The 21 Day Fix plan was the perfect way to start my fitness journey. It completely changed the way I think about eating. I'm not saying I eat perfectly all the time now (because I don't), but it's so much clearer how much of each food group I should have a day. Sometimes you think you're eating healthy and you're actually overindulging--too much fruit, for example, can halt your weight loss because of its carb and sugar content. I'm definitely taking in way more veggies than I did in the past. In any case, it is time to be moving along. Beach Body has so many types of workouts, but I knew exactly which one I wanted to do...because it looked completely badass.
LES MILLS COMBAT is a 60-day program based on MMA (mixed martial arts for you squares out there). It combines moves from boxing, karate, tae kwon do, muy thai, capoeira, and jiu jitsu. It also uses Fast Twitch Integration Training; which means it works your fast-twitch muscle fibers—the ones with the greatest capacity for change—like crazy.
WHY I CHOSE THIS PROGRAM
You have to choose what inspires you and will keep you motivated. I have always loved learning fighting moves. It's part of my aspiration to become a vigilante. I've talked before about how cardio ruins my life because of my sinus/breathing issues. This program has so much cardio in it, but because of what you're doing, it doesn't really feel like your typical cardio. It's an awesome way to move from being moderately fit to being a complete WARRIOR! Speaking of, here's my schedule:

I did the Basics dvd last week in preparation and was already excited. It shows you some of the Basic moves. Today was Kickstart 30 and shew...I don't think they believe in water breaks. But I feel like I was killing it. And I've got my weighted gloves to intensify it. Pretty excited.
So it's vigilante training time. Next stop:
