The lovely ladies from Booty Camp Fitness recently sent me their new Ultimate Home Edition 11-disc workout plan to try out. I am a big fan of their first workout DVDs, so I was really excited to try their newest series. Sammie Kennedy- the Creator of Booty Camp Fitness- and the other amazing boot-camp instructors have a very friendly and laid-back style, making even the biggest exercise newbie feel confident. When you think of a โboot campโ workout, you often think of instructors screaming at you and lots of intensity. This isnโt Booty Campโs style at all. Itโs all about having fun, empowering women, and making it seem like you are working out with a few of your girlfriends (who just happen to know some killer workout exercises).
The 11-disc series contain the following workouts:

The DVDs come with a workout calendar, jump rope, measuring tape, lifestyle guide, and e-cookbook as well. Iโve been testing out the workouts since the end of December and Iโm starting the 2-month plan this week.

The workout that I love to hate? 20-minute Bounce โn Burn (jump rope)
Burn isnโt even the word! My legs feel like bricks when I do this workout. The last time I jumped rope was probably in grade school so it wasnโt pretty the first time I did it. After a couple painful sessions, Iโve relearned how to jump rope without whipping myself like silly (tip: wear long pants!). It will probably take me at least a few more sessions until Iโm not gasping for air..itโs an intense 20 minutes, even with alternating jumping rope with strength exercises.

So far the videos are going well and Iโm loving the variety of the 11 workouts. My muscles hate me though, so Iโve been making sure to stretch a lot, take my rest days when needed, and get lots of protein following tough workouts.
Like with this Triple lentil Recovery Soup!
Packed with over 25 grams of protein per serving, this soup will aid with post-workout recovery and get you back in the game in no time.

Prepare yourself for a high protein and flavourful soup, great for all those sore muscles that we often have at the beginning of the year. A little bit goes a long way with this soup! Itโs extremely filling and lovely with a toasted bun or piece of bread.

Itโs a bit of an โugly ducklingโ soup, but I think we learned not to judge food by its appearance long ago. ;)
