Lose It With Lucy

Last September, I was training for my first half marathon.  Like a lot of people looking to get in better shape, I was ALL about CARDIO.   At this point, I could run 8 - 9 miles at a time and felt really good about the shape I was in.

Little did I know, I was missing a KEY part of getting in the best shape of my life and dropping inches!   What was that key?   I needed some resistance training - STAT!  I think the reason I was all about cardio is that I knew cardio burned calories and if I was going to devote time to an exercise, that is  what I wanted to do, right?

WRONG!

Sure, cardio burns calories but I was probably losing muscle or at the very least not gaining much and now that I know what I know, building that muscle would have made me leaner in a much shorter amount of time.

So, why am I telling you all of this?   Simple.   So you don't make the same mistake I did.   I started running in February and do you know I did not lose a single pound (in fact I gained) until September?   CRAZY!   You have to have balance in your workouts.   I know you don't have time to spend hours at the gym.  Neither do I!   I want to get the most out of my very limited time.

What worked for me in September and what works for me now to get into super shape for summer is the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme.   I've completed several rounds of both and I love incorporating the workouts and meal plan with my running schedule!  

See my before and after pictures below.  

The 21 Day Fix or 21 Day Fix Extreme comes with 7 different workouts, a meal plan guide, and portion control containers (gold!).   This program truly is a game changer!  Oh, and did I mention it's on SALE this month?
