Fitness Blender's 5 Day Challenge Review - Burn Fat and Build Lean Muscle

Fitness Blender's Burn Fat and Build Lean Muscle in Depth Review





This is my review of Fitness Blender's 5 day challenge. Fitness Blender is easily accessible with nearly 800 videos and more than 3 million subscribers on their YouTube channel.

The workouts lasted no longer than an hour so could be easily incorporated into anyone's routine. Exercises' also had easy and hard versions so when you're huffing and puffing with those squat jumps, there was always a challenging yet slightly easier variation to fall back on.

In this review I will be reflecting on the workouts, who they are for and how it went for me. 

What was the 5 day challenge like?

Each workout had its own little twist, be that a bit of kickboxing or weightlifting incorporated into each workout. Some were certainly more challenging than others with day 1 and day 3 being the most difficult. But the fact that no two workouts were the same spiced things up a little and I was always looking forward to the next day.

Reflecting on it, the most important aspect of what kept me going and wanting to continue the full 5 days was the fact that I knew I had something good scheduled for tomorrow after each workout. The psychological aspect of trying something new and enjoying it really kept me motivated to go through with it. This was a great change as exercising regularly is something that I have been trying to achieve and the past 5 days showed that it was something that was well within my capabilities.

On average I burned 507 calories per workout which is a good reflection in the effort that I put into each day. A graph of calories burned can be seen below.



Who is this challenge for?



Anyone and everyone who wants to get into fitness or just looking for a little challenge. The meme above was genuinely my way of thinking not to long ago. I consider myself to be a beginner as it is only recently that I have made my health and wellbeing a priority. So if I can do it anyone can really.

Pros and Cons

+ Not time consuming
+ Great workouts to help improve fitness
+ Good balance between intensity and duration
+ Sense of accomplishment for finishing the challenge

- Not all of the exercises are easy to do for complete beginners

Summary

This was a fantastic 5 day challenge which was fun throughout and had me sweating the whole time. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone and look forward to trying out the other challenges in the near future.
