Getting to fitness in 22 minutes is no joke!
I powered through the first week of 22 minute hard corps and survived!! I should count up the number of push-ups! I had never done a mountain gorilla or waterbug move before! I’m learning some new lingo 😉 I’m always looking to help others get started with their health and fitness journey and if you have 22 minutes a day, scroll down and fill out the form at the bottom of this post or click here.
The exercises this week were repetitive, which is nice for getting started. I even got to use the PT sandbag for a couple of moves. The sand shifts around when it moves, meaning it takes extra effort to control it. I loaded my sandbag with 10 pounds of sand because I didn’t want to overload it right away and not be able to control it! Here’s a short video to explain how I filled the sandbag.
I am looking forward to week 2 and seeing what Resistance 2 has in store for me! I’ll know soon enough because I see it’s on the calendar for tomorrow morning! Here are the week 1 exercises and the week 2 preview.

Sticking to Nutrition
Last week, I stuck to my containers pretty well during the day, but found myself snacking in the evenings! This week I am going to refocus and find a way to keep busy and not snack! I know I wasn’t even hungry or craving anything, I think I was just bored!
Here are some of the foods that I ate during week 1 and I listed some of my week 2 food items below.
Here’s to Week 2!
I read this post about meal planning for 5 days in 90 minutes. I didn’t go and do the whole prep, but I did make the Spinach, Tomato, and Quinoa Breakfast Casserole. That’s a new one for us, so we’ll see how it goes! Here are some of the foods I have planned for week 2!
