HIIT variations + reflecting on following Fitness Blender's programs in Jan-May 2021.
So I notice that I lose a lot of fat when I do HIIT. The session does not have to be super long and my diet doesn't have to be perfect or restrictive. I like the energized and pumped-up feeling I experience after a high-intensity cardio session.
As I said in a previous post, I hate weight lifting. I think doing the same, slow, repetitive movements is boring and I don't see the benefit of doing so because I am not breaking a sweat. And no, that doesn't mean I'm doing the workouts wrong.
So what's the solution? HIIT itself is mostly a body-weight workout and it does involve bodyweight strength. Of course, weights can be snuck into a HIIT session, especially kettlebells. Kettlebells are great for a HIIT session. But advanced strength training workouts like pushup variations can be snuck into a HIIT routine.
I was just on Fitness Blender's site and was amazed by the variation of HIIT workouts they have. Whether it is jump roping, tabata, body weight, kettlebell training, weight lifting, boxing, pilates, etc... Essentially, this does combine both strength and HIIT into one session. Their channel s amazing and I don't think many other Youtubers have this diverse of a HIIT platform.
I feel like doing these types of workouts 3 times a week is enough. I attempted to do another HIIT workout today but could not because I was exhausted from yesterday's session. I would argue that even 4 sessions are too much. Maybe one week I can easily do 4 sessions, but I will get tired in the future and will grow to hate HIIT and will avoid working out altogether. I do need to be balanced.
However, I do question if working out 3x a week is enough in general. I don't know if I should do an additional 4th workout per week (can be anything, just not sure what) or if I should walk 3x a week. Not sure if I should be following the Jan-May 2021 or the May 2021 - now weekly workout schedule. I don't want to overwhelm myself and am convinced that 3 HIIT sessions per week are great, but I am not 100% certain what to do in this case. Part of me thinks the best solution is to do some yoga or stretching routine to rest and relax my muscles after a heavy HIIT routine. It does not have to be long and can be fun. I don't even have to follow a video. But I'll see what I can do. I definitely need to stretch my muscles so I'm not always in pain and exhausted.
Between Jan-May 2021, I followed a few Fitness Blender programs. They were 2x a week strength training and 2x a week HIIT. As I said, I do not like weight lifting (at least not alone). And HIIT is great. I want to rearrange this and do 3x a week HIIT. I'm sure it will pack the same punch as doing 4x a week working out. Because not every strength session I did was a sweaty and intensive workout. If anything, I remember a few of them being simple bodyweight workouts.
In May 2021 and onwards, I switched out of Fitness Blender and followed Rachael Attard's workouts. Mainly because I did not like lifting weights. At the end of the day, her workouts are hit or miss. Some workouts like her HIIT and some of her circuits which make you sweaty actually helped me (especially from her programs). I would even claim that some intensive bodyweight workouts are much more challenging and sweaty than repetitive weight lifting moves. I did not see drastic results from following her easier "strength" circuits and from walking a lot (she says to walk 10k steps a day which I feel is unrealistic for most people with a full-time job). This is something that works for someone who follows a low-calorie diet and who has a lot of free time as opposed to the average person. At this point, I am convinced that doing HIIT and breaking a sweat is important and that walking alone is not a sufficient form of cardio because it will not create abs. And easy moves that require you to do the same repetitive motion (whether bodyweight circuits or weight lifting) will also do nothing to burn fat and create abs. The goal is to do sweaty sessions that challenge your strength and endurance but for a few times a week.
I am really working on finding a workout routine that works best for me. I lose a lot of weight in 2021 and I can pinpoint that to my sweaty and challenging workout sessions, whether it was Fitness Blender or Rachael Attard's workouts. I got tired of exercising towards the start of this year and I doubt I made much progress since February (which is completely fine), but pinpointing where I can improve and identifying the specific things that made me shed fat and become healthier helps a lot.

