I have taken 29 years of rest. It felt good but now it's time to GAIN!!!!
lol
😅😂🤣
I have it other way around, 10years of stress, now it's time to rest a little xD
so cute how you guys look at each other when the other person is talking lol shows that you're both really attentive and polite
Ikr
My body pretty much always lets me know loud and clear... What's weird is that it varies week to week. Some weeks I can crank it out really intense for 3 -4 days before my body says, "Dude..shut me down for a day or 2, or Im going to do it for you." Sometimes after one really tough 35-45 minute session..im done the next day. Either way, I ALWAYS listen to what it is telling me :)
I hate rest days because I always end up doing cardio or going for long run. Doing nothing is really boring 😒😒
I hate you why am I a potato
I know right lol
Try stretching in that time then, rest is really important to gaining muscles and not burning out. You can also put on some music you love and go for a walk or do some yoga (yoga with Adrien here on RUclips is an amazing place to start). Just remember to take care of yourself!
i love active resting/recovery
Great reminder to rest - health for the long haul. Thanks Kelli and Daniel!! So thankful for y'all's work. It's much appreciated.
I love these videos so much! It's hard finding really useful information on safe but effective strength and endurance training that doesn't feel like being talked at!
I just love you both!! Best work out channel ever.
Thank you for this helpful information. Love your channel!
this was very well put thank you for explaining it so well
I love yall! You guys have helped me on my fitness journey!
Adding this type of informational videos is so damn professional..
Very helpfull, as usual ;)
Thanks guys from taking so well care of us.
My objective: M-W-F: tough workouts, T-T: easy ones, nothing over the W.E.
This video is short but informative. Thanks guys, I subscribed like two months ago. I've never felt so better. :) So much accomplishment when you say "This workout is complete." and I can hear your voices as I type that. LOL
Thank you because Active rest is new to me. I am glad you defined it.
Thank you for the video! I went for a walk down cannon beach this weekend and thought of you guys!
Yeah my boyfriend lives near there and I saw they had a workout video made there
Thank you. You answered my questions perfectly.
Thank you! That is very useful and nicely explained
carolina gioca Happy to have helped! Thanks for watching Carolina :)
Very helpful! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video!
I was scared all the time that I wasn't doing enough but it seems I did just right.
I thought pauses weren't so good and that I should do a lot more for my fitness but since I'm barely doing rest but mostly active rest (I tend to do sports when I'm bored after school and don't wanna work xD) I think I really should calm down and try to not be so harsh with myself.
Thank you again and keep it up, your videos are awesome!
I started a routine with a few of your workouts combined together. Today Im sore so I took a rest day already but then ran some errands like grocery shopping, hand cleaning dishes and all. It turned out I am more tired on my rest day than I was yesterday when I did my workouts! Haha, love you guys!
Fayha M I'm usually more sore 2 days after than I am the day after, so you might have something to look forward to ;)
rumiaji Aw, you scared me there but THANK GOD it didn't happen with me. I'm back on track today! :D
I definitely think you guys should do a vlog about like artificial sweeteners, safe ones, stevia, xylitol, that stuff. It would be super informative!
Thank you guys :)
I usually have two days rest per a week, but it depends on how I feel myself. If I feel myself under-motivated and burned out I have 3-4 days.
I blame you guys.. I've added the 1000 calorie workouts to my schedule and decided to cut back one day off now. I used to work out 6 days a week but now I only do it 5 days. That 1000 calorie video always leaves me sore for a while everytime! Also I was feeling more fatigued but now that I take an extra day of rest, I feel better. Great videos guys.
Thank you! :)
Thank u guys
I wish you guys did more videos like this, and also went more in depth.
thanks, very helpful
I usually alternate, an intensive workout on one day (30-40 min) followed by something less intense the next day (10-20 min). On Sunday, I have a day off haha. It works fine for me and I might gradually make the 'less intensive days' more intensive. + you should always stretch, when I forget, my muscles are screaming the next day!
