You can make this workout harder too, by adding weights where appropriate to some of the bodyweight moves--and if that's not quite challenging enough, let me offer you a bit of extra credit kickboxing to really torch those muscles: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/fat-blasting-at-home-cardio-kickboxing-workout-video. Just remember to always take things at your own pace, and listen to your body!
And if you're wondering what this is all about, here's some info about what's going on!
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 (today), 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$$ Community Challenge #2 (about 30-40 minutes/day)
And feel free to switch up these workouts--or add extra credit--if you aren't a fan of one of them. Also, please don't push through a workout if you're really sore--take some time off, do some stretching--listen to your body! This is meant to be a fun and motivating challenge where we can all workout together next week, so do what works best for you! Take it at your own pace, and follow along however you'd like!
And how do we celebrate our #ChallengeCompletes next Friday? We usually add some kind of pic onto a post (maybe a thumbs-up, arm flex, sweaty shirt, Workout Complete screen) titled "#KickA$$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!
How're you doin today Blenders? How did your weekend go?
We had a good one! It stormed again on Saturday, but that meant that Furry Trainers and I curled up and took some nice long naps! haha. Sunday we hung out with some of Hubby's friends by the river, and had a grand ol' time! (Yay, I socialized! There were dogs there too--so even better! haha)
And if you're not taking part in the challenge this week, what do your workouts look like for today? Are you working out or are you resting?
It's Day 1 of the challenge for me today!
And what about some good food goin on today, Blenders? What's on your menu?
I'm thinking soup! It's a bit cooler today, and soup with a bunch of fresh veggies sounds really awesome right now!
Ok, FB Fam, that's enough from me today!
I hope you all have a lovely day, and thanks so much for checking in with me!
Enjoy those workouts, and go kick some a$$ today, Blenders!
