Daily Check-in: Thursday, July 25th & KICK A$$ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE RD2 DAY 4!
That's right folks--we're already to Day 4!! Can you believe it?!
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Blenders!
How're you all doing today?
Are you feeling that kickboxing level soreness from yesterday's workout?!
Why yes, Kim, I am! Upper body and core is feeling sufficiently worked!
That means it's a great day for a lower body routine, right? So let's get on our Storm Trooper gear (complete with leg warmers and sweat band!), and get this one done!
This is a really awesome routine to add weights onto as well--if you're really looking to up the workout ante!
You'll probably also notice that I've not included a lower body HIIT routine in this community challenge. I felt we'd get in enough cardio from the kickboxing workouts, so it wasn't necessary to add one in.
These are just suggestions, so please don't feel like you have to do any extra! The main routine is enough! But if you're feeling a little extra energetic, then by all means, HIIT that extra credit hard! (Bah dum tsss, Kim. 🤦)
Oh! And I had a thought in regards to our #KickA$$ChallengeComplete celebration! I will start a separate thread for it after the Daily Check-in tomorrow (Friday, July 26th), and we can just add to it as we finish it! Does that work for you guys? (I'm also thinking we need a repeat of some Chuck Norris Action Pant photos in celebration--lookin at you Lisa!😂 haha) Let me know what you guys think about that!
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!
How about some workouts to celebrate? Or maybe some celebratory rest is in order? (That should totally be a thing.)
But alas! It's a workout day for me! I will do Day 4 of our Kick A$$ Challenge, and maybe even some extra credit!
What about some good food goin on today? What's on your menus, Blenders?
I'm not gonna lie, I've been really bad at meal planning lately, so I have no idea! haha. We've always got eggs and ton of veggies when all else fails! So we might be doing that again for supper!
Well FB Fam, that's about it from me today!
Thanks so much for checking in with me! I hope you have a lovely day, and kick all the a$$ in your workouts (or rest) today!
Daily Check-in: Thursday, July 25th & KICK A$$ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE RD2 DAY 4!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Blenders!

Why yes, Kim, I am! Upper body and core is feeling sufficiently worked!
That means it's a great day for a lower body routine, right? So let's get on our Storm Trooper gear (complete with leg warmers and sweat band!), and get this one done!
Here's Day 4's workout: Bodyweight Lower Body Strength: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/lower-body-strength-and-endurance-challenge-beginner-or-advanced-lower-body-workout
This is a really awesome routine to add weights onto as well--if you're really looking to up the workout ante!
You'll probably also notice that I've not included a lower body HIIT routine in this community challenge. I felt we'd get in enough cardio from the kickboxing workouts, so it wasn't necessary to add one in.
However, if you feel like you're missing out on some lower body HIIT, I think today would be a great day to add some in as extra credit! (May I recommend this routine, complete with it's own warm up? https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/fat-burning-hiit-workout-bodyweight-hiit-cardio-workout-with-low-impact-modifications ) Personally, I would do this before the main workout just to avoid doing HIIT on tired legs--if you want to that is! It's totally optional extra credit!
Pilates would also be another awesome extra credit option if HIIT isn't your thing today! (Like this routine: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/leg-slimming-pilates-butt-and-thigh-workout-to-lift-glutes-and-tone-thighs )
These are just suggestions, so please don't feel like you have to do any extra! The main routine is enough! But if you're feeling a little extra energetic, then by all means, HIIT that extra credit hard! (Bah dum tsss, Kim. 🤦)

Excited that it's nearly the weekend?
