So what am I going to do for this #SummerStrong challenge?

Typically this is not a program that I would want to do. I’m not a “hardcore” fitness person. However, I have 3 obstacle course races coming up this year-my first one in May-that I need to train for and I know this program will help me with that! It may be overkill, but at least I’ll be prepared, right?

I am NOT a Beachbody Fitness coach or affiliated with them in any way, but I love (most) of their fitness programs and have been using them for years! They also run some really cool challenges so I’m totally jumping in on this one! Several years ago I joined a summer TurboFire challenge and earned an exclusive TurboFire water bottle!

This is what I’m getting in my 22 Minute Hard Corps Deluxe DVD Package that I purchased from Team Beachbody:

BASIC TRAINING WORKOUTS:
8 workouts on 2 DVDs
Tony takes you through a series of total–body rounds designed to maximize strength gains and fat loss with the objective of boot camp fitness in just 8 weeks.

Resistance 1.
These are 5 simple moves, but with 3 back–to–back rounds, the challenge is intense. That’s how you get results in just 22 minutes a day.

Cardio 1.
This 7–move workout gets your heart pumping from Minute One. Keep up with the platoon and earn a massive calorie burn.

Core 1.
It’s called “Hard Corps” for a reason. Get ready to work your lower back, abs, and obliques in this epic, 10–move drill.

Resistance 2. Did I hear you ask for more? Here it is. More resistance. More sweat. More muscles recruited.

Cardio 2.
This is basic training, but there’s nothing easy about it. It’s 3 rounds of 7 exercises, just like Cardio 1, but these moves will push your limits even further.

Core 2.
You’ve survived Core 1. Now the reps are doubled – to test your limits and maximize the burn.

Resistance 3.
This workout takes the intensity up a click by adding plyometric strength training to challenge your endurance.

Cardio 3.
Alternates between floor work and plyo moves for 3 hard-driving rounds. Your mission is to deliver every rep.

3 ADVANCED TOTAL–BODY WORKOUTS:

SPECIAL OPS RESISTANCE.
Three rounds of 5 advanced exercises that incorporate the variable–resistance PT Sandbag to search and destroy any weakness.

SPECIAL OPS CARDIO.
These weighted cardio exercises utilize the PT Sandbag to boost endurance and obliterate calories with extreme prejudice.

SPECIAL OPS CORE.
This elite 10–move core workout hits your midsection hard to leave you ripped and ready for action.
