Today's workout was particularly difficult today given that we just did this same workout only 2 days ago!! My lower back is still super sore as well as my quads and shoulders! Honestly, I really don't know how I got through this one again today! But, somehow I managed! I did increase my weights for most of the moves 2 days ago when I completed this workout compared to the last time that I performed it on Day 12. However, I did not increase my weights today compared to two days ago... I used the same weight! (At least I did it!) They say that the order of the workouts is important and that the trainers put them in the order of their choosing for a reason.... so, I will just have to trust Autumn and Sagi on this one!
This is a video clip containing moves from the Total Body Chisel Workout as well as this Hammer Power workout. Enjoy a sneak peek! This is a clip of another move performed during the workout...
Please see Hammer and Chisel - Day 8 for a full description and review of this cardio workout from Autumn Calabrese.
This workout will really get your heart pumping and leave you feeling breathless... even on Day 38! This workout is still VERY challenging! I performed the Over the Top move on the chair for the first set and followed the modifier for the second set performing the move on the floor. I used a 10 pound weight for both sets. I still had to use the resistance band attached to the door for the minute long set of pull ups. Next up was the dumbbell swings.... This is still my favorite move withing this workout. I used a 20 pound weight for the first set and a 25 pound weight for the second set. Wow! What a difference between 20 and 25 pounds! It really hurt my back on the second set going up to the higher weight... not sure if I will try that again next time! Next, Figure Eight move (I used a 10 pound weight) and Burpees with jumps in between. Next was the Sword Pull Move. I was able to do 21 to 22 reps on each side within the alotted minute of time. This move really becomes challenging by the end of the minute. I used a 10 pound weight. Last was the Forearm Plank Kicks (really burns!) and the Side Step Up Kicks. This is still the hardest move in the workout... my pace really slows down as I near the end of the minute and my thighs REALLY burn. Check out my video of this move! See you tomorrow for Hammer and Chisel - Day 40.
I just love this!! Was feeling inspired by this, so I wanted to share!!
Avocado brownies??? What?!?!? Not only do avocados add a boost of healthy fats, they also intensify the flavor of chocolate and make these brownies ultra rich, and decadent. These gluten-free treats are so fudgy and moist, you won’t even remember how healthy they are! Additionally, one brownie only counts as 1/2 yellow container and 2 tsp on the 21 Day Fix diet! Now, that is my kind of treat!
Some notes -This workout consists of compound moves with HEAVY weights. This is real weight lifting using multiple muscle groups at the same time including some balance moves! This workout is shorter, but don't be fooled by the length... it is very challenging! There are only 8 moves total, two moves per set, then repeat. Every move is 12 reps.
For a full review and description of all of the exercises, please see my previous blog Hammer and Chisel - Day 14.
Set 1
Clock Push Up Crunch – This one is fun! It’s a pushup at the 12:00 position, followed by tapping your right knee to your right elbow. Then rotate to 1:00, and do the same thing, all the way around the clock. Round 2 is the same thing, but going counterclockwise. Side Lunge Row – A side lunge followed by a row. Round one is the left leg, and round 2 is the right leg. Set 2 Fly Lunge Twist – It’s a tricky move. You use a very light weight in your right hand. Stand up straight with your arms open and bring them together in front of you. Then, keeping your arms in front, do a reverse lunge with your right foot going back. At the bottom of the lunge, twist to your left across the forward leg. Stand up & repeat. Round 2 is the same move but the opposite direction & lunge. Major shoulder burner. Sagi only uses an 8 pound weight for this... trust me! Use light weight! I used a 3 pound weight and was about to die by the end of 12 reps! My husband started with an 8 pound weight and had to drop to 5 pounds mid-set. Sumo Squat Press - This is a simple move and also a move that we have already performed in other workout within this program. Weights are at your shoulders with wide feet, and toes pointed outwards. You do a sumo squat, followed by a should press. Set 3 Burpee Renegade Upright Row – This is my favorite move! Very challenging compound move! Standing up with weights in hand, you drop to the ground and jump back to plank. Then you do a row on each arm (left & right). Jump forward again, stand up straight and do a row.
