Review: 22 Minute Hard Corpse


The shorter the workout, the harder it will be. This is somewhat true and can relate to any short timed workouts. But, it depends on what type of workout you are doing.
22 MHC is a 8 week program where you start not easy, but simple movements to help your muscles and cardio rate get ready for the other weeks to come.
This is a boot camp style program that is for intermediate fitness level people. Some moves are simple and some are hard. 
Here is the workout lineup:

  • Cold start- Just a simple warm up to get those muscles working and blood pumping before you start your workout. - 12 min 
  • Cardio 1- 7 moves, one calorie scorching workout. - 22 min
  • Cardio 2- like cardio 1 but 3 rounds of 7 moves that will test your limits. - 22 min
  • Cardio 3- Floor work and plyo moves. Get ready to sweat and burn that fat. Higher level of cardio 1 and 2. - 22 min
  • Core 1- 10 moves that will harden your core and get those muscles burning. - 10 min
  • Core 2- Reps are doubled and more hard core than core 1- 12 min
  • Resistance 1- 5 simple moves that are in a circuit training set. - 22 min 
  • Resistance 2- More resistance and more sweating. - 22 min
  • Resistance 3- Plyometric and resistance combined to test your endurance - 22 min 
  • Battle buddy- use the buddy system in this partner resistance training workout. - 22 min
Deluxe:
  • Special ops: cardio- These weighted cardio exercises utilize the Beachbody PT Sandbag to boost endurance and obliterate calories with extreme prejudice. - 22 min
  • Special ops: resistance- Three rounds of 5 advanced exercises that incorporate the variable-resistance Beachbody PT Sandbag to challenge your fitness even further. - 22 min
  • Special ops: core- This elite 10-move core workout hits your midsection hard to help you get ripped and ready for action. - 22 min.
As you can see the bigger the number, the harder the workout. I really liked this program, one because of the time and the other because it really felt like I was in a boot camp. Every program kicked my butt. 
I did not do the deluxe because I was doing this program with 2 other programs. 
I think my favs was cardio 1 and 2. Cardio 3 was a lot and I mean a lot of plyo and my knees and wrists arent ready for that yet. I did do it a couple times to get them use to it. 
Resistance ones were so organized and easy to learn moves. I was having fun and was sore the next day. 
Core I only did 1 because I was doing another core workout from the other programs I was doing. I really liked core 1. It really got my abs and even some hip action too. 

Instead of a shirt you get a really cool coin when you finish. 


Overall I think this program is well organized and can get major results if you follow the program and nutrition guide. Make sure you go at your maximum so you can get the best out of this program. 
 Below are my results. This took me almost 3 months instead 8 weeks cause of the hybrid I was doing.
