Daily Check-in: Friday, July 26th & KICK A$$ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE RD2 DAY 5!
Happy Friday (or Saturday) Blenders!
Can you believe it?! We've made it to the end of our Kick A$$ Challenge already!
If you've followed along this far, I just wanna thank you so much for joining in on this challenge! It's been super fun, and you guys are awesome!
And after I'm done posting here, I'll create a separate #KickA$$ChallengeComplete post where we can all celebrate the hard work we've put in this past week! So feel free to post on there, or share a pic of your challenge complete, once you've finished your Kick A$$ workout!
Don't be fooled by the fact that the kickboxing section is only 8 minutes--because those 8 minutes are some of the most sweat-inducing minutes ever! And if you're struggling, look at it this way: it's only 8 minutes! That's like 2 songs! So if you workout to music, find two of your favorite kick a$$ songs, and before you know it, you'll be on to the strength training portion in no time! (If you're in the mood for kickboxing music recommendations, may I offer you either "I Am the Fire" or "Vicious" by Halestorm, and "Hustle" by P!nk?)
Since this is one of my favorite workouts to do, and I've done it countless times, I like to find extra routines to pair with it! I did a combo of today's workout with this Pushups From Hell routine: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/at-home-upper-body-workout-quick-upper-body-strength-without-weights last week, and I gotta say, it hurrtttss so good! haha. So if you're looking for an upper body torching extra credit, that's a fun one!
Ok, so, I'm also gonna keep re-posting the same reminders about our challenge throughout the week, so if you've already read all these details below, feel free to scroll past it!
And if you're wondering what this challenge is all about, here's some info about what's going on!
This is a 5 day workout challenge with primarily kickboxing videos. There will be three days of kickboxing workouts, with a day of different style training day in between (because 5 days straight of kickboxing would be too much). The idea is to start the challenge on Monday the 22nd (ish), and finish it up on Friday the 26th (ish). If this time-frame doesn't work for you, don't worry: you can do this challenge whenever you want! Whether you start earlier, or later, or take days off in between workouts--do whatever works best for you!
With that said, here's the workout schedule we have planned out:
Kick A$$ 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$$ChallengeComplete" (now on one thread!! Yay!) so we can celebrate everyone's accomplishments! This is totally optional though, and not at all required--just something for fun if you want to do it!
If you have any questions, comments, concerns about this challenge, don't hesitate to speak up!
How're you all doing today, Blenders? Sore from workouts?
How about those in Europe right now? Are you guys surviving the heat?
That's so extremely hot over there, I hope you stay safe! Remember to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate some more! Stay in the shade, in front of fans, AC if you got it, or go for a swim! Whatever you need to stay cool, please be safe, and don't forget your pets too!
And don't worry about workouts when it's that hot--that's risking heat stroke and exhaustion. Take it easy, caz the workouts will be there when it cools down again--which I hope is very soon for you all!
So, if you are not in the midst of the massive heat wave, are you planning on working out today, or is it a rest day for you?
I'm gonna be doin Day 5 of the challenge, alongside the Pushups From Hell routine! Burn that upper body out! haha
And how about some good food goin on today? What's on the menu for today, Blenders?
I'm thinkin chicken with veggies! Easy and delicious!
Well FB Fam, that's enough from me today!
I hope you all have a lovely day, and thanks so much for checking in with me!
Take care, stay safe (and cool too), and try to make today great!
And remember, whenever you finish up the Kick A$$ Community Challenge, keep an eye out for the #KickA$$ChallengeComplete post, and post there once you're done so we can celebrate together!
