Day 5: Fat Burning HIIT Cardio and Lower Body Strength
Supersets of lower body exercises combined with fat burning high intensity interval training make for an effective, intense, and sweaty workout. Grab your weights, choose your difficulty level, and get ready to push yourself.
This is Day 5! If you're reading this after finishing all five days, we really want you to take a minute to be proud of yourself. What you've just done takes a lot of effort and follow through, and this very well could be the start of a new healthy habit for yourself, if you just keep moving. Just like you stuck with this challenge, one day at a time, you can keep moving forward with your workout habit, one day at a time. Remember, we have over 500 free full length workout videos here on our website, and we've also got workout programs for all kinds of different fitness levels and goals. Whatever you do and however you do it, keep this healthy habit going!
How many times can I repeat these challenges?
We recommend doing these challenges for up to 2-3 weeks in a row before you switch up your routine again. If you want a workout program that lays out what you're doing every day for 4-8 weeks with no repeat workouts, full of daily guidance on how to make eating well and exercise a natural lifestyle instead of a struggle, be sure to check out our workout programs - our 8 Week FBfit Program to Lose Weight, Build Lean Muscle & Tone Up most closely resembles this 5 Day Challenge.
