Post Workout Game Changer!!



Last Sunday I woke up SUPER SORE after completing week 1of Hammer & Chisel (my new workout program)!! But this Sunday, I woke up feeling PAIN FREE, Strong, & Ready to get back at it! 


I'm Sharing my PERSONAL REVIEW of my new Recovery supplement with you all because I'm freaking 100% Super Impressed with the results & it's been a game changer for me this week!!! 


I’ve never been much into supplements. Mostly because of the artificial crap that’s in most of them. But now that
 I’ve got a 100% all natural brand, I decided I’ve give it a try!
I’m taking on the Hammer & Chisel workout this month, which I’m LOVING, but it’s Intense to say the least! The first few workouts I tried left every muscle in my body SORE for days...which makes it hard to come back strong!


This week I tested this new post-workout RECOVERY supplement to see if this really helps combat post-workout soreness like it claims.


Well, today marks 1 full week now with daily workouts & Recovery....and all I can say is THANK YOU RECOVERY!!!!
WOW, the difference in how I wake up feeling has me completely amazed and sold on this product!!
This stuff is freaking INCREDIBLE!

One of the Key Ingredients is Pomegranate extract, which is a natural anti-inflammatory and way healthier than NSAIDS!

I’ve been able to come back to my workouts the next day feeling STRONG, I’m able to walk without limping, and I don’t have that painful tight muscle feeling I usually do after intense workouts.....AND I’m already seeing results from being able to keep showing up to my workouts stronger!


Another HUGE PLUS for me is that I no longer have to compromise or adjust my upper body workouts because of my job!!! 


As a Surgical First Assistant, I'm required to hold long awkward positions & isometric holds for hours!
I usually can't workout upper body too much or I'll be in too SORE to do my job--- >Which stinks because this is also my weakest area that I need to work on!!


Well, I had 2 very long surgery days this past week AFTER doing my upper body workouts and NO PAIN!!!! I’m usually so sore after work also that I have to pop ibuprofen & get massages weekly but I didn’t need any of that this week AND I’ve been really pushing it in my workouts!!!


I’m 100% satisfied and I’m very thankful to have found a company that create such high quality, NSF certified, and all natural options for those who love to lift with me but want quality ingredients!

Hammer & Chisel Day 1 Review!

Hammer  & Chisel Day 1 Review- Chisel Balance


My First impression??.......I WILL feel this tomorrow!!!!! :)

Today was the official DAY 1 of my new workout program, Hammer & Chisel. I've previewed about 4 of these workouts before I officially received it in the mail but I decided to Officially start on a Monday so that I'll be on the calendar! 

This 60 day workout program was created by Autumn Calabrese, the 21 Day Fix creator, and Sagi Kalev, from Body Beast! These 2 masters joined forces for this one and he's bringing the "Hammer" while she provides the "Chisel". 

It's the perfect all around resistance training program! And it's also great for couples to do together :)

One of the other BONUSES  is that it INCLUDES the 21 Day Fix containers system...which is a color-coded, perfectly portioned meal plan system where you don't have to ever count calories!...if your food fits, you eat it! 




So today was the first of the Chisel Series, Chisel Balance....and boy did Autumn test mine!! It was only about 39 mins (Most are 30 mins) which is one of my favorite parts of this program and it definitely got the job done!

 I honestly feel that completing the 21 Day Fix Extreme was great prep for this workout but it was still a challenge!

This one used light-medium weights and gave some of the staple weight training moves (like rows, hamstring curls, and squats) the added challenge of balance moves combined! 

Now, many people are asking me about the equipment needed for this workout program:

-Yes you do need weights!
 I happen to have 3-20lbs of free weights at home. My husband made this investment 2 Christmas ago for me and I can honestly say they've gotten their use! 

- You do NOT need a Bench you CAN use a Stability ball or just the floor!
I just got my bench today, however, because I  found a great deal on one on Sports Authority online and found a great promo code so I got the Bowflex Selectech 3.1 bench (had to put it together today, which was like the pre-workout! But I managed it! lol) 



--I have also seen that they use a pull up bar in a couple workouts...but not in today's! 
I personally do NOT have a pull up bar, I use a resistance band and door attachment instead which they also show the move this way :)


My overall thoughts???

DAMN! No...but in all reality, I was very impressed with the moves in this workout! They were moves I'd never done before, they used multiple body parts at once, including balance moves which are great for the core, and I still felt like I could do them without having to hit pause too many times!

I'm VERY excited for what's to come!! I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling this one tomorrow so I tried out the Performance Line Post Workout Recovery tonight to see if this helps my DOMS! (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)....I'll have to do a review on that if it helps!! 

If you are looking for some great pre and post workout supplements, I'd love to chat with you more about the 100% all natural ingredients line I'm using now! 

I'm newer to supplements, as I never liked artificial ingredients and flavorings...but these are LEGIT! 


Ok, so who is this program PERFECT FOR??:
-Those who have been working out already
 -21 Day Fix grads!
-Body Beast grads
-P90X grads
-GYM RATS!!! This workout is very "Gym-like" and you can STREAM it and bring it along! It'll give you some cool moves to show off with!

I maybe wouldn't suggest starting out with this one, unless you like a challenge...but all moves can be modified and you CAN start with light weights to make it more beginner friendly! 

Oh and my husband was pretty impressed when I showed him this video from today's workout....so ladies, you and your man can do this one together! 





Want to try it for yourself? I'm hosting an elite TEST GROUP in 2016...This will be an online group for those of us taking this challenge to support each other and stay accountable to our goals!!
