    Awesome! Just finished up day #4 with a zumba class in between. I'm really enjoying this workout plan...it feels so attainable and manageable. I made a week by week log that sits on my fridge so I know how long tomorrows workout is (so I can plan) and check off workouts as I do them. 2 days til week two! Feels good and I feel like this tummy chub is showing some form!

    How are you all doing??

    It actually has nothing to do with an actual blender! It's an 8 week workout plan that "blends" different types of workouts. You can find more info here:http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/article-detail/Lose-Weight-with-Fitness-Blenders-Workout-Videos-8-Week-Fat-Loss-Program/cb/

    Today was workout #9 for me. Aaaargh at all those burpees! I'm really enjoying this workout plan, too. I do it right after getting out of bed, and I find myself looking forward to it. The variety is just what I need to stick to it. I usually get bored with exercise routines.

    Are they high impact, intense workouts or can you make your own fitness plan like beginners, of low impact, cardio. etc?? And what type of home equipment do u have to have to complete the workouts?? I was interested in this a few months back but get discouraged when its high impact or intense right off..

    missmegan831 -- I've found the 8 week program to be starting out fairly challenging, but still doable for someone who's in fairly decent cardiovascular shape. But there is some high-impact stuff in there. They suggest repeating weeks 1 and 2 until you're confident. You can search their workout videos for "low impact" and "beginner" and just do a couple videos a day without following their workout plan, though.

    There are plenty of videos that don't require any equipment at all, and they usually give suggestions for how to modify the exercises that do use special equipment.

    I've noticed they give high and low impact options ( ie. marching instead of high knees, etc...). Also they encourage you to pause b/w rounds if you need more time. Some days are easier than others but overall it honestly feels great, it's simple to follow and can do at home.

    You really don't need much equipment. I would say a mat, set of dumbbells are the essentials besides somewhere you can play the videos comfortably.

    Give it a try. For me, it feels like a well-rounded workout that I can do everyday without getting overwhelmed.

    Good luck and just trust your body.
