3 week review of Hammer & Chisel

Have you ever done a program that you just were unsure of? One that you could do the moves OK but there just was nothing great to keep you wanting more?

Well that is what I have been feeling with this Hammer & Chisel program. I am doing fine with the moves all be it some of them are more difficult than others.

 Being out in my garage gym the jumping around has really taken a toll on my heel so if you are going into this program with an injury be cautious of it because it may get worse.

So far this program is great for your legs. That is a plus, but I feel like I'm still having to do my regular weight routine on top of it. I was hoping to find it did a good job on it's own. 

I can see where it would work for people who have never done a weight routine before. it gets you use to using weights.


What are the pros?

* It is a workout you can do at home
*  It doesn't require a lot of weight or equipment
* Can be done in a half hour or less


What are the cons?

* I find the voices to be annoying (I'm weird!)
* It could use more weights on some


I also have to point out that if you are like me and find it hard to do a program that the voices of the trainers annoy you , then this is not for you. Not only are they hard to follow the man seems to have an undertone of....well...I hate to say it because it sounds so weird but it sounds kind of sexual. Like you know when your talking to someone and there is double entendres. 

That is kind of how my husband and I interpret it. Now we may be completely miss reading it or just taking it the wrong way but for me it makes it harder to workout. 

We have 5 more weeks to go so I will be doing another review when we complete it.


*If you have done this program please leave me a comment on how you liked it. I'm interested to see what others think.

The Magic of Thinking Big

I am sharing my thoughts on the book The Magic of Thinking Big written by David J. Schwartz

I bought this book because it was recommended to me because I am currently trying this whole Network Marketing thing and you really have to put yourself out there and have thick skin...which I do NOT!

Now I'm not saying that you need to be in Network Marketing to read this book, this book has wonderful  ideas and tips for everyday people who have no interest in big business. If you just want some ideas on having a better conversation or healthier relationships, you will want to read this book.

The author of this book has filled it with real life everyday examples of situations that most people can relate to and that helps to put his ideas into perspective. Sometimes it is easy to learn something when it is in laymen terms...at least for me anyway.

This is just one example of the wonderful advice and tips you will find in this book. I had my pen and highlighter out and was taking notes in case I couldn't find the spot again in the book. I think this will be one that I will re-read many times.

22 Minute Hard Corps Review

I just finished up the challenge pack of 22 Minute Hard Corps and thought that I would share in case anyone out there was curious about what it's like before taking the plunge.

I had never even heard of Beachbody or Shakeology before 8 weeks ago. Someone sent me a DM on Instagram about how inspired they were by me and how would I like to try this program. I just happened to be getting bored with my current program so I figured why not.


WHAT DO YOU GET?

* you receive 2 DVD's that have the programs on them plus and extra DVD for partner work.
* a calendar with the program all laid out as to what workout you do what day.
* a meal plan and recipes book.
* measurement tracker.
* portion control containers.

** mine came with a sandbag but mine was a special challenge pack. I'm not sure that comes with them all

The program is well organized. The calendar is so easy to follow. You will do cardio every other day and resistance training alternating. As the weeks goon the workouts get more difficult but there is always modifier to follow if it gets too hard.

You will be doing your workout along with Veterans from all service ranks which is why the name. It is coached by Tony Horton who is very animated so sometimes I did find myself laughing while working out.

WHAT DID I GAIN?

I myself didn't lose any weight or inches but I did gain all sorts of strength. I am able to do push ups and started coming close to pull ups. My ability to do burpees without getting sick was increased so I'm OK with not losing weight. Sometimes it's not about weight.

Go for NO review

Ok, so I have started in the company Beachbody as a coach and they are really big on personal development and I need all the help I can get so I have stocked up on books and want to share some things that I learned.

The premise of this book is that a man gets a chance to meet his future self. That future self is very successful salesperson who is going to show him what his life could be if he made some changes.

The book is only 74 pages so there is no reason to not get this book finished in a day if not then two. 



Who is this book for?

This book is not just for salespeople. You do not have to be a door to door salesman to want to read this book. This book is for anyone who has a message to share with the world. You could be in telemarketing, online sales or work in a department store. You could be in charge of a charity or run a gym. This book is for anyone!!



What would you do if you hit your head and got a chance to meet your future self? Would you fight the whole experience, thinking that it was just a dream or would you embrace the experience and soak up all the information you can?

That is what the main character does. He watches and listens to his future self in hopes of taking this information back with him when he comes too. He knows that he wants to one day be this person.

Are you willing to be told No over and over again? Are you willing to put yourself out there wholeheartedly and basically sell yourself and have someone say No to you. When I say selling yourself, that is what being a salesperson is to me. I feel like I have to truly think the product is worth putting myself on the line and want everyone else to feel the love for a product like I do.

That is the point that this future self says. No is the way to get to the Yes! If you don't like being told No and you take it personally than putting yourself out there in whatever capacity that you are in, then you may be facing failure.


Should you read this book?

Yes, you should read this book and then share it! If you are in a position of authority of any kind then share this book with people under you or above you for that matter.
