Real V Shred Review: “My first weeks of 75 Hard with V Shred”
If you’re a mom, you know how challenging it can feel to start or maintain your fitness journey postpartum…
Which is no surprise given the lack of sleep, feet-dragging fatigue, and limited time for workouts that come with caring for a newborn.
This was no different for YouTuber and new mom, Sarai Jones (3.57M+ subscribers), who bravely took on the 75 Hard challenge with a twist:
She used V Shred’s “Toned In 90 Days” program that took all the guesswork out of her postnatal fitness journey.
Sarai, 10 months postpartum at the time of her video, was desperately searching for a way to lose the baby weight, feel her best, and challenge herself.
While the original 75 Hard rules seemed daunting, Sarai tailored the challenge to fit her lifestyle as a new mom, creating her own “75 Sarai Soft” version.
Her modified rules included:
- Following a healthy diet
- Allowing alcohol only during special occasions
- Working out once a day for 30 minutes – 1 hour
- Drinking a gallon of water daily
- Taking weekly progress pics and videos
- Doing one thing that makes her happy every day
Armed with her modified rules and V Shred’s “Toned in 90 Days” program, Sarai embarked on her journey.
She used V Shred’s program to figure out exactly what and how much to eat along with what workouts to do, giving her everything she needed to stay on track and motivated.
Plus, it includes quick 30-minute home workouts, perfect for new moms who can’t cough up the time for daily hour-long gym sessions…
Which we totally understand when your newborn becomes the priority.
The program’s lack of excessive cardio or restrictive diets was also a huge plus for Sarai.
Despite all this, she was shocked to still find herself working up a sweat with just a few simple exercises.
But what’s an inspiring story without some difficult, yet human, hiccups?
As any new parent knows, the demands of child care can be all-consuming, leaving little room for me-time and personal goals…
…let alone getting some much-needed shut-eye.
But by being creative with her schedule and making the most of her son’s nap times, she managed to carve out time for her daily sweat sessions and meal prep…
Made even easier by V Shred’s quick, yet burn-inducing, home workouts.
Another obstacle Sarai encountered was the occasional feelings of self-doubt and frustration…
Because adapting to her postpartum body, along with the challenges of motherhood, left her feeling overwhelmed and understandably emotional at times.
Luckily, she found cushion-like comfort in the support of the V Shred community and the knowledge that she was taking positive steps towards her goals.
While her journey is far from over, Sarai’s first two weeks of 75 Hard with V Shred have already shown her the incredible impact that small, consistent changes can have on both physical and mental health.
Her story is proof that with the right mindset and support, and a program tailored to your lifestyle and genetics, even busy new moms can change their lives pretty quickly.
