Les Mills Combat and started it on Monday, February 4th. I am LOVING this workout. Definitely a new favorite. It's a mixed martial arts workout by Beachbody featuring all the best BodyCombat instructors from around the world. I really look forward to my combat workouts every day and can feel some changes happening in my body. I'm excited to see my results after finishing this 12 week round. If you want to know more about the program, check it out HERE!

Along with my Les Mills Combat workout (6 days a week), I'm now also drinking one Shakeology a day in lieu of one of my 5-6 meals a day. I typically drink it as a pre or post workout meal. I was very hesitant to supplement in any kind of way for a very long time because I wanted to be able to say that I did it the "all natural way." I realized that there's nothing wrong with smart supplementation. Shakeology IS ALL NATURAL and since I've started drinking it, my digestion has become regular and, I'm no longer a zombie if I don't drink coffee in the morning. In fact, I haven't had a cup of coffee in like 2 weeks! I just realized that right now. It's been super helpful for me in a sense that I need the extra calories to fuel all the working out I do. It's also a really no-brainer way for me to make sure that I'm getting my vitamins and "eating" (well, drinking) a nutritious meal.

The third part of my current fit plan is weight-training. I'm lifting weights 4 times a week, targeting 2 muscle groups a day (except on leg day, which has it's own day because it's INTENSE). I do 4-6 different exercises. For each exercise, I do 6 reps of 5 (I lift a heavy enough weight so that I can ONLY DO FIVE. If I hit five and feel like I could've done even one more rep, I move up in weight). I'll be doing that for 4 weeks, and then after that, another 4 weeks but at 6 reps of 3 (heavier!!!). I'm really excited to see some real changes in my body with this.

So yes, Les Mills Combat+Shakeology+Weight-Training=My current Fit Plan. Oh and I'm also doing this February squat challenge. Increasing amounts of squats daily, no added weight (just body weight, and either all at once, or all at once in sets of 20,30, etc.). Seriously, I'm going to keep up with my blogging. SERIOUSLY! Lol.

I've also recently become a Team Beachbody coach which I am THRILLED about. I have been using their programs/products for so long and have had so much personal success with them. I felt it really was time for me to pay it forward and to begin reaching out to others who may benefit from hearing my story. I know a lot of people hope and pray and wish for it, and I really want to be someone who can uplift them and encourage them to work for it! It can be done!!
