Daily Check-in: Friday, July 19th...Prepare yourselves: a Kick A$$ Community Challenge 2 starts Monday (July 22nd)!

That's right: you heard it here first! We're gonna have another 5 day kickboxing challenge starting next week!

Hello Blenders, and Happy Friday (or Saturday) to you all!

How're you all doing today? I hope you're excited that it's basically the weekend!

And maybe also excited for a Kick A$$ Community Challenge Rd 2 on Monday (July 22nd)?

I certainly hope so!

And if you're wondering what this is all about, let me give you some dets to fill you in!

This is a 5 day workout challenge with primarily kickboxing videos. There will be three days of kickboxing workouts, with a day of different style training day in between (because 5 days straight of kickboxing would be too much). The idea is to start the challenge on Monday the 22nd, and finish it up on Friday the 26th. If this time-frame doesn't work for you, don't worry: you can do this challenge whenever you want! Whether you start earlier, or later, or take days off in between workouts--do whatever works best for you!

With that said, here's the workout schedule we have planned out:

Kick A$$ Community Challenge #2 (about 30-40 minutes/day)

Day 1: Kickboxing & Bodyweight Upper Body Strength: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/no-equipment-upper-body-and-cardio-kickboxing-workout

Day 2: Lower Body Strength & Pilates: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/at-home-strength-and-pilates-butt-and-thigh-workout

Day 3: Kickboxing & Core: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/cardio-kickboxing-workout-with-ab-exercises-37-minute-fat-melting-routine

Day 4: Bodyweight Lower Body Strength: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/lower-body-strength-and-endurance-challenge-beginner-or-advanced-lower-body-workout

Day 5: Kickboxing & Upper Body Strength: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/intense-hiit-cardio-kickboxing-and-upper-body-strength-workout

And feel free to switch up these workouts--or add extra credit--if you aren't a fan of one of them. Also, please don't push through a workout if you're really sore--take some time off, do some stretching--listen to your body! This is meant to be a fun and motivating challenge where we can all workout together next week, so do what works best for you! Take it at your own pace, and follow along however you'd like!

And how do we celebrate our #ChallengeCompletes next Friday? We usually add some kind of pic onto a post (maybe a thumbs-up, arm flex, sweaty shirt, Workout Complete screen) titled "#KickA$$ChallengeComplete" (now on one thread!! Yay!) so we can celebrate everyone's accomplishments! This is totally optional though, and not at all required--just something for fun if you want to do it!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns about this challenge, don't hesitate to speak up!

Ok, and with that, let's talk a bit about today!

How about some workouts for your Friday (or Saturday), Blenders? Is it a workout day or rest day for you?

I'm going to get in some core work today! Not sure which one, but probably this particular video: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/30-minute-core-strength-fitness-blender-advanced-core-workout

And what about some good food goin on today? What's on your menus, Blenders?

I'm thinkin it's an egg and veggie burrito kinda day! Supposed to be super extra mega hot and humid today, so quick and easy meal it is!

Well FB Fam, I think that's it from me today!

I hope you all have a lovely day, and thanks so much for checking in with me!

And I hope you can join in on our challenge starting on Monday! I look forward to working out with you all next week!
