F45 is nothing like Fitness Blender!

Hi fbf! How is everyone going? I’m pretty good. A couple weeks back I made a post about being curious about F45 and so I decided to do a week trial to see how it compares to my beloved at-home fitness blender routines.

I’ve just come back from my morning workout (day 2) which was called Tokyo Disco and is a strength session doing both upper and lower body exercises. My glutes are pretty sore and I was forced to work my abs so they hurt too šŸ˜‚. But it’s funny though, I never seem to challenge myself enough when I do fitness with a group of people. I guess I get freaked and pick a lighter weight coz I don’t want to make a fool out of myself in front of everyone, but then I leave feeling like I could’ve done better. Whereas at home, I don’t care about the ugly grunting and facial expressions I make while trying to lift heavy, I just keep going until I’m a sweaty mess. Anyone else?

But that’s probably more of a me problem than F45s šŸ˜‚.

One criticism I would have so far is the trainers say ā€œyou can modify for your fitness levelā€ but they didn’t really create a space that would allow anyone to feel comfortable not going 100%. When you’re depleted and the trainer comes round and screams ā€œtwelve more! twelve more!ā€ Haha you can’t just stop.

F45 is interesting and I’ll see how it goes the rest of the week but Fitness Blender will always be my go-to, my one true love. Maybe I’ll get myself a barbell and just practise at home šŸ’Ŗ.

Cheers to new kinds of fitness! So far I’ve tried Pole, boxing, CrossFit, acrobatics and Pump. Anyone got any other training style recommendations I should try? (Psstt It’s great for getting out of a plateau)
