Daily Check-in: Wednesday, July 24th & KICK A$$ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE RD2 DAY 3!
Hello Blenders!
How're you all doin today? If you did Day 2 of the challenge yesterday, is your lower body talkin to ya? (Mine definitely is! Those step-through lunges tho, amirite?)
And can you believe it's Wednesday/Day 3 of our challenge/halfway through the work week already?!
I'm so glad it is, because I'm very much looking forward to the weekend!
But before then, we still got a bunch of kickboxing to do! So
for today's workout, for Day 3 of our Kick A$$ Challenge, we're gonna channel our inner Adam West Batman, and BAM POW BANG out a kickboxing and core routine!
And fair warning, the core section in the middle of this routine moves very quickly. I handle this by seeing what the upcoming move is, pause the video, get my 14 reps done, and then continue on. I don't like rushing my moves, so that works better for me. Just thought I'd give you all a heads up!
(And if you'd like a bit more core work, how about this standing abs routine for an extra credit today:
Ok, so, 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 (ish), and finish it up on Friday the 26th (ish). 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!
