On Wednesday morning, 23rd January, we were excited to be invited to the UK launch of 28 by Sam Wood. The 28 minute workout and wellbeing programme designed and run by Australian personal trainer of 17 years (and star of the Australian reality TV show \u2018The Bachelor\u2019!), Sam Wood.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"28<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a new mum, fitting in a workout isn\u2019t always easy. Nor is getting out of the house before 7:30am. So it was with a certain degree of trepidation that I set my alarm on Tuesday ahead of the 8:30am launch the following day. As it was, all of the night feeds aligned in my favour. Fuelled by espresso, I raced my five-month-old out into the freezing morning and through rush hour traffic to arrive for my workout with Sam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I was so glad I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working out with Sam Wood<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sam and his team were incredibly welcoming and looked after us so well. Sam was such a genuine and enthusiastic guy, who clearly believes in the philosophy and efficacy of his 28 programme. He went above and beyond during the workout, holding my daughter, Florence, when she started fussing. He even disposed of a dirty nappy for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the 28 Programme?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 28 programme offers a range of exercise combinations depending on your fitness level. There are also options available for those who are pregnant or postpartum. For the launch event, Sam mixed up the workout to accommodate the range of abilities in the room. He demonstrated the variations for the different levels, but once you have the 28 app you can enjoy a programme tailored to you. The exercises in the app are designed to be performed anywhere at any time and require little or no equipment. For our routine we did a series of plank combinations, press-ups, jumping squats, forward and reverse lunges, v-sits and bridges. We used a band to add resistance to some of the moves, but really all you needed was a yoga mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing the 28 minutes with Florence in tow proved that she isn\u2019t an excuse to skip a workout. She was as good as gold, laying on my mat as I did press-ups and planks over her. In fact, she actually acted as that extra bit of motivation to keep smiling and not to collapse! She isn\u2019t always so accommodating when I put her down on my workout mat so I was pleasantly surprised how well she behaved. Although I suspect the loud music, flashing camera lights and cuddles with Sam had something to do with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘I Quit Sugar’ menu <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 28 app also includes a healthy eating plan from \u2018I Quit Sugar\u2019 author, Sarah Wilson<\/a>. New recipes are sent to you each week and there are vegetarian and gluten free options available. We enjoyed some of the delicious breakfast dishes from the 28 menu after our workout. I had a sweet and salty granola with coconut yogurt and blueberries, crushed avocado on sourdough toast and a carrot, orange and ginger juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the workout and menu, the 28 programme offers a 24\/7 motivational support system, with real-time guidance, tip and videos from Sam and his team to help to keep you on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With proven results from his extant followers, (numbering over 100,000 and with a combined weight loss of 32,000 stone!) \u201828 by Sam Wood\u2019 is an accessible fitness option for those of us who are time poor and may need that extra motivational push to help us reach our fitness and weight loss goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app and book<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The app costs \u00a328 per month, which is less than many gym memberships, and as such may offer a good alternative option if you know that getting to the gym isn\u2019t your strong point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"7<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If the idea of a subscription intimidates you, you can always sample Sam\u2019s style through either his 2017 book \u201828\u2019<\/a>, or his \u20187 Minutes to Better Health\u2019,<\/a> released last year. It contains 30 breakfast smoothie recipes, 30 salad recipes and 30 workouts many of which I have already earmarked to try out.

I really like Sam\u2019s straightforward approach to health, nutrition and exercise. I will certainly be using a combination of his exercises and recipes as part of my postpartum fitness regime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Who is it for:<\/strong> 28 is for anyone who enjoys home workouts but is looking for that bit of extra support in reaching their goals. Sam\u2019s biggest audience is within the female 28-50 age group, but this is by no means exclusive to this group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much:<\/strong> \u00a328\/month <\/p>\n\n\n\n
