in Fitness and Exercise
Right ok , I have been working out to quite a few of the fitness blender workouts ( YouTube) and felt like I had died trying to do the 1000 calorie burn workout but I really don't want to give up , I need to push myself and in the words of jillian micheal ` get used to being uncomfortable` lol . I'm planning on starting this tomorrow and continuing every other day . It's a great full body work out , so going to do as much as I can possibly bare ! Who is with me ? Search on you tube and take a look , makes you sweat just watching it !

When you are done ... enter the time you finished , calories burned , strengths and weaknesses .

    I just scanned through it. LOL...it LOOKS doable :tongue: All the moves are familiar to me. However, looks can be deceiving, and in this case, probably ARE!! I might have to try it! Thanks :happy:

    You have to do it 3/4 times through , each exercise . It's tough trust me , without stopping or skipping a round x

    I did it yesterday.. when they say you get shaky, they aren't joking. I love when my body gets to that point cause I know if I keep pushing, my body will burn an insane amount of fat.

    I hate burpees, I just substitute them.. as long as you keep moving, it's not a big deal.. and honestly, I am happy burning over 500 calories so I don't mind if I am at the lower end of that 1000 cal burn

    Yeah same here. I modify the moves rather than stopping . Like you said , as long as you keep moving .

    [/quotif if i didnt weight 218 i could handle burpees better. I will either do puships and planks or use my stepper and do cardio lunges.

    Time : 46mins
    Calories: 497
    Strengths : stronger press ups ( had more strength in arms ) better endurance .
    Weaknesses: squats were weak , not deep enough . Burpees were tough due to existing back trouble .

    I only did about 30 minutes. Was doing everything but burpee stuff and my HrM never went over 140 for me. Don't know how I am suppose to get near 1000

    Pro: i liked it, guy was not annoying. Simple instructions

    Con: lots of burpee moves. This is only a problem if you are obese like me. I am 218 and for my size fit. I can do push ups but the move where you kick your legs in/out for fat people is misery/hell . Pure hell actually I do alot of sports and I honestly feel burpees are for those who are already thin and have no stomach getting in the way. It's not that I am lazy but it's a physical handicap being obese.

    You can try doing it with your hands on a chair or the edge of a table. In the gym, I use a Smith machine, because you can move the bar down in 6" increments as people make progress. I have had some women in the 210-245 lb range do it that way with some success.

    My problem is that I am too inflexible to go all the way down on my hands, so I hold a Bosu ball (rounded size down) and do the push up off that.

    I love FitnessBlender! I found their website by accident a couple of weeks ago and have been doing their workouts every day. I had graduated from P90X and Insanity and was curious how FitnessBlender fare compared to those two programs. Had been wanting to attempt Chalean Xtreme but I cannot afford to buy multiple weights yet at the moment (only owning 2lbs and 8lbs dumbbells at the moment). So far I'm loving FitnessBlender...A LOT.

    I did this 1000 cal workout two days ago. I wore an FT7 and burned 522 calories at the end of this workout. I'm only standing 5'2" and 107lbs so I guess that is why I am always at the lower end (or even out of the lower range LOL) when it comes to cals burned.

    And I love their standing abs workout. I feel the burn even much more than Insanity Cardio Abs.

    I've not worn a calorie counter but like you I'm 5'2'', but heavier. still don't think i got close to the 1000, probably around 650 or 700 highest. i just started doing a few of the P90X.. i think if that's your fitness level then you need to do much more to reach the 1000... but that just means you're super fit!!!!! go you! :D

    Fitness Blender has a couple of 1000 calorie exercise programs! I have done one of them twice and didn't burn that many calories....probably due to my weight and level of effort...but it was a great workout and I burned about 750 calories. You only get out of these workouts what you put in. Are burpees painful and exhausting? Yes! Do I burn more calories when I do the burpees even though I hate them with a passion? Yes! There you go. It ain't fun. But for maximum results, you have to power through the exercises regardless. And yes, it hurts a LOT.
