Country Heat
Country Heat, for me, is like the person you really don't want to date but do it anyway because you've heard good things about them and they turn out to be one of your true loves/best friends - totally unexpected!
Check out my blog posts from Country Heat!
What is Country Heat?
Country Heat is a high-energy, low-impact dance workout that’s super simple and fun. The workouts are only 30-minutes and come with easy-to-follow dance moves coordinated to country music. The program is a 30 day program and can be repeated. This program is NOT line dancing. It's a cardio based dance workout to country music however there is a bonus line dancing DVD since the program was inspired by line dancing.Click here to see my personal grocery list and meal plan for this program.
What makes Country Heat effective?
A lot of times people don't workout because it feels exactly like that - work! Country Heat is a fun program to get fit. There are no complicated moves, no weights and no equipment required. All you need is yourself and don't forget to have fun! Additionally, I preach all the time about how important it is to stay on track with nutrition. The program also includes Autumn's easy to use portion-control container system and eating plan. The nutrition plan is based on portion sizes and balance allowing you to still have the foods you love in moderation. Additionally, if losing weight isn't your goal but you want to still be active the nutrition part of the program will have a category designed for people who want to maintain their current weight. There will also be vegan nutrition guide if that's your eating style.
Who is the trainer for Country Heat?
Autumn Calabrese, creator of 21 Day Fix, is the trainer for this program. Honest to goodness, Autumn's 21 Day Fix program was a game changer for me so I am pumped to complete this program as well. Country Heat is already predicted to be a program that many people will want to try. Autumn has become one of the favourite Beachbody personal trainers and I must admit I have fallen in love her too.
Do people get results from dancing for just 30 minutes a day?
I love that before every program is released to the general public Beachbody does a test group to ensure the program actually works. The last thing they would want happen is people to start purchasing the program and then the general public not seeing results once they complete the program. That's another reason why they have been around for as long as they have been around. They have a good reputation with the programs they have released (P90X, 21 Day Fix, Insanity) and I expect Country Heat to be no different. Take a look at some of the results from Beachbody's Country Heat's test group! INCREDIBLE!
Dancing is a fantastic workout (have you seen dancer's bodies? Toned!). The last dance program that I completed was Cize and I remember dripping in sweat after every dance session. Cize was the first workout program that Jeff, my significant other, had fallen in love with. He was just starting his journey so he was looking for something that didn't feel like work. If you have completed Cize don't expect Country Heat to be like Cize because it isn't. The only thing that these two programs have in common is that they are a great dance sweat session but the style is completely different.
What makes Country Heat unique?
There’s no choreography to remember. Honestly, I loved Cize (another Beachbody dance program) but there were several dance moves were strung together and at times were fast paced so sometimes I would lose my place in the workout. I was always able to pick it up quickly but I do know of people who had a hard time following the moves. Country Heat actually has a section that you can learn the moves one by one before the workout begins. It will add approximately 15 minutes to your routine which you can skip but if you struggle with some moves you are able to practice it before or after the workout session. My guess is that this will only need to be used once or twice (if at all) until you catch onto the moves. Country Heat is designed so people of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels can jump right in and begin. You don’t need to know how to dance. People who love Zumba are sure to love this program and people who really don't want to workout because it feels like work are also bound to love this program.
