22 Minute Hard Corps! Get Some and Get Done!


Beachbody is at it again. They launched a brand new home fitness program that is going to blow your mind!! They started out with programs like P90X that were over an hour long each day. Then, they created 21 Day Fix that is only 30 minutes daily, T25 that is 25 minutes daily and now we are taking it to a whole new level. 22 minutes a day... yes you heard me right! In just 22 minutes you can get some seriously rocking results with Tony Horton and ME as your coach!

CAN YOU REALLY GET RESULTS in 22 minutes a day????

YES MA'AM or SIR you can! It is all about focusing on the workout, pushing yourself to your max, dialing in your nutrition and following the plan and of course the most important part~ having SUPPORT and ACCOUNTABILITY from your Team Beachbody Coach {ME} and the rest of the challengers in the group. There is something comforting from knowing that you are not the only one out there struggling, having a bad day, or a slip up with your nutrition. It's know to know that we are all in this together! We are getting "bootcamp fit" with 22 Minute Hard Corps.

Basically every excuse you have for not getting in shape is invalid because I had 2 kids, I lost 40 lbs and I was going through some serious struggles including my own health issues and the grief of loss. I am a full time, corporate working mom that works long hours.  Oh did I mention the 3 horses, chickens and 1/2 a farm?! But I MADE it a priority and FOUND a way because I WANTED to change more than I wanted to stay the same!!

When I started my journey it was January and I wanted to improve my health, relieve stress and grief.  But lets be honest too, I wanted to get in shape for summer!!  You don't just lose all the weight in 30 days when you decide you are ready! So if you are reading this then you should START now because this is a sign!

If you want to get lean and stronger then this is for you! No matter what your ability level is you can modify to make the program a success for you. You can do anything that you put your mind too.

So what is 22 Minute Hard Corps anyways??

So it was created by Tony Horton who also is the creator of P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Power 90 and more. It is a mixture of eight routines that alternate between total body cardio & resistance 1 workout a day for 6 days a week. The workout is fast paced and there is little rest. The workouts are easy to pick up and learn. You are moving from exercise to exercise quickly to maximize time and results.

What Equipment Do You Need?

Dumbbells or pull up bar (or resistance bands with a door attachment). The harder you work the faster that you grow!!!

I know you might be thinking that you can't do this workout, but you CAN. It is for everyone and even in the sneak peek workout I did today there were modifications for every ability level which I totally love!

The program is 8 weeks in length, 6 days a week, 1 workout a day for 22 minutes! YOU CAN DO THIS!

What will you get with this program?

• 8 challenging workouts on 2 DVDs
• Quick Start Mission Guide
• 8-week Basic Training Action Plan
• Rations for Results Nutrition Field Guide
• Cold Start pre-workout drill
• Hell Week Challenge Card
• HARD CORPS: Battle Buddy Workout DVD (Network Exclusive)

So who is this workout for?? People who don't have a lot of time to spend working out in a gym.

People who want fast effective results with little or no FUSS.
There is also an optional 2 a day hell week challenge if you are up for it!

So now is your time, do you accept the challenge?

Clean Coffee + 5 Key Benefits of Coconut Oil


I'm sure you could NEVER have imagined putting coconut oil in your coffee before.  Neither could I! But, I realized I am really sensitive to dairy products.  So after a cleanse I decided to try alternatives to dairy creamer that still made my coffee rich. Just 1/4 teaspoon in my coffee and blended makes a fantastic cup of joe!!

This one was a winner and on the flip side- coconut oil has so many benefits I've practically broken up with EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) all together!! These are my top 5 reasons I've converted.  You can use it to cook with as well at hight heat!


1.  Good Fat! MCT's (Medium Chain Triglycerides) in coconut oil doesn’t contain your average run-of-the-mill saturated fats like you would find in cheese or steak. Medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently. They go straight to the liver from the digestive tract, where they are used as a quick source energy or turned into so-called ketone bodies, which can have therapeutic effects on brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.


2. Burn More Energy = Burn More Fat! The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil have been shown to increase 24 hour energy expenditure by as much as 5%, potentially leading to significant weight loss over the long term.

3. Keeps you feeling full longer! The fatty acids in coconut oil can significantly reduce appetite, which may positively affect body weight over the long term.

4. Cancer Prevention & Treatment. Coconut oil has two qualities that help it fight cancer. One, because of the ketones produced in it’s digestion. Tumor cells are not able to access the energy in ketones and are glucose dependent. It is believed that a ketogenic diet could be a possible component of helping cancer patients recover.

5. Build Muscle! MCFAs aren’t just good for burning fat; they are also great for building muscle. The MCFAs found in coconut are also used in popular muscle building products like Muscle Milk™.
