New Challenge, New Workouts! FB 3 x 3: 3 Weeks of Strength, HIIT, Cardio, and Core!
Good morning FB Family!
Welcome to my Week 1, Day 1workout of our latest challenge, FB 3 x 3! This 3-week challenge was designed to help you maintain movement and training consistency during a busy phase of life when schedules become packed with competing priorities. The 9, all new and roughly 20-minute workouts (3 weeks, 3 workouts per week) in this challenge include focuses on strength, HIIT/cardio, and core to keep you progressing towards your fitness goals. Whether you’re navigating the end-of-year holiday season, entertaining family and friends, hurrying to complete a few work deadlines, or enjoying some much-needed time off, periodizing your training (decreasing training time, intensity, etc.) is crucial to continued progress and strengthening your mental fortitude!
WEEK #2
Day 1: Lower Body Strength + Cardio [Level 4] – Erica
Day 2: Upper Body Strength (Push) + HIIT [Level 3] – Patrice
Day 3: Upper Body Strength (Pull) + Core [Level 4] – Tasha
WEEK #3
Day 1: Lower Body Strength + Core [Level 4] – Brian
Day 2: Upper Body Strength (Push) + Cardio [Level 4] – Nicole
Day 3: Upper Body Strength (Pull) + HIIT [Level 4] – Patrice
You’ll kick things off with me for Day #1 of the challenge as we equally split our time between lower body strength and HIIT (high intensity interval training) to efficiently tackle two training modalities in one workout. The strength exercises only require one weight (think unilateral moves), so if you’d like to play around with your heavier weight choices, this shorter duration routine is a great opportunity to start testing your limits (or you can stick with your moderate weight choices if your goal is more maintenance focused).
I love short but easily modifiable workouts/challenges, especially during super busy phases of the year. The shorter time commitment makes me less likely to skip my workouts, and I can determine just how hard I want to push myself on any given day knowing that my performance goals will remain intact regardless of my effort.
Let us know in the comment section below if you’re joining us for this challenge! And stay tuned for a couple extra workout recommendations community to the Community if you’re interested in adding some training time to each week.
