Fitness Blender just posted this epic 1000 Calorie Workout! This video brings you a fully comprehensive workout session that incorporates warming up, abs and oblique exercises, high intensity interval training and strength training.
Because this routine is so intensive, you really don’t want to do it any more than three times a week, maximum. It includes both HIIT and strength training, which your body needs time to heal from – otherwise you run the risk of just undoing any progress that you may have otherwise made, or worse, overtraining, which can be dangerous. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t exercise for the rest of the week – Fitness Blender has hundreds of workout videos that are lower in impact that would be great options for burning off some extra calories on those recovery days.
