Country Heat is a high-energy, low-impact dance workout that’s so simple and so fun, you’ll love it from the very first step. Each 30-minute routine is packed with easy-to-follow dance moves set to the hottest country music.

What makes Country Heat effective?

Because it’s so much fun, you’ll want to actually stick with it! Country Heat makes it fun and easy to get fit.

• 5 high-energy dance workouts and 1 Dance Conditioning workout give you all the calorie-burning benefits of a great cardio workout while using every muscle in your body to fire up your metabolism.
  
• No complicated moves, no weights or equipment—just follow along for 30 minutes.
  
• Dancing to country music is such a blast, it barely feels like a workout! 
• Autumn’s foolproof portion-control container system and Eating Plan let you lose weight by eating what you want in just the right amounts.

Country Heat is designed so people of all ages, sizes, and all fitness levels can jump right in and begin.  You don't need to know how to dance; you just need to follow along and move your body to get results.  It's a great follow-up program for 21 Day Fix users, who want to continue to lose weight with a low impact cardio program.  If you are someone that has tried complicated diet plans, this program is great for you too.  

I'm going to be honest, I was a little nervous to start this 30 day program. I had just come off of bikini prep, where I was lifting weights daily.  This program is very different in that it's mainly cardio. I was also nervous that it was a dance workout, and I am not a dancer. I tried Cize and just couldn't get the hang of it, so I didn't stick with it (I think I just didn't give it enough time) I was nervous that these 30 minute workouts wouldn’t feel like a workout because I thought I would be stumbling through the steps, but I was happily surprised that she really breaks down the steps for you and I am sweating and getting a good workout in.

My honest opinion after a week – I freaking love it. 
After a week, I'm feeling more confident in moving and dancing because there are no complicated steps or long routines. You do one move, a second move, and then you put the two moves together and move on to a different set.  

For people like me that get overwhelmed with a bunch of steps to remember, you'll love this because it is really kept simple and easy to follow.  

Lots of fun moves in these workouts, anyone at any fitness level or age can do this. And it IS a workout, because the more you get familiar with the steps, the more flare you can add to it to burn more calories. But be patient in the first week and trust the process. You WILL get it, and then it's gonna look awesome and you're gonna feel super confident!

Okay so lets talk about nutrition, because everyone knows it goes hand in hand.

 This nutrition plan is simple, effective and you're going to feel fantastic when putting these healthy foods that are listed in the plan, into your body.

Let me take some weight off your shoulders and tell you, it WILL work. If you're looking for something for weight loss, skip the crash diets and quick weight-loss fads. This nutrition plan teaches you how to portion your foods and how to eat the way our body was intended to eat. You WILL lose weight, you WILL have more energy, and you're going to be feeling the best you ever have when you're putting nutritious food into your body each day.

You have 6 different coloured containers and you get to fill each of them up a certain number of times a day according to your goals and caloric need.  In the nutrition plan, there is a list of food that you choose from and it's as easy as filling them up with your choices each day, and checking off each container serving for the day for a very well rounded diet.  There are many new recipes in your nutrition plan too! Sometimes I just get stuck in a rut of eating the same meals and snacks so I was excited to try some new things this week.

Here was my week #1 Meal Plan

Nutrition is 85% of it you cannot exercise out a bad diet. You have to have a really great diet. I use Shakeology right after a workout or when I'm running around on the weekends with the kids as something convenient and quick, its a great tool.

Food is what gives you your energy and fuel. And if you are giving your body the best cellular nutrition, you are absolutely going to feel your absolute best.

Someone once told me to think of my body as a car, and you leave it sitting in the driveway for months and months without taking it for a drive. It's just really not going to run that well. Also, if you put low grade fuel in your beautiful fancy racecar, the race car will only do so much. If you put high grade fuel in your racecar, it's going to do a whole lot better. Look at your nutrition as fuel for your beautiful race car. 
Unfortunately, this day and age it's hard not to look at food as so many other things, celebratory, rewards, a pick me up. We never stop and think about food as what its true purpose is, to fuel your body and keep it running at optimum levels. Shakeology enhances that with its quality and quantity of the ingredients. You are getting cellulatory satisfied, and when that happens, you'll start to start craving those healthier things.  That is why I choose to add this into my daily routine each and every day.  For that extra dose of nutrition for complete and optimum health.  When you can see how much better you can feel when drinking it, you'll see why nutrition is so important and look at food a whole lot differently, I certainly have and it's helped me lose all my pregnancy baby weight and more, and also gives me that optimal energy I need to keep up with my kids!