Stiff Leg Deadlift Crunch – A balance move with an ab component - standing on one leg, you do a deadlift by pivoting down at your hip and letting your other leg float backward. On the way back up, you lift that back leg up to your chest in a standing crunch move. Round 2 is the opposite side. Set 4 Plank Raise Tap Crunch – A plank with the following moves – lift right arm forward, and back down. Lift right arm out to the side, and back down. Then bring your left foot up and tap it with your right hand. Round 2 is the opposite side. This is VERY challenging to complete for 12 reps!! It is very important to keep your bottom down while in the plank position to get the max benefit from this move. Check out the following video for this move:
Reverse Lunge Curl Kickback – Here’ show this one works! Start with a reverse lunge on your right leg. Once you are in the lunge position, do a bicep curl. With the weights curled up, lean forward (still in the lunge position) and do a tricep kickback. Stand up & repeat. Round 2 is the opposite side. Hammer Conditioning Review & Thoughts: This was Sagi’s Hammer workout that includes multiple compound moves within a single exercise. I love these kinds of moves because they are usually functional and engage your core. I definitely was winded at the end of this and the pace was very quick with very little rest between moves. This one will definitely get your heart rate up even though it is not considered a cardio workout! See you the day after tomorrow for Hammer and Chisel - Day 39. Tomorrow is a rest day.... Yay!! My Meal Plan today:

Hammer and Chisel Journey - Day 36 : Chisel Agility
This workout by Autumn Calabrese is very fast-paced and lives up to the name... Agility! She incorporates fast footwork and heart rate pumping cardio moves all while keeping your mind engaged! With this workout, she does not let you put yourself on auto pilot and just follow along with the moves mindlessly! She is testing your ability to keep your brain in tact even though you may be getting tired. She calls out moves, and you have to pay attention to keep up or you will mess up! I really like this workout! I do not find the level of cardio to be extremely difficult, although there are several exercises that are pretty challenging to endure for the entire 60 sec. The workout goes as follows: Moves are 60 Seconds each! NO WEIGHTS! You do all 10 moves, break for a minute, then do them AGAIN!! High Knees / Fast Tire Feet – You do high knees going forward, and then wide knees going back. (this one is one of the moves that is challenging to do for the entire minute.... she starts you out with a bang!) Plank X Taps – Plank position with hand taps (front left / right) and leg taps (back left / right). She calls this one out, so you have to pay attention! Definitely a strong core move.
Shuffle / Grapevine -Directions change during the move. You grapevine in one direction and side shuffle the other direction. This is the fast footwork that I was telling you about! Lateral Squat Hop – The name tells you! It’s a squat, and then you hop laterally to the left or right as Autumn calls it out. Multidirectional Lunge – Front lunge/ Side lunge / Reverse lunge on one foot, then switch to the other foot after 30 seconds.
Rotating Squat Jump – 180 degree squat jumps. This one is a huge leg burner after 60 seconds and another one of the moves that is difficult to do for the entire minute! Skater Triangle – This one is a little tricky. Imagine you are standing at the top of the triangle on the floor with the two sides behind you. You left up on foot and jump to that side, then to other corner of the triangle, and back to the front. Then you go again in the opposite direction. Diagonal Jump Lunge – This is basically a crossover lunge (lunge left with the right foot, and then the other direction) but the transition is done with a jump. This one is hard and really hard to do for the entire minute. I would say that this is the most difficult move in the workout!
Circle In & Out – This is kind of like fast feet and incorporates fancy footwork! Imagine you are standing in the middle of a circle. Then what you do is fast feet up to the edge of the circle an back to the middle. As you keep going, rotate around the circle. If you get confused, just move your feet fast until your heart rate goes up, LOL. Directional Squat Jump – Squat to a jump – front, left, right, back depending on what direction Autumn calls out. Again, you have to pay attention on this one.... she tries to trick you!
Chisel Agility Review & Thoughts:
This is one of the few Hammer & Chisel workouts that does not incorporate weights. I liked this workout and like most of the Autumn's workouts, my legs finished on fire! I have LOVED using weights almost every day with this program, but it was nice to have a break from weights and enjoy just plain cardio! See you tomorrow for Hammer and Chisel - Day 37!
This workout is short and sweet! At only 24 mins long (including warm up and cool down), Sagi's goal is burn out your muscles quickly with very little rest in between moves. This workout definitely has left me feeling sore... especially my biceps and lower back. This is now the third time completing this workout, so I was more familiar with what weights I needed to use to really feel burn!