Gift Ideas For Your Scorpio - December 🛵 2023:
What they want: The Sun & Page of Wands rev
What they need: Judgement & The Empress
The thought behind it: 10 Wands & 9 Wands
Main Energy: 6 Swords
Gift ideas for Scorpio:
Nothing was one train of thought in the preshuffle, a lot of disappointment, sadness, grief, difficulties, and overcoming those is what’s coming out here. Needing to. Scorpio has been through some shit, some of which they’ve carried with them a long time, by choice or not. It’s time for a glow up ☀️ I heard a song and it took me foreverrrr to find it, did you know there are like 100+ songs called “Bad News”? Now you do. It’s Bad News by Buddy, an upbeat bop that’s about getting in trouble but “I ain’t do it” or there ain’t any proof that they did. How this relates to you, I have no idea. Some Scorpios could have gotten out of an extremely restrictive situation and are realizing that’s a positive thing - or they need to.
1. Fitness related things, a gym membership, equipment, yoga, Pilates, I heard hiking - idk what equipment you would need for that but sure. Possible travel to somewhere beautiful that’s well-known for its’ hiking loving tourists or scenery. Endurance things, a step counter, etc. They have a lot of angst inside of them that could be transferred into other things that make them happy, like working on themselves - physically. Feel the power 💪
2. I get the same gardening kinda vibe from them as I did Cancer, but more appliances than actual food. A juicer, a dehydrator, a badass blender, fitness powder or something for shakes, health & wellness products - from the activities to the food and/or how they eat it or what they eat. There could be diet changes involved, you’d have to know their lane for that.
3. Travel. If they live at a distance, some do, a trip to see them, or a ticket & an extra room to come see you. Transportation could be literal, if you can buy an actual car for them. A cruise, a trip, doesn’t even have to be far just somewhere they haven’t been, preferably somewhere warm - The Sun. Specifically somewhere they wanted to go but it didn’t work out before, that’s for someone. Could even be a family thing, The Empress can show a parent or child, maybe tickets to Disney World or something fun for the whole family. I heard “train”, maybe they like trains instead of planes, a specific place involving trains, or someone could be into model trains - that’s specific. A holiday train even, one that goes around the tree, if you/they celebrate with trees.

❝  you're my last appointment of the day, i'm happy to take as much time as you need.  ❞
❝  i'll give you a little tip:  when you're having a chat with someone cute, you can just, casually brush a glittery clutch against them and when they get home, the glitter transfers all over their stuff—on their sheets, their clothes, their face, their dog—they'll notice it constantly, and due to the subconscious association with you and the glitter... they won't be able to stop thinking about you. they'll think that you're soulmates when really, you just gave them glitter herpes.  ❞
❝  totally thought i was over that, sorry.  ❞
❝  i think the red would suit you /perfectly./  ❞
❝  [this/i] will keep you nice and warm and like, ward off any dudes you don't wanna deal with.  ❞

Sorry if you’ve been asked this before but what’s your workout routine.???
No worries!
So, since I’m short, I try to do weight/strength training because you burn more calories in rest. And let’s face it, who actually likes running????
I do a warm up for however long it takes me to burn 100 calories. I usually just dance to a few songs to get my heart rate going.
Then, I use an interval timer app so I do 20 rounds of 45 seconds on/15 seconds off. The heaviest weights I use are 10lbs and the lightest are 5lbs
I spend the first half doing upper body. Then I do some work on my lower half by using resistance bands. I do a combo of Pilates and different types of squats.
If you’re not sure what to do when you’re getting started, Fitness Blender on YouTube has a work out for literally everything. And they do the whole workout with you. It’s what I used before I really got the hang of it.
I always make sure to cool down afterwards with various stretches. On a good day I can burn over 300 calories. It’s only like a 30-40 minute workout!

Intermittent fasting.
Sunday equals family days equals binge day. Lmao. Ate lot of refined carbs and sugary snacks. I love food sad to say 😂 😭 I don't to be too detailed with my food intake specially with calories cause I'm gonna be depressed. But I probably ate around 2500-3000 cal 🙃
I pushed myself to do some workouts that helps to tone muscles.
I'm having anxiety because my bf will go back to his job and I'm afraid that he might catch some virus. I know he's sad and wants me to go with him but I can't leave my family and make them worry because of the virus. I don't want to be selfish. They don't complain even though I'm unemployed (means currently useless). I don't want them to get so disappointed.
Btw I didn't post my log yesterday cause I know I'll get stressed and hate myself for eating too much.

