30 Day Breakaway - Week One Review

Image
30 Day Breakaway is an intermediate running program from Beachbody On Demand.  Yes - it's a RUNNING program!  Please follow my affiliate LINK for more product details.  And, as always, remember your old pal if you want to buy anything - because I do get a small commission.  On to the review! I was a little scared to start this program.  I haven't run in two years, and in that time I have relinquished control of the composition of my body largely to Chipotle and Anheuser Busch.  Just last December, I decided to get to work on some of that excess guacamole hanging around my waistline.  After four consistent months of working out, I decided to jump in to a little running! 30 Day Breakaway (30DB) is a program that contains weight training, stretching and running instructional videos.  The running videos are available in two formats.  One is an audio only version that you can play through your phone and go out on the trails for a run.  The s...

#mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced - Results

Image
I did it!!  I worked out every single day for 6 weeks!  I am so proud of myself and have really found a level of self esteem that has been hiding behind my sadness and inactivity - I feel about 50% back to normal! Muscle Burns Fat Advanced is a three-week muscle building program that I gave my initial reactions of  HERE .    Also, ya know, if you want to sign up for Beachbody On Demand – you can follow my affiliate  LINK  and I’ll get $10. Woot! This program was HARD.  If I hadn't already completed two programs (21 Day Fix & 9 Week Control Freak), I would have repeated #mbf Muscle Burns Fat at least one time before moving on to the advanced program.  Megan is a big fan of asymmetrical moves and they were pretty complicated in #mbfa. I had to modify a couple of the moves to accommodate my low back issues.  There was a single dumbbell snatch where you lifted the weight with one hand from the floor, pressed it up over head and then...

#mbfa - One Week Review

Image
  #mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced, is a 3-week muscle building program from Beachbody On Demand. For a more detailed product page, please visit my affiliate link HERE . This program follows the same format as #mbf Muscle Burns Fat, with the addition of the Megan Minute.  After the set, we perform one move for a whole minute.  Is a minute a long time?  YES.  The workouts are a little longer this time around, with the weight training days clocking in around 40 minutes and the others still around 25-30.  This series is truly an extension of #mbf with the same sounding workouts laid out in the same order every week.  We use the same equipment, dumb bells and a mat for floor work (if you are in the basement, like me) and the Bod Ropes.  These are just a style of indoor jump rope and are not essential to the program, in my opinion.  There are many styles and colors available on Amazon. This program is definitely a step up from #mbf.  I fe...
