Round 1 of Core De Force

So I'm going to be honest with you all...

I was not excited about this program when it first came out. I had never heard of MMA and I am more of a lover than a fighter.

But, after the sneak peek my mind was completely changed and I was in LOVE!

This program kicked my butt, yet was my favorite program all at the same time!

It not only taught me a little bit about self defense, but it gave me self confidence, helped me stand a little taller and fight a little harder not only physically but mentally as well. 

I started this program with the intensions of shredding the weight off like crazy...unfortunately that was not the case. 

I had the goal of losing 8 pounds in my first round and ended up only losing 3.6 pounds,

BUT, I was pleasantly surprised when I compared my before and after photos and measurements!

I may have only lost 3.6 pounds but I lost 9.5 Inches!!!!

All from a 20-50 minute workout daily, clean eating 90% of the time, and drinking my yummy shake daily! 

I fell so in love with this program that I already committed and am in my first week of my second round of this program!

Turns out MMA is my thing after all <3
