Fitness Blender Day 3

Fitness Blender Day 3 Burn Fat & Build Lean Muscle - Review

Day 3 complete. This workout was focused on HIIT training and certainly was a challenge, probably the most difficult so far due to the high intensity and various core exercises. The workout started with the warm up as usual and was split into 2 sections for the main part of the workout. The sections consisted of 1 HIIT exercise and 1 core exercise which were 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off. There was a burnout round at the end followed by a cool down.

The workout was more like that of Day 1 than Day 2, that being more cardio focused and generally more intense. Because of this I tried to do all the harder variants of each exercise and was doing great until the heel tap and jump where I started to slow down a little. The workout was slightly longer than any of the previous ones in the challenge and the calories I burned definitely reflects that.

The Numbers

• Duration - 51 min 20 sec

• Calories - 578

• Average Heart Rate - 155 (78%)

• Max Heart Rate - 178 (89%)

• Fat Burn % of Calories - 26%

These numbers were crunched using the Polar Flow app. Overall this workout was the toughest one yet, probably due to it being so high intensity and still feeling a little sore from the previous two days. With that said I am more than half way through this challenge an that's further than I have gotten on any other Fitness Blender 5 day challenge to date. I guess this new found drive comes from my healthier eating (weekly update coming soon) and writing this blog as a track of how I'm doing. Hopefully day 4 will be a good one, I predict it will have a lot more weights incorporated given the pattern I am seeing with the workouts. But I will wait and see.
