22 Minutes to Fitness! Week 2 Review

Week 2 Hard Corps in the books!

22 minute hard corps, fitness, chin up, workout
Resistance 2 moves – finished with a high five for myself!

22 Minute Hard Corps is total body!! Phew! Fitness programs are all different and many focus on a single area at a time. 22 Minute Hard Corps workouts are total body workouts in 22 minutes a day! Resistance 2 has turned out to be my favorite so far! It’s interesting how some exercises have the rep count go up with each set, while others have a decreasing rep count. It’s working for me!

Resistance 1 consists of 5 exercises done in 3 sets. The reps vary for each move, but because the time is so short, 30 reps still doesn’t seem like much. Well, except for the push-ups!  I’m still using the resistance band for pull-ups, but have adjusted my form some to hopefully be able to transition to the bar soon!

Resistance 1 Exercises with the rep counts

  • Push-ups (25, 20, 15)
  • Sit up punches (30, 25, 20)
  • Chopper lunge (14, 18, 20)
  • Squat thrusts (15, 20, 25)
  • Pullups (15, 12, 8)

Nutrition!

I like working out in the home gym and I have also loved working out – in the kitchen! I tried a new casserole this week with quinoa. I ended up topping it with some shredded cheese and hot sauce for extra flavor. I also went with a standby because I had chicken, tomatoes and zucchini at the ready! Chicken Zucchini Margherita recipe here!

Week 3 here I come!

Week 3 includes the Easter holiday. The food isn’t a big deal for me because I am not really a ham eater which is usually served at an Easter dinner. The issue for me is the CHOCOLATE! I’m going to do the best I can, plus I know I will be detoxing on the Monday after with the 3 day refresh! I’m not going to totally indulge, but I am also not going to deprive myself.  Here is my meal plan for the upcoming week.
