Changing It Up!!
ChaLEAN Extreme!
After yesterday's blog post and realizing that I have been on one program since March -- I've decided to try a new program thanks to Beachbody on Demand!!
I have already completed T25 (alpha and beta), 21 Day Fix, PiYo, and 21 Day Fix Extreme. I have not been disappointed with a program yet. I have loved every trainer that I have "worked" with for different reasons.
After hearing so many great things from fellow coaches about this program I am going to give it a go and I am so excited to try ChaLEAN extreme!!!
I have printed out my workout calendars (basically my schedule for what workout to follow) and am pretty pumped. I am a little nerdy --thanks dad! -- and also read up on some of the guides and info out there on it and am more pumped!
While I will forever have a girl crush on Autumn (21 day fix and 21 day fix extreme trainer) I cannot deny that Chalene Johnson is super inspiring. When doing PiYo I fell in love with her attitude. She is so uplifting, motivating, and inspirational. I have been thinking about rocking a program for her ever since I finished PiYo and decided its finally the time to commit. No time like the present!
The thing that has been holding me up for a while on starting this amazing program was.....

TIME!
That's probably not what you were expecting, right? I know it sounds crazy but I was sold on the fact that all off the previous programs I have done have only been 25 - 30 minutes. {Ok so - PiYo had one 45 minute day and I always dreaded it!} BUT 30 MINUTES -- I can do that. I get up, walk puppy boy, work out, shower and head off to kinderland with my shakeology in hand and ready to tackle the day.
I get up at 5:30 which depending on your view could be early, but honestly getting my workout in first thing helps me to stay on track with the rest of the day and ensures I get it in even if it is a long day in teaching land.
I sat down today with the workout calendar in hand -- looked at the lengths of the workout and am going to commit to making it work. Am I going to have to get up 10 - 15 minutes earlier some days.....yes. On the longer days that put 2 workouts together I plan on doing the longer one in the morning and then the short one when I get home (after my second walk of the day with puppy boy --- he might be a little spoiled by my many walks).

But you know what? It will be totally worth it! While I may be sad about missing those 10 -15 minutes of sleep I know I am doing something for my body. You only get one body to live it you might as well take care of it. Maybe I need to go to sleep a bit earlier on those longer days to make it work, but I am willing to try.
I will be sharing my journey through this program with you all so be sure to check in and see how it goes!
I am putting my before on here right NOW so that I am sure to give you updates as I go and hold myself accountable!
So here is to a new change, a new program and a new week!!