New exercise plan
So I've been following Fitness Blender's HIIT workouts since last July. So for almost 10 months! HIIT is hard and makes for a great workout since it improves your strength and endurance.
However, the physique I ended up with wasn't totally what I was looking for. I looked at older pics of myself from 2018-2021 where I feel like I had a great physique. I am so upset that I was harsh on myself and body when I was 23 given that I looked pretty good. Only problem is that I used to restrict a lot of food and did not work out a lot. I never want to restrict anymore, but I do want to get into shape at the same time. And I've done this before in 2020 and 2021. There is something in common with both years.
Now I'm looking to be fit, but I want a lean and toned and slim physique. I don't want to look muscular and bulky. One might think that you need to diet and starve to get there. But not quite.
The only program that helped me achieve this is Rachael Attard's programs. It's mostly pilates focused along with walking and some high intensity cardio (running and HIIT). I know to some that sounds unusual (especially for someone who does a lot of lifting), but her programs helped me get the physique I wanted. Long and lean looking. I did Lean Legs 1 back in March and April 2020 and Glutes Abs Legs in August and September 2021. I wish I understood the science behind how her program helps, but it just has. Fitness Blender seems to have a more comprehensive, knowledgeable and healthier mentality and approach when it comes to health and fitness which I really respect. But physically, those LL and GAL programs helped me a lot.
The idea is to eat a balance of proteins, fats and carbs, to do a lot of walking, and to do some resistance training 3x a week and high intensity cardio. Since I started taking my multivitamins I feel far less cravings for junk and sugar, which helps a lot in the diet department. Even after a long day of work I come home and want something healthy (veggies, sweet potatoes and lean proteins as opposed to chicken tenders and fries). I also make my own snack using fruit, Greek yogurt, chia seeds and dark chocolate instead of getting baked goods and coffee from outside (sweet cravings are reducing). I had a few bites of red velvet cake today since I went out for dinner with my family. I didn't feel like eating pizza (had a small piece) and had some bread and olive oil and shrimp zucchini fettuccine. I don't want to feel like I'm restricting because I'm not, I just want to feel like I don't crave junk food multiple times a week. I don't count calories, but I have in the past. It becomes obsessive and unhealthy which is why I no longer do it.
I walk a lot already which is great. Working in a lab and pacing around and having 2 dogs really helps.
Now the tricky part comes down to the resistance training and high intensity cardio. This is what sculpts my body. In 2020 I did 3x resistance training and 3x 20-30 min running in place sessions. In 2021 I did 2x resistance training and 1x HIIT. I'm not sure what the best approach would be. She refers to HIIT as resistance training though it's more of a high intensity cardio workout. I also don't like running. Her resistance training workouts are pilates inspired so they make you lean, toned, and flexible. And some workouts are challenging enough to work in a sweat which is what helps in fat loss. The HIIT workouts I'm not so sure how they are targeted for a lean physique compared to other HIIT programs (Fitness Blender).
My diet is looking better, I still walk a lot. How do I include the "resistance training" and "high intensity cardio" into the equation- I have no clue. As long as the resistance workouts are challenging and make me sweat.
Again my goal is to be lean and slim. I've achieved this in the past and did a great job. These workouts may sound simple, but adding them up together makes them a challenge which help in fat loss and learning out the body. I'm not the most physically active person, so maybe some of this trial and error can help me find an effective workout routine that I can do with my busy schedule and that I can enjoy and see the slimming results I want to see.

End the movements with lifting dumbbells over your while an individual coming to standing position. And slowly return back into the starting point then begin anew.

Today's work out was hard & I didn't want to do it, so I eased myself in with a fitness blender 'Easy Pilates & cardio workout' then did some weights.
I'm super grumpy this week. I hate everything & everything is hard.
I'm going to bed to read comics.

