I have officially completed one week of the latest program by Beachbody called The Shift Shop! I will tell you, I consider myself at an advanced level in fitness and these workouts are super challenging. The cool part is though, that any fitness level can do this program. Like every Beachbody program, there is someone modifying the movements during the workouts. I am not afraid or ashamed to admit I have to use that modifier myself! It just means I now have a goal to master the moves!
I am excited to take it into week two and see if I have made any improvements in my speed, agility and strength. These workouts alternate each day between cardio and strength training. The cardio focuses on intervals, speed, agility and conditioning. I am left drenched in sweat and shaking like a leaf afterwards! The strength training is challenging EVERY SINGLE muscle group in my body I swear it!

Now let's talk about the nutrition plan:
WEEK 1: The first week features a fairly standard balance of macronutrients with a moderate amount of starches and legumes (beans and peas).
WEEK 2: The second week cuts back the starches and increases the protein.
WEEK 3: Now it’s time to get serious.You’re eating starch- and legume-free so that all your carbs come from veggies and fruit. Comfort foods are gone.

I personally have decided not to follow the meal plan provided along with the workouts as I am breastfeeding and do not want mess around too much with my calories and balance of macronutrients. I am however keeping it clean, drinking my favorite super foods shake Shakeology and using the portion fix containers!
Here are my week one results:
In my first week I am feeling stronger, leaner and I am down 2 lbs. I am pleased with my results so far and am looking forward to completing this program. I have an awesome team of support behind me in my online accountability group! The next one is beginning 8-28 and I am looking for 10 women who want to lose 10 - 15 lbs, tone their bodies and feel more confident in their skin.
