Run it out! Maybe....🤔
If you know me, I dance like I'm 5'10 and can spin on a dime! But I am the one who falls off the curb or trips on the stairs...All. The. Time.
But there is something that I have always envied about runners and cyclists...the freedom they must feel when it's just them and the wind in their face and the music in there ears. Runners always seem so dedicated and passionate about that run of the day. They run in the rain, on trails, up mountains...anywhere their feet can take them. Pretty cool in my book.
What I love about the idea of running? 💖
💖The Challenge...I am my own worst competition.
💖 The grand detoxifying sweat! I love a hot yoga room or steamy garage..hello garage grind!
💖The scenery...who wouldn't love to be among nature and alone with only your thoughts?
💖The physical benefits...runners have great legs and buns! Mother Nature is giving me a hefty battle and any muscle tone I can build and keep is a WIN!
💖Heart Health. Heart disease runs violently in my family and I am at high risk. I want to keep my heart strong, and continue improving my endurance and stamina. I find that maintaining my cardiovasuclar output is a little tougher each year and much harder as I age.
What I don't love about running?🤔
😏 Running.
Running on concrete is not friendly to my knees or back. Those old dancer injuries ya know. I can appreciate the effort and the progress that runners make, especially if the started from the couch. I probably run incorrectly which is why I am looking for some guidance from Idalis Velazquez, a NASM-certified personal trainer and creator of Mes de Mas and 30 Day Breakaway. She’s been a dedicated athlete since her days in Puerto Rico, where she ranked nationally as a track-and-field star for 10 years.
Our 30 Day Breakaway challenge is a chance to breakaway from unhealthy habits we might have developed this year. To breakaway from the fears and limiting beliefs that convince us we can’t be runners. To breakaway from the mundane, the usual, and to prove to ourselves that we’re always stronger than we think!
Over the course of 30 days we’re gonna learn to love running. And if we don’t, we’ll at least learn to appreciate it. To control our breath. To push our bodies. To enjoy the scenery and the journey. 30 Day Breakaway is going to help us build a strong, lean physique, and use that strength and stamina to take on whatever our days throw at us as well as a virtual Turkey Trot 5K!
What makes 30 Day Breakaway unique?
It’s Beachbody’s first program to combine body-sculpting strength training with the fat-burning power of running - a super-effective approach that helps you get more results in less time...and an unbelievable transformation at the 5K finish line. In just 30 days, you can run a 5K - and we’re going to celebrate and commemorate that victory with a Beachbody provided medal AND I’m having a special Turkey Trot 5K T-shirt designed just for our group which you’ll have the chance to order for race day!
With audio options to take your runs outside, you can pop on your headphones and break away from your living room. Which we can all use right now, am I right? If you can’t get outside, Idalis leads you through video-based runs set against beautiful backdrops that you can do on your treadmill - she even includes a rainy day cardio routine in case getting outdoors or running indoors isn’t an option.
This is a running meets resistance training challenge designed to get us fitter and faster. Idalis will lead us through fast and effective resistance workouts followed by interval training runs that push us for short bursts at a level that’s right for you, whether that’s a brisk walk, slow jog or steady run. You’ll have the option to choose between video or audio only workouts in English or Spanish.
Idalis will teach us how to train smarter, by combining lifting to build lean muscle with our breakaway runs, even those of us who have never run before or never saw ourselves as runners will be able to cross that 5K Turkey Trot finish line.
The workouts are 20-40 minutes, 6 days a week. To make the most of the days you’ll be resistance training (and to help relieve tired muscles when you’re not), you’ll need:
A set of light, medium, and heavy dumbbells
Beachbody Resistance Loops
A foam roller
A good pair of running shoes
What else is included with the group?
Because health and wellness are about so much more than just how we move our bodies. This group will also include:
Nutrition information and education. Choose between 2B Mindset (intuitive eating) and Ultimate Portion Fix if you thrive on structure. Both nutrition programs come free when you purchase a Challenge Pack and each offers a unique approach to weight loss that lets you eat the foods you love while helping you tackle emotional roadblocks that can keep you from breakthrough results. 2B Mindset lets you eat larger volumes of the right foods to help keep you satisfied, while Ultimate Portion Fix takes the guesswork out of eating with color-coded containers that measure out perfectly portioned meals. You’ll also get 7-day sample meal plans no matter which program you decide to follow.
30 Day Self-Care calendar with ideas to help you rest and reset and care for your body and mind.
Weekly affirmations to support you in developing positive self talk habits and a strong mindset focused on gratitude and positivity so you can attract more joy and good into your life every day!