Fitness Resources a.k.a. How to Get Jacked 2 tha Max
I pick things up and then I put them back down. I do a mix of strength training, weight lifting, and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) cardio, interspersed with whatever I feel like doing on any given day, so these are all resources that I have found helpful.
Follow-along workout videos
Fitness Blender, and their youtube channel, is one of my faves for workout videos. They have a crapload of videos of all different levels, and they’re really good about talking you through each movement and modifying movements so that you can do things safely at a level you’re comfortable with. Their website has a fantastic search tool, so that you can sort their 563(!!!) videos by duration, difficulty, training style, body area of focus, equipment, etc. It’s so handy.
Velvet Hammer Fitness tends to post longer and more intense workout videos. They also have beginner-friendly videos, and will give you beginner modifications on the intense videos. It feels like I’ve climbed a mountain when I finish some of these. 
Kat Musni Fitness has fun 30-45 min videos. She’s weird and she keeps things interesting.
Scola Dondo has a series of dance workout videos. They are super fun to follow, and she always explains that she doesn’t teach the moves because she wants you to watch the video a few times and dance until you get it, which is a clever way to keep yourself moving.
The Fitness Marshall has even more dance workout videos! He choreographs cardio dance moves to hit pop songs, and he talks you through all of the steps. He has a curated playlist for a weekly-ish workout, called The Sweat Set, so it starts with a slower song to get you warmed up, and then a bunch of higher paced songs, followed by another slow song for a cool-down. It’s great fun, and he always makes me laugh.
HASfit is relatively new to me, but it seems to be similar to the Fitness Blender channel. They look like they know what they’re doing.
Yoga, Pilates, etc.
Blogilates, aka Cassey Ho, has a ton of 5-15 min follow-along pilates videos that focus on specific areas of the body. These pilates moves look easy-peasy, but damn do they burn.
Fightmaster Yoga has, by far, the coolest name. She has all kinds of yoga videos, from the short ones that explain certain poses in-depth, to the 1.5 hour long yoga “classes”. I did most of her 90-day yoga challenge* and loved it. I could feel myself getting stronger as the days went on. She’s really good about explaining what each movement is and how it should feel.
Yoga with Adriene has a similar style to Fightmaster Yoga, but with mostly 25-30 min videos. She also has a bunch of themed yoga videos, for example: yoga for hangovers. Realistic.
Flow With Adee has great flexibility videos, as well as a series of videos on stretching and recovering the day after a hard workout. Very useful! [Beware, the comments section on her videos gets real sexual and gross. Don’t look at the comments. :( ]
Sean Vigue Fitness has videos that mostly focus on strength-building yoga and pilates. He’s also kinda weird and makes random jokes. I like his vibe.
* “__ Day Beginner Challenge” things are great for motivation. It’s convenient and a great way to instill a daily habit. They’re a very popular thing, so pretty much any youtube yoga channel will have at least one “30 day beginner challenge” for you to try out.
Information, Tutorials, Articles, etc.
Gold Medal Bodies, or GMB, has lots of articles and tutorials. They’re a great place to go if you want to know more of the science behind a movement, healthy ways to move, or if you have a specific spot that you want to work on (for ex: stiff neck, sore elbows, etc.). They focus mainly on bodyweight movement with no equipment, and they have a few youtube videos to accompany the tutorials.
Bodybuilding.com is another website with articles and tutorials. It’s definitely leaning more towards aesthetic results, but they have useful information and about a million ways to get strong AF.
Athlean-X is a very bro-y youtube channel, but the guy makes great videos on the best ways to work out for strength. He covers form, number of sets and reps, the order you should perform things in, and more. If you don’t know what any of that means, this is a great place to learn.
Meg Squats is a fun channel to check out. She’s funny and has a realistic approach to strength training and life, and she’s strong as shit. DAMN inspirational.
Superhero Jacked has themed workouts for nerds. If there’s a comic book, movie, tv show, or game character that you admire, they’ve probably got a workout for them. They break down a weekly routine for each character that, in theory, will make you jacked like a superhero/ villain. It’s fun to read, at the very least.
Muscle for Life has some really useful tutorials and articles, if you can ignore the heteronormative bs way they’re advertising their books. Honestly, there’s a whole lot of bs going on in the fitness industry and I’m exhausted just thinking about it, but some of these primitive idiots really know their shit when it comes to getting stronger and healthier.
That’s all I can think of right now, but I may add to this later…
As a follow-up, here’s this: you’ve probably heard this a hundred times, but in order for you to really stick with a fitness regimen and reach your goals, whatever those may be, your choices have to be sustainable. If you pick something super difficult and challenging and make yourself do it every day, you will quickly lose motivation and burn out. So try a bunch of things and see what you like, and find something (or multiple things) that you can do every week. Find something that you like. Maybe you won’t be excited to do it every week, but at least you won’t absolutely despise it.
I try to remind myself that my workouts are not meant to be punishments. I’m not working extra hard because of that piece of cake I ate, or because I missed a workout yesterday. I’m working hard because I want to, because I love the way it makes me feel strong and capable. I also have to remind myself that some days I may feel weaker or shittier than other days, and that’s ok. Maybe I’m sore from a previous workout, maybe I didn’t sleep well, maybe I’m just in a terrible mood. It’s ok to take breaks when you need them, and to cut workouts short or skip them entirely. Remember, whatever you’re doing has to sustain you. Push your limits, work hard, be smart, don’t hurt yourself. Someone, probably a yogi, said, “thank your body for everything it does for you.”

