The final RAMP UP

Leave a comment

It is “EASY” to workout for 30 minutes or 45 minutes or even 60 minutes a day.

The “HARD” part is controlling what you put in your body the other 23 hours.

I was told that in my very first challenge group over 3 years ago and I have never forgot it — and I share this with my challengers often BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE!!!

We are quick to think to ourselves “but I worked out I DESERVE this treat/drink/fried amazingness – but my friends this is where you undo all the hard work you’ve put in!

And with the RAMP UP approach in The Shift Shop – its the nutrition as much as the killer sweat sessions that drive those jaw dropping results!

So what goes down in week 3:

This is where everything comes together. You are working out at your peak while eating your cleanest. Starchy carbs are eliminated to make way for your best results—and although it’s a challenging week—you can help ward off your cravings with Shakeology, the superfood supplement shake designed to support your nutrition goals without sacrificing results.

While I follow Plan A and my hubs follows Plan D – you can see the meal plans are SIMILAR its more the quantity of food that differs!

We’re excited to push ourselves this final week and really feel the full impact of the Ramp up approach IN THE SHOP!

And just like that 8 weeks flew by and I found myself 56 days down the road since I began my journey with 22 Minute Hard Corps.

Before I start any new program I take the time to sit, reflect and set some goals.

Then, naturally, comes the evaluation stage when its all said and done.

Sometimes I crush them. Sometimes I fall way short and others its right on the line.

I’d say these ones fell right on the line.

I lost 1.8 pounds & just shy of 2″ around my waist.
I see more definition in my core and arms and feel leaner.

I quickly saw the immediate results of when I chose clean, healthy food choices vs. when I didn’t. I am getting to the point where the crazy out of control cheat meals just aren’t worth it! I do much better when I avoid the gluten and steer clear of the dairy!!!

On the upside I am able to pound out more pushups than ever before but fell short of that dang pull up goal #someday

All in all I am happy with my results. When you boil it down, we enjoyed the Easter holiday, our little man’s 3rd birthday, a few friend parties, a Baptism, the Buccos opening day, Mothers Day, a Pens playoff game and found balance in it all!

My nutrition was far from perfect…and while my goal is usually 80/20 I’d say I fell more along the lines of 70/30. But I enjoyed the ride! And that’s just it – its a PROCESS!!!

I was excited to share in this journey with all of my challengers and look forward to seeing what the next challenge brings!

People kept asking me: Would I recommend this program?

Truth is – I think it is a great program to do – but not to get started with.

The 22 Minute length is amazing but a lot of the moves are challenging.

I have been consistently working out for over 2 years and found myself modifying more often than anticipated. A lot of my new challengers who started with this program found themselves struggling. That being said – others who had already completed programs like Insanity Max:30, 21-day fix, PIYO, etc… enjoyed the change up, shorter length and challenge this program brought.

In the end it will depend on you and what you like.

But if you’re wondering if this program can help you reach your goals…chances are the answer is YES!!! 

I am happy to add this to my library and look forward to dabbling back to these workouts, even the dreaded Cardio 3 on those days when I really do just have 22 minutes to spare!

I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and share in my journey.

It can be hard putting myself out there on social media but I do so each and every day in hopes to some how some way inspire someone with my words and actions!
