About Me

My Photo
Welcome to my 1st blog! I started this blog to document my cize experience. Cize is a new Beachbody exercise program based on dancing combined with the meal plan from 21 day fix (another Beachbody program). I have done one round of 21 day fix and lost 6 lbs, but more notable was the inches! Unfortunately due to travel and moving, I fell off the 21 day fix wagon! Cize was appealing to me as I am a former dancer and the routines require no equipment. I also signed up to be a coach...mostly for the shakeology discount (a yummy chocolate protein shake also by beachbody) but I'd love to help out others, hence the blog! After seeing my Facebook newsfeed blow up with Beachbody coaches, I became curious, but incredibly skeptical! I'm loving cize so far, but can I really see the success that so many others have? The only way I previously have been successful with slimming down and getting healthy was when I trained for the NYC marathon in 2013...and I want that back! Hoping without running another one! Time will tell! This is my skeptical, but curious experience with Cize, 21 Day Fix, Beachbody, and Shakeology!

CIZE: Week 1 Review!

Recap time!  

I completed 3 rounds of "Crazy 8's" and 3 rounds of "You Got This".  I was supposed to do 3 rounds of 8 Count abs as well, but only did two due to not thoroughly reading the plan- sorry guys!  

Overall: Loved the program!  I feel like I got a great cardio work-out with Crazy 8's, but that "You Got This" was more "cerebral" (technically difficult, but I wasn't AS tired after).  This is probably why this is coupled with "You Got This".  However, 8 Count Abs...such a great work-out! So tough!!!  The problem with combining these two for me though was that the dance routine was 42 min and then adding the abs was another 8 min.  As someone used to 21 Day Fix, thinking about an almost hour long work-out, it's much more difficult to motivate myself than a 32 minute one like Crazy 8's.  Luckily I'm on vacation right now. ;) BUT, the work-out's are so fun.  I sometimes dreaded my 21 Day Fix work-outs because of their difficulty, especially cardio fix!  

One idea, may be to do a hybrid plan, substituting Cize routines for Cardio in the 21 Day Fix plan.  I know there's some out there, but haven't reviewed them yet! 

Diet: I would say sticking to it 50-75% this week!  Tough when you're on vacation!