The workout begins with push ups to really get your chest and shoulders engaged. He moves right into static lunges, followed by chin ups. I am still using the resistance band attached to the door for these. I still can not do one pull-up without an assist band, fyi. Next, we tackled sumo squats followed by rear delt flys. The rear delt flys were very challenging! Next, we moved to bicep curls on the ball, really burns out the biceps!. Finally, calf raises with tricep kickbacks bringing up the rear. This workout moves very quickly and is sure to leave both your upper and lower body on fire!
This workout is all about building endurance. At this point in the schedule, this is only the second time repeating this workout, which is surprising given that it is day 34! However, we have completed three other different styles of cardio workouts twice each (Hammer Plyometrics, Chisel Agility, and Chisel Cardio). Despite the fact that Chisel Endurance is probably categorized as a cardio workout, it really could be considered a total body workout. Each move lasts for one minute, and by the end of some of the moves.... you are barely hanging on! It is a real challenge to complete all 60 seconds of all of the moves even at this stage of the program. The step up cross-overs are, by far, the most difficult move of the workout. I used a 10 lb weight and really struggled to complete 60 sec by the time we got to the second leg. I also struggled with the decline push-ups. I completed the entire first set on the stability ball, however I had to drop to my knees for the last 20 sec on the second round. The plank knee taps were KILLER at the very end. I was able to complete both sets at 60 seconds each, but just barely! It KILLED me!! All in all, I have definitely improved my performance from the first time performing this workout during Week 1, in which I was not able to do even one set of the push ups without having to drop to my knees! I am pleased with my progress and am really starting to note some definition in my arms!
Sagi's famous one-liner still echoes in my mind.... "Are you a hammer or are you a nail?!" My husband and I each shout back to the television, "I'm a hammer!!" This is true power lifting workout with each move decreasing down in reps from 10 reps -> 8 reps -> 6 reps utilizing the same weight within the same round. There are three rounds, you repeat each round twice! On the repeat of each round, Sagi expects you to increase your weight, although I had a hard time doing that and kept the same weight amount for most moves. Round 1:
Bench Press – I used the stability ball for this – but a simple bench press! Squat – a simple squat with knees shoulder distance apart. This move gets significantly harder with the weight over time. Reverse Grip Row – Bend at the waist and pull towards you, focusing on your back.
Round 2: Incline Fly – Same as the bench press but you do a fly move on an incline...so you work your upper chest more.
Reverse Lunge– Step back lunges. Round one is the right leg, round 2 is the left leg.
Wide Pull-Up – HARD!!!. I had to use the pull up assist band and then the actual band attached to a door to finish this one! Round 3: Military Press – Shoulder workout – I performed this seated on the stability ball.
Split Squat – One leg up on a chair (couch for me) and then you squat with the other leg. Round 1 is the right leg, and round 2 is the left leg.
Post Delt Fly – This is one-armed deltoid work - just swing your arm up to the side from a bent over position leaning on the ball. Total Body Hammer Review & Thoughts: This is definitely the most “classic weight lifting” round of the program. I really enjoyit though and work up a crazy sweat – the rest period between moves is very short! I have been able to increase my weights a little bit since the last time that I completed this workout, so I know that I am getting stronger! Be sure to track your weights and track your progress!

This is so super easy for busy moms to create a meal that the entire family will absolutely LOVE!! Best of all, you can stick to your 21 day fix eating plan and feed the family a delicious meal at the same time!
Ranch Chicken and Rice Bake - This was my first time making this recipe, but the family decided that this was definitely a KEEPER!! Everyone just loved the flavor of the rice and served themselves a second helping of just the rice. Additionally, this recipe is 21 Day Fix Friendly and the best part was that I put the dish together when I got home from work and then I got my workout completed while it baked in the oven! BAM! Killed two birds with one stone! I know all you busy working moms can appreciate that!!
Container count per serving: 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 35 min
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked instant rice
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1 cup water
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix*
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup butter, melted
Paprika
Directions:
Place rice in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the milk, water and salad dressing mix; set aside 1/4 cup. Pour remaining mixture over rice. Top with chicken strips. Drizzle with butter and reserved milk mixture.
Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink. Sprinkle with paprika.
*To be a truly "clean" recipe, you can use your own ranch seasoning mix rather than a ranch packet. Ranch seasoning is very easy to make and I usually make a jar full in one batch so that I always have some on hand.
