Insanity and Focus T25 Hybrid

When I finished my first round of Insanity, I had combined feelings of accomplishment and frustration. I felt like my fitness honeymoon was over and I didn't know what was "next." After doing some research on the the internet, I found that you could do really cool HYBRIDS of Beachbody programs.

I would recommend exploring a hybrid after fully completing a program, for a few reasons:

Results: Beachbody specially designs their calendars to help deliver maximum results.
Risk of Injury: When you're just doing one program, your focus (no pun intended!) won't be as divided. You will have more body awareness and, subsequently, lessen the risk of injury.
Commitment: It's always easier to commit to one program, versus trying to commit to two brand new programs.

Here's a hybrid calendar of two of my favorites, Insanity + T25. You could always swap out one of these programs for another activity or program. If you have any questions, always feel free to contact me.

21 Day Fix Meal Plan Sampler

I have had a few people ask about what my thoughts are about nutrition/etc... I am in love with the 21 Day Fix meal plan. I never feel deprived and, honestly, I feel like I will apply the principles I've learned in this program for the rest of my life. I learned a lot about where I was under-eating, particularly in regards to protein. I just can't sing enough praises about the 21 Day Fix! Here is a little "sample" of what a few days of eating on the program may look like. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
