Back in early April of 2016, I started the 22 Minute Hard Corps workout program. I was pretty excited about this program for a few reasons;

• Tony Horton was the trainer
• The workouts were 22 minutes in length
• I was going through the entire program with my wife, Debbie.

Given the schedule for this program is 8 week, our starting date would have us wrapping up the program the weekend prior to Memorial Day. Memorial Day is typically when summer starts for most of the US population; the weather is warmer, the kiddos are out of school and the pools are opening up – ready for lots of swimming and lounging. So naturally, we all want to try and look our best as this all occurs, so the timing of this program could not have been better.

22 Minute Hard Corps Review

I recorded a video review of the 22 Minute Hard Corps program, check it out below.

Containers vs. Tracking Calories

As I mentioned in the video, I did not use the container that accompany the program, but this wasn’t because I don’t think the container system is flawed in anyway. I don’t use the container system, because for me, it is easier and more habitual to use a calorie tracking method to hit my macros and caloric intake. It would take me adopting a new habit to implement the containers and I feel like that would be tough for me to juggle since I already have a system that works for me and I am able to get the results I am after using something like My Fitness Pal.

I did create an online version of the Portion Control calculator, allowing you to determine the containers that you will need/use with this program. Check out the Portion Control Calculator here:
