Fitness Tip of the Day: Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- 1,000 Calorie Workout

Today's workout is a new 1,000 calorie workout from FitnessBlender.  I post a lot of workouts from this channel because they are done so well.  If you prefer to workout to music, feel free to play some in the background.


This is an intense workout, go at your own pace and modify when needed.

You will begin with a warm-up which is included.  From there you will be taken through a tabata style section doing exercises for 20 and resting for 10 seconds.  Each round will consist of 2 exercises and you will repeat each round 3 times.  There are 10 exercises in total in this section.  No additional equipment is needed.

The next segment is strength training.  You will need a set of dumbbells for these exercises. If you don't have any, use something from around the house that can easily fit into your hand, an optional bench is also used.  This section consists of 3 groups of 2 exercises doing 2 sets of 10 each.  Again, lift at your own pace.  Breathe out as you lift.

The next part consists of a kickboxing routine.  It includes 6 groups of cardio combos doing 10 reps on each side.  Remember when punching that you don't snap out your elbow, make the power come from your back and shoulder.

The last part is a core and cardio segment.  This consists of alternating core exercises with cardio intervals, doing 45 seconds of activity followed by 15 seconds of rest.

Finally, a stretch and cool down are included as well.

Are you ready???!!!
