21 Day Fix Workout; Week 1



Lee has been doing the 21 Day Fix workout program for the last week.  He started out having NEVER done a fitness program and wasn't sure he needed one.  He's been in decent shape and could still keep up physically with daily life including his physical job.  After attempting to do a workout one day he decided he did need to make an extra effort and make physical fitness a part of his daily life.

He's a busy Dad and works graveyards so finding the time to put into a workout program was hard.  He enjoyed his time every day relaxing on the couch catching up on the latest adventures of Jack Bauer and he didn't want to have to put in an hour at a gym plus drive times back and forth.  After looking at his options he decided to do the 21 Day Fix.

What appealed to him was that the whole program was 21 days.  He could do that.  Having never attempted a fitness program he wanted something he could finish and use that completion to push him forward.  The workouts are 30 minutes a day and he has time to workout, shower and relax on the couch still before heading for work. 

One week down and he's feeling a lot stronger.  You can tell his squishy areas are getting firmer and where the workouts were hard the first week they are getting easier every day.

Nutrition is also a big component.  You can't exercise away a bad diet.  So he's really changed his eating.  He's switching fast food for home cooked meals.  Instead of a big bowl, or two, or frosted flakes he's drinking Shakeology.  The first few days it was a little of a struggle to get out of that fast food habit but now he's getting into more of a routine with taking the time to fix a sandwich at home instead of heading to Arby's.

He made this video to share in his own words what he's been doing this first week and we'll keep updating his journey.  For additional information email us or check it out HERE
