Summer weekends are too packed to have the energy for an at-home workout, so instead of doing Booty/Flex 6 days/week, it is scheduled for 5 days/week (which caused some confusion with the way the days are labeled along with the usual confusion of the week's start day (Su or M) changing between the calendar page and the rescheduling page's calendar view making it challenging to know which day is which, lol!).
Week 1 was Booty Day 1 + Flex Day 1 + Bd3 + Fd3 + Bd5, this week is the opposite, starting with Flex "Day 5" (Flex's 3rd workout) and continuing with Booty "Day 8" (Booty's 4th workout) tomorrow. The 5 days/week Booty/Flex Challenge combo goes for 2 weeks and 2 days instead of 2 weeks. Another possibility is to do a core workout in the middle of the week (either freestyle or from FB Abs) and alternate Booty/Flex evenly on both sides.
Another option is to use a 4-day workout week and spread the challenge evenly over 3 weeks instead.
While the core is getting some work in the workouts so far, coming off the 2 week Abs challenge, it feels like this combo would be better if adding Abs into the mix for 1-2 days/week. Hmm - rescheduling is more of a hassle since independent workouts have been added to the mix and it's not possible to move an entire day of workouts to another day yet, but the idea of adding core workouts into the mix is very tempting!
Today's UB strength workout with a twist with Kelli & Daniel was quick-paced and challenging. The unusual exercises increased both the challenge and the fun-factor. Those "chicken" triceps extensions and wide biceps curls were especially challenging, as was the burnout round at the end when the muscles were already tired. The outtakes were hilarious and the fun banter between Daniel & Kelli during the workout helped keep the motivation going strong. The unusual exercises and extra challenge make it a definite for the favorites list.
Hope your week is off to a good start, and happy Blending everyone! :)
