1. Do I still like the program? Yes I do! Every single workout is different and that has really helped me get out of my plateau that I was on. It has been nice to feel sore after a workout. (I am the weirdo that actually likes feeling sore, makes me feel like I really did something).
2. Do I like every workout I do? Nope. DailyBurn's Black Fire program is intense and it pushes you to get out of your comfort zone. The style is a lot of HIIT training and reminds me of Crossfit (just without the weights). But, there are several workouts that are gymnastics inspired and they really throw me for a loop. Give me burpees, thrusters, and box jumps any day of the week and I will knock them out (huffing and puffing along the way), but the handstand kick-ups and push ups to bridges get me. I found myself getting mad this week during one of the gymnastics workouts. I felt silly and uncomfortable...it took everything I had to finish it. But, I finished and was drenched in sweat.
If you read this article here: http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/dailyburn-black-fire-bob-harper-fitness-program/, it really explains that all of those feels that I feel (the discomfort, etc.) is totally normal and the workouts were designed to be challenging.
3. Have I lost weight? No. But I wasn't looking to lose weight either. I am at the pre-pregnancy weight I wanted to be at, but I didn't have much muscle and I wanted to really tone up what I had. While I haven't lost weight, I have leaned out and gained muscle. I am starting to see abs again. I am pleased with that. You can lose weight on this program though, there are examples of weight loss stories on their website.
4. What's next when the 60-day Black Fire program is over? The great thing about DailyBurn, is there are TONS of programs to choose from based on your fitness level and your goals. I have been eyeing one or two other programs that I want to switch to afterwards. I would like to find one where I work out 4 days a week or so, that way on the other days I can pick up my running again. Black Fire is a 5 day per week workout schedule so I really only get to run if I still have energy after one of the scheduled workouts.
5. What's your favorite thing about DailyBurn and Black Fire? I love that I can stream DailyBurn anywhere and that it's so much cheaper than a gym membership. I can do whatever workout I want any time of the day. What I love most about Black Fire, is that no workout exceeds 30 minutes. It's quick and effective and then I am done to relax.
I will definitely let ya'll know my results once I have completed the 60-day Black Fire program in a few weeks.
XOXO,
Sherri