you look amazing 😍😍
I can definitely notice some little changes. The most obvious for me are your boobs, im not sure if it's because of the different bras, but now they look a bit smaller and perkier?
Also you look so happy, so I'm proud of youuu
Aaaand, are you following some kind of workout routine? A personal trainer? YouTube? I'd really love to know.
.
I've actually been working out quite intensly for 3 years, and it took me so so long to understand my body and what it needs and wants, so when it came to eating healthier, I learnt that for my body specifically, I don't need to cut on any food. I still eat anything and everything, I just make sure I don't eat too too much. To notice any big difference in my body it took months and months.
I went through numerous YouTube channels for some exercises because none of them made me feel good? Not uncomfortable, but just very repetitive. And not too long ago I found this girl called "Caroline Girvan" in case you want to check her out. She's got a programme called epic heat, and they kill me lol. It's a 50 day programme and you use weights, you do hiit, they're original...
But I've gone waay away from the subjects ahha, point is, you look amazing and keep it up 🥳🥳
Thank you so much! It’s definitely just the bra lmao
I’ve been working out for years tbh I used to be super skinny and then I gained a lot of weight when my bf and I got together and I’ve basically been trying to get it off ever since. Fitness Blender on YouTube is what I use when I need a little guidance. Their videos are amazing. But I don’t really need them anymore since I know what I’m doing.
Because I’m short, I try to do weight lifting. I was running for a bit, but it did nothing for me, and just made me hungrier. When you strength train you burn more calories through the day when you’re in rest. So, if I can’t strength train, I’ll try to at least go for a walk.
My workout is usually 30-40 minutes depending on how much time I have. I do mostly upper body/arm stuff because I’m so top heavy. And then I do some Pilates type things for leg exercises, and then I end it with different types of squats and lunges. I also make sure to do a warm up and cool down.

Health and Fitness - a few comments
So I’ve been changing my health and fitness routines often. That’s fine and all, I’m happy that I’m at least invested in eating well and moving around. I want to burn a bit of excess fat without going on a diet, but by intuitive eating and proper and regular exercise. Here are a few comments I have regarding my health and fitness journey (they may be messy and disorganized but I hope I get my message across efficiently):
I feel like a lot of what I was following might encourage disordered eating and exercise.
Never count calories, macros or measure food.
Eat as minimally processed as possible (I already pretty much do)
Drink enough water
Maybe try eating every 2-3 hours, and eat sufficiently. Don’t use coffee as an appetite suppressor.
Protein, fat and carbs are all important, eat them all.
Do not exercise when sick or on your period if you’re in pain. Rest.
Don’t exercise on an empty stomach.
Steady-state cardio is good for your health but it doesn’t burn a lot of calories and doesn’t help with fat loss. It’s still essential for good health which is why I go out for walks on my rest days.
You cannot stop reduce fat, doing many ab workouts won’t get you flat abs, doing many pushups won’t slim your arms, etc… Many Youtubers and Pinteresters and Instagrammers lie about this. You’ll definitely build strength in that area but it doesn’t burn fat.
Aim for 2-3 full body strength sessions a week.
HIIT burns a lot of calories and boosts your metabolism, which is great for fat loss. Aim for 2-3 full body HIIT sessions a week.
Exercise anywhere from 30-50 minutes.
Vary your workouts. This way you keep your body guessing and you stay motivated and entertained. You can do yoga or walking on your rest days, regular HIIT or intense boxing on your HIIT days, circuits, pilates, etc… during your strength days.
Get out of the mentality of “I won’t be happy until I lose weight”. I eat healthy and exercise for aesthetics as well but that will come way after I gain a positive mindset. I get negative quite easily and need a solid support system. Fitness should definitely have that. Having support really helps.
Understand when some photos are photoshopped.
Proper form is more important than how much weight you can carry.
Change takes a lot of time.
I’m already following a healthy workout routine. I’m doing 2x strength training sessions, 2x HIIT sessions and 3x rest days (ideally active) a week. I am starting to use Fitness Blender’s workout videos (a lot of the points I listed above come from watching their videos). They seem to have a sustainable and healthy view on health and fitness rather than most personal trainers who aren’t very well-versed in their field and promote supplements and dangerous advice.
I hope I can keep these in mind. My workout routine is solidifying but I might need to revamp my eating plan. No diets whatseover - I just want to figure out how often I should eat or if I might need to eat more than I already do.