Ranch Seasoning (21 Day Fix Approved):
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp dill
Note: I usually quadruple this recipe to make a larger batch. I like to store my seasoning mixes in old spice jars that I have emptied.
Enjoy this kid-tested, family approved recipe that is healthy and delicious!! I served it with green beans and Hawaiian sweet rolls.

I just have 3 words for today's workout.... Cleans, cleans, and MORE cleans!! Oh, and did I mention cleans??
Hammer Power is very unique for a Beachbody program. This is the first power-lifting workout I have seen from Beachbody. Sagi takes you through a number of power moves that bring a new approach to the program.
This workout is about 30 minutes long and focuses on teaching you how to do a proper Clean/Squat/Lift or Jerk move. It starts with one of the basic moves and builds upon it until the end of the workout. Most of the moves are 10 reps with a light weight and then 5 reps with medium to heavy weight. The workout really focuses on your legs and shoulders but you will also feel it some in the back.
Clean/Squat/Press
The moves include:
* Overhead press
* Squats
* Thrusters
* Jerk Presses
* Deadlifts
* Shrugs
* Upright rows
* Cleans
* Clean & Presses
* Clean & Squats
* Clean/squat/presses
* Clean/squat/jerks
* 1 arm squat press
* 1 arm squat jerks
Clean and Press
This sounds like a lot of moves, but you move pretty quickly through them. This is a challeging workout that really gets your heart pumping. I did feel this one in my back in addition to the primary target, which was of course, legs and shoulders! I have attached some videos of some of the compound moves for your viewingpleasure. :)
Clean and Jerk
This was our second time completing this workout, so we were more familiar with the moves and I could use heavier weights compared to the first time that I completed this one. I used 10 lb dumbbells whenever it called for light weights and I used either 15 lb dumbbells or 22 lb dumbbells when Sagi called for heavy weights. If the move included a press, I used the 15's and if the press was not involved, then I used the 22's. This was a significant improvement from using 8 lb (light) and 12 lb (heavy) the last time that I did this workout!
See you tomorrow for Hammer and Chisel - Day 29!

Shakeology has been a life saving fitness and wellness tool for me in this journey to lose weight. I have a 4yo daughter and about six months after having her, I tore my ACL which completely halted my weight loss efforts. By the time that I had completed a year of rehab for my knee and was told that I could finally go back to exercising, I had packed on about 30 extra pounds! I decided to begin my transformation for the second time around with Insanity. Believe it or not, but I actually did the entire first month of the program without drinking Shakeology because I thought that I didn't need it! I really thought I could manage my eating habits and exercise and still reach my goals. Half-way through the program, I decided to give Shakeology a try... finally! I had reached a plateau and thought that Shakeology might help. After researching and reading all the information on the Shakeology site, I chose the chocolate. I needed that quick fix of chocolate everyday to curb my cravings. I was so surprised to learn how much more energy I had to complete the program with Shakeology on board... what a difference in my performance! I received my shakeology order and the first shake that I blended was ice, 1 cup water, 1/2 banana, and 1 tbsp peanut butter.... Yum! Tasted like a Reece's peanut butter cup! I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing. In my shipment was a calendar of 30 ways to mix Shakeology. I love trying new recipes and I wake up every morning looking forward to another shake. Shakeology helped me to break out of that platueau, lose that 30 pounds, and now maintain my weight. I can not imagine starting each day without it!!
Here is my testimony about Shakeology... why I drink it every day and what it has done for me!!
Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.

Shakeology is more nutritious than a salad and tastes like a dessert!
What is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement or for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.
What's in it?
Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.
Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.
Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.
Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.
Phytonutrients support immune function and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.
Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.
What can Shakeology do for you?
It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recommends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements. It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals. I personally have lowered my LDL cholesterol by 15 points after drinking Shakeology for about 6 months!! 15 points is more than what mostmedications can do and without all the side effects!!
Why Shakeology?
I love Shakeology because I am a busy, working mom and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition. It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with the kids, my career, and my hectic lifestyle. It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible. If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them. If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.
How to use it.
It's very simple.
Mix 1 scoop of Shakeology with 8 oz. of water. If you like, add ice. Or if you want something more filling and maybe even more satisfying, blend your Shakeology with ice and nonfat, almond, rice, or soy milk. Shakeology dissolves easily, but blending it will give it a thicker, creamier texture.
Here is another video giving a complete run down of all of the ingredients:
