Back in early February I was reading Gina’s blog and saw she was offering 1 month of her Home Workout Warrior program for $9. The program normally costs $97 for 12 weeks so it was an easy decision to purchase. It was a great way for me to try something I had been interested in without the larger financial investment.
I am so glad I did! It can be nerve-wracking sometimes to purchase something without having a solid idea what you are buying. The Fit Guide comes with workouts, a meal plan, as well as suggested options for cardio. So if you have been on the fence about this program here is my review.
The Workouts
I really loved the way the workouts were organized. I never got bored and I felt challenged at just the right amount. Each week there were specific Upper Body, Core, Lower Body, Total Body, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and Cardio workouts.
I was able to complete most of the workouts in 30 minutes. This was great because I woke up in the morning before the kids and got it done plus still had time to read the bible. Each week there were 5 days of workouts and 2 rest days.
We no longer have cardio equipment at our home and don’t have a gym membership so I wasn’t able to take advantage of the Hill Gym Workout she provided. I am saving it for a later date whenever we do decide to get a membership again because it looks awesome. Gina did provide a 20 minute at home HIIT workout that I did use and I also used several Cathe workouts for my Cardio days to supplement.
The equipment needed was fairly minimal. I used 8 and 15 pound weights, stability ball, and chair.
The Meal Plan
The Fit Guide included a 4 week meal plan. I wasn’t able to strictly use it because I am not eating eggs but did find it helpful to add some new variety back into what I had been eating.
When the plan was first sent there were several items missing from the shopping list for week 1 but Gina quickly corrected it. She even sent a bonus digital workout with the updated fit guide.
If you are newer to meal prepping and healthy eating this plan would be a good starting place. It is straightforward, simple, and there is no calorie counting! The plan even recommends a small piece of high quality dark chocolate after each meal and schedules in cauliflower crust pizza or sushi, and a free meal choice on the weekend.
I enjoyed that there were uncomplicated recipes included. This made it super easy. I also discovered that I am a huge fan of Amazeballs.
Results & Final Thoughts
I feel so much better overall and I am so proud of myself for sticking with this program for the month. My clothes are also fitting better which is a huge plus!
I am looking forward to sharing more of my health and wellness journey this year so stay tuned if that is something you are interested in reading about.
There are so many ways you could modify this plan and I felt Gina did a great job of allowing flexibility within the program for a variety of fitness levels.
I loved this Fit Guide so much that I purchased the full 12 week program. In my opinion it is worth the money. You can tell there was a lot of time and thought put into this program. Having run my own online bootcamps in the past I know how much work goes into something like this. It was so nice to be able to get up in the morning with a plan that I didn’t have to create and just do the workouts. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to benefit from another trainers programming :).
