FitYaf's Fitness Friday Workout - Body Blitz Style

10/25/2013

4 Comments

 
We all know that Step Aerobics is my "soulmate" workout, but my Body Blitz class gives me energy in a much different way. For a full hour, we sweat together, we grunt together, we sometimes even laugh together.  Each week I try to come up with new and challenging moves, and each week, my participants destroy the workout.  Today's Fitness Friday workout is another Body Blitz style workout, guaranteed to get your heart rate up and your energy blazing!

Here are some other Body Blitz style workouts:
  • No equipment necessary
  • BOSU
  • Dumbbell
Notes about this workout:
  • Some of the moves in this workout are high-impact.  Please feel free to modify the workout to make them low-impact if necessary.
  • If you're unsure about any of the movements, check out the videos linked to the name of the exercise or google them before you start the workout.  You don't want to lose momentum, stopping after every exercise to look up how to do them.
  • The warmup and cardio sections of this workout are designed to do in a set amount of time.  This means that you'll work at your maximum level (as hard and as fast as you can) during this part of the workout.  Sometimes this might mean that you'll slow down, but as long as you're still feeling challenged, you'll benefit from the workout!
  • The resistance training sections of this workout are designed to complete a set amount of reps.  Be sure not to rush these movements and perform them in a controlled manner.  Choose your weights so that you can complete the workout, but it is still challenging for you!
  • Rest in between sets if needed, but no more than 1 minute!
  • Be sure to stretch at the end of the workout.  Check out some post-workout stretches from Health.com.

We usually see in normal is that different fitness trainer works on a different strategy to make you more beautiful and improve your fitness level. I read lots of blog posts but never see such kind of stuff before on any blogs. Pictures collection is also very important because it helps lots of people to understand it easily.
