Hammer & Chisel Week 3 Recap

Well, I made it through another week of Hammer and Chisel!

Week three is over and I am ready for week four! I felt great about the workouts, the only challenge was that week 3 took place over the Christmas break! I swapped the rest day from Thursday to Friday so I could enjoy the entire Christmas day at home with family. We didn’t do much and I LOVED It!

I also did my best to stick to good eating, but I know I definitely overdid it with the yellow containers! All the best snacks and drinks are yellow containers!! What can I say? You have to treat yourself 😉

Here are the workouts that were part of week three:

I definitely did more ab work this week and I did have to skip one day of exercise because I was away. I subbed in Yoga Fix Extreme since I enjoy the stretching after a long drive and could use the calming after a busy family visit.

I mixed up the Mixed Veggie Soup and it was pretty good! Some people have an aversion to eating green things – which I can understand – like Sam I am with his green eggs and ham. But the soup was tasty and pretty quick to make. I did sprinkle in some feta because I learned that Feta Cheese is delicious in a warm soup.

I can definitely see the difference in my body from the workouts. I definitely did not think that it was possible to change your body shape. But now I know I was wrong! My bottom is lifted and rounder and my arms feel toned and strong. I can almost do half a chin up – which I couldn’t even imagine doing back in week one. I also tried out the Master’s Cardio routine and it was fun and challenging (and short!). We will see if I get to that one again this week.  Just a couple more days for the free shipping on hammer and chisel challenge pack if you’re considering the program. I also found out that the hammer chisel challenge packs will be on special again in January!!

Check out my blog post about the performance line that I have been using starting this week. I really like it and definitely think it helps me maximize my workout time and helps with recovery after the workout.

I am working through the three day refresh here at the start of week 4 and because of the low calorie intake workouts are not recommended. So I will be taking it easy here at the beginning of week four. I’m going to keep with the scheduled workouts, but will modify as needed to not overdo it! Check out my 3 Day Refresh progress!
