Fitness blender workout plan

Fitness Blender offers a long list of printable programs, all built by professional in the fitness industry. Many of these routines are zero equipment workouts, meaning that they can be done anywhere, anytime, even if you don't have a gym membership.

I have heard so much about Fitness Blender in passing, but I had never checked it out…until now! Of course now I’ve been wondering why I didn’t do this sooner because it is an awesome site, and it’s free (mostly)! I am presenting you today with a basic overview of what Fitness Blender can do. Then you need to go explore for yourself.

Fitness Blender's 8 Week Fat Loss Programs provide you with a detailed, day-by-day plan of exactly which free workout videos to do in order to bring about fast results safely. Cardio, strength training, HIIT, plyometrics, Pilates, circuit training, stretching, balance & agility training come together to help you get fit as fast as possible. Many people lose 16-24 pounds in the 8 weeks of these programs, but it's not just about weight loss. You will build strength and lean muscle, gain endurance, improve your cardiovascular health, become more flexible and feel healthier and more energetic. These programs are tough, but have the power to change your body quickly.

Strength Training:

Strength training is a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles.
Aim for 2 Upper body and 2 lower body workouts per week or 3 total body workouts per week. Give yourself 48 hours break between muscle groups to recover though you may need more time if you are particularly sore.

Cardio:

4-6 Days per week of moderate or low intensity long duration or 3-4 days per week of high intensity interval training (HIIT) or some other kind of high intensity cardio (or a combination of the two). You can add low and moderate cardio days to the rest of the week when doing high intensity on the other days but always keep one to two days of rest per week.

Kettlebell Workouts:

2 -3 Days per week but these days count as HIIT and/or Strength Training so should not be done within 48 hours of each other unless you double up the videos as part of a single days workout.

Stretching:

Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Stretching is also used therapeutically to alleviate cramps.

In its most basic form, stretching is a natural and instinctive activity; it is performed by humans and many other animals. It can be accompanied by yawning. Stretching often occurs instinctively after waking from sleep, after long periods of inactivity, or after exiting confined spaces and areas.
4-7 Days per week: stretching is always a good idea. It is best to do only light, short duration stretching before and immediately after workouts and long duration corrective stretching a few hours after your workout is done (not before a workout).

I've always thought of myself as having workout attention deficit disorder; I get bored very easily, and I struggle with the patience to repeat the same thing over and over again. Honestly, the desire to stay fit without facing the dread of boring, repetitive, tedious routines is part of what fueled the beginning of Fitness Blender, and definitely what works for me now, time and time again as I come back to my own little creations in order to stay healthy and fit. The good thing is that frequently mixing things up is okay and even beneficial when it comes to workouts.

We strongly suggest that before starting a new workout program to first consult your health care provider to see if that program is right for you, especially if you have any chronic injuries, diseases, or other conditions that may affect your ability to perform physical activity.
