Daily Check-in: Tuesday, July 23rd & KICK A$$ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE RD2 Day 2!
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Blenders!
How're you all feeling today?
If you're following along with our challenge, are you feelin that signature "I did kickboxing yesterday" soreness? Caz I know I am! Whew! Those shoulders and upper back are talkin to me!
That means it's a perfect day for a lower body workout then, right?
Well, good news, everyone! That's exactly what we're gonna do!
(And I'm gonna think about food the whole time, just like that little owl(?) up there. ⬆️)
This one's a good one, but a toughie! You do 12 reps of each exercise instead of your standard 10--and boy, do those extra 2 reps make a difference! Make sure you adjust your weights as needed--and as always, listen to your body! Don't overdo it!
I'm also gonna keep re-posting the same reminders about our challenge throughout the week, so if you've already read all these details below, feel free to scroll past it!
And if you're wondering what this challenge is all about, here's some info about what's going on!
This is a 5 day workout challenge with primarily kickboxing videos. There will be three days of kickboxing workouts, with a day of different style training day in between (because 5 days straight of kickboxing would be too much). The idea is to start the challenge on Monday the 22nd (today), and finish it up on Friday the 26th. If this time-frame doesn't work for you, don't worry: you can do this challenge whenever you want! Whether you start earlier, or later, or take days off in between workouts--do whatever works best for you!
With that said, here's the workout schedule we have planned out:
Kick A$$ 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!

Ok, so, here's today's scheduled workout: Day 2: Lower Body Strength & Pilates: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/at-home-strength-and-pilates-butt-and-thigh-workout

(And if you're looking for a bit of extra credit today, may I offer you this 5 minute never-stop-burning lower body routine: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/5-minute-butt-and-thigh-workout-for-a-bigger-butt-exercises-to-lift-and-tone-your-butt-and-thighs ?)
