Supreme 90 - Adding to the Challenge

(click here if you want to see where you can order it! It's less than $20!)

I had to post about this workout! Why? Because it's just awesome. I have done some insanity, P90X, Biggest Loser Work Outs, Jillian Micheal Workouts... and this is my favorite by far. All of them are awesome and I would do any of them (as I like to mix it up), BUT this one is just great.

1) Cost - It's so inexpensive and you get 10 discs. You need a workout ball and free weights and you are set.

2) Time - Most of us do not have a lot of extra time these days... from getting to and from work, taking care of a family, going to school, feeding our family, and maybe sneaking in some good reality tv, there just isn't enough time. These workouts are from 20-45 mins. There is a warm up and cool down if you have time for those, but if you skip, the longest is 46 mins. (yes, it's good to stretch, but sometimes you just have to do it in the shower or while getting dressed to get out the door on time)
Here is the times of each DVD:
Chest & Back – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 22:14, Cool Down: 5:57
Ultimate Ball – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 30:33, Cool Down: 5:57
Tabata Inferno – Workout: 37:45, Cool Down – 5:57
Shoulders & Arms – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 32:49, Cool Down: 5:57
Cardio Challenge – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 31:06, Cool Down: 5:57
Legs – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 22:51, Cool Down: 5:57
Total Body – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 23:17, Cool Down: 5:57
Core Dynamics – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 18:06, Cool Down: 5:57
Back & Bi’s – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 46:22, Cool Down: 5:57
Chest, Shoulders & Tri’s – Warm Up: 4:19, Workout: 34:51, Cool Down: 5:57
Supreme Rock Hard Abs (Bonus DVD) – Workout: 6:22

3) They are challenging and work all muscles but they go quick so even if it's not a cardio workout, your heart rate is up because it's fast.

4) Anyone can do these.

5) Variety. With so many discs, you don't get bored.

6) There are some abs in all workouts and the Ultimate Ball workout is a core work out. You feel silly doing some of the moves but you feel it afterwards.

Here's another description from their website.
"Get ripped in just 90 days with Supreme 90 Day! Ordinary workouts lose steam because muscles plateau, so you stop seeing results. Supreme 90 Day employs the power of muscle confusion to accelerate results. Each routine brings on muscle shocking moves. Your body stays challenged and you keep getting stronger! In an independent clinical study, an astounding 88% of participants shed excess body fat and gained muscle sculpted bodies. Get five DVDs for your strength routines to build lean muscles, three DVDs for fat destroying cardio routines and two DVDs for your core and ab blasting workouts. You also get "SUPREME NUTRITION" by New York Times best-selling author, Tosca Reno. Eat more, boost your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning machine with Supreme 90 Day!"

Combining these with our shakes is going to give us the protein we need to build some muscles!

I am training for a 10K with Sabrina now, but I am thinking that I know Jodi was going to give this a shot so I think I may just join her in the journey.  Anyone else in?

Favorites


In our house, we are really enjoying the shakes. Some days, when time gets away from us, and we just want to eat quick, we find ourselves just making another shake... because we know they are healthy and quick, we just drink it up and move on with our day.
 
These are our current favorites!
 
Chocolate Covered Cherries: 8 oz. Almond milk, 2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix, 10 frozen dark sweet cherries, 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, & 5 ice cubes. Blend well in blender.

Strawberry Banana: 8 oz. Almond milk, 2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix, 2/3 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 Frozen Banana & 4 ice cubes. Blend well in blender.

Butterfinger: 8 oz. Almond milk, 2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix, 2 Tbsp. sugar free butterscotch pudding mix, 1 Tbsp. reduced-fat peanut butter & 5 ice cubes. Blend well in blender. (I really liked this with crunchy peanut butter!)

Cookies and Cream: 8 oz. Almond milk, 2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix, 2 Tbsp. Cookies and Cream pudding mix & 5 ice cubes. Blend well in blender. (I haven't found the sugar free kind yet)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup: 8 oz. Almond milk, 2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix, 1 Tbsp. reduced fat peanut butter, 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, & 6 ice cubes. Blend well in blender.

Why Oh Why?



I keep thinking about trying to explain why I have gotten involved with these shakes and why I want to tell others.

1) I know in this world being 100% healthy all the time is impossible, so finding something to eat that is good for you and healthy is something I can't pass up. Food... eating... it's enjoyable and makes me happy. If something healthy can be exciting to eat. I am in.

2) Drinking the shakes and sharing with others makes me happy and motivated.

3) It's important to have protein in the morning and as a key part of meals. This does the trick.

4) As a Mom, getting yourself something to eat and out the door is not an easy task. Making food for many and focusing on yourself doesn't come easy. I whip up a shake in 3 minutes and can be out the door. It's filling and I am satisfied and happy. Hungry = crabby.

5) The shake can and has provided a sense of motivation to make healthier choices and is helping me drop the ten pounds that are the hardest to shake.

Keep on Keeping on.

Kristy

1) What do you think of the taste of the shake - honestly. I truly love the taste of these shakes.  With so many flavor options I can make a shake for whatever mood I'm in or have taste for.  
2) What date did you start the shake? April 28th What day are you on? Starting my 2nd 90 day challenge and I am on day 15
3) What is your goal for the first 30 days? To workout at least 6 days a week and start eating healthier
4) What is your goal for 60 days? Continue with the program and continue to on changing my lifestyle
5) What is your goal for 90 days?To lose as much weight as I could before my wedding and win the biggest loser at school ( I lost 38 lbs and won the biggest loser with a total weight loss of 14%)
6) You know that diet alone does not make you lose weight. What type of exercise are you willing to try? I have honestly always enjoyed some kind of workout.  For my 2nd 90 day challenge my goal is to work out 6 days a week.  2 days a week... 5 days?
7) Are you full on the shake? The first week I wasn't but after I got in a good 7 days the shakes filled me up.  At times I do have to eat a healthy snack high in protein or fiber.
8) You already completed one 90 day challenge. What kit did you use and What were your results? I started with the shape kit but quickly moved up to the transformation kit because of having three people sign up under me and finally made it to the fit kit.  At the end of my first 90 day challenge I was down 38 lbs and 15 days into my 2nd 90 day challenge I am down 7 lbs.  What did you find to be the hardest part? The first week when my stomach wasn't used to less food and the lack of solid foods (this is easily solved by adding granola or graham cracker to your shake or having a granola bar with your shake)