I've just started working out. It takes me 3 days after a hard aerobic workout to recover to be able to workout properly again. It's kind of frustrating to have to wait that long because I really enjoyed the group fitness classes I took. Important to listen to your body though. Trying to do some stretching at home on rest days, go cycling and walk my dog
Love your workouts ,so great .. Could you please make a some Up levels , like level 6 or 7 , I'm starting to combine 3 level 5 together this late weeks , some were really too much at the beginning , but i feel like i'm getting used to it . i'm hoping you could really prepare a super super workout that would be impossible to break ; and let me fight with it for a couple of weeks if not months :p
I take 1 rest day and 1 active rest day (walking) specially when I am really sore. It helps with soreness.
I try my best to have 4-5 days a week of fitnessblender alternating (Upper body - lower body -abs) and then yoga and pilates in rest days!
Not sure if this is ok but I've been doing it for like 9 months now and I feel great :)
I workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sundays, and rest the other three, I feel better in that way
So... It's okay if I train 6 days a week and I rest one day? I mean I train till Monday to Saturday and I rest completely the Sunday...
I've been doing your videos since a week and LOVING it! I will be doing it like forever! Can you please tell me whether it's okay to have dinner at around 10 PM, because I am generally busy all day and get to do my workout late. I finish my workout at around 9:30 PM. :)
Well I have to walk the dog everyday so that can range usually range from 1 - 2 hours per day as well as ball throwing (which is hard on my hyper-mobile elbows). Then there are things like cutting the hedge and other garden work.
Should they rest days be together like the weekend or apart like Wednesday and Sunday?
thank you so much
Can I do a low impact workout on the active rest day? Or it's necessary to take a rest since my body needs to recover?
oh hey, this is a good one...
How do i know when to rest if i dont ever have sore muscles? I train right, my body is changing, but i dont feel sore after my workouts anymore. :(
I take 2 rest days and my body seems to react well to it. so I'm sticking to it.
Hi, I know this is a little off topic but I'm following a free programme you incorporated in one of your videos which shows cardio workouts of different intensities but I can't find that video through my phone for some reason and really need to ask you when can I incorporate my weight training in that programme? Like on what days? I really really hope you'll answer, thank you so much!!
what workout would you suggest the next day after your 1000 calorie workouts? Last week I did it twice once on a Monday and then on Friday with other workouts in-between. I am not a walker. I like to run or do HIT. I take Sat and Sun off each week but like to workout Mon - Fri.
FitnessBlender i have a question. What type of workout can i do when i have migraine with aura. I started last year during summer i didn't know why until this year it was that. I get them if i cardio anything that rises my heartbeat and anything with caffeine, but i wanna lose some lbs be active.. Please answer my question ....
Does anyone go for a massage? And would that be included as an active rest day activity? Massage really works the muscles and you feel as though you've had a workout.
I tend to vary my workouts throughout the week and usually do a bit of cardio and then some strength training each time, but is it better to focus on one area each time e.g. monday legs, tuesday abs, or is it better to do a little bit of full body training a day?
Yee I've been Rippin it this summer
Do you guys have any advice for how to deal with (or minimise) DOMS? I have always struggled with this and even though I exercise regularly, my recovery time always seems to be 2 - 3 days and sometimes even 4. I hear different advice about this - some say to just work through it, some say to do light exercise until the soreness is gone and some say don't do anything at all! I did my last workout on Sunday night following one of your guys videos (a leg based routine) and am still feeling the DOMS today (Wednesday night). For me, even light exercise/stretching is agony for 2 - 3 days after a good challenging workout and I hate feeling like I am unable to progress as I can't seem to downsize my recovery time. I always warm up and down thoroughly and stay hydrated so any other advice would be much appreciated :)
How do you know when you are ready to increase the weights of your dumbbells? When they feel too light?
Hello!
I'm a beginner i have choose a low impact workout
how many days shhould I do this before I switch up in another workout?
Please anwser me
thanks
I have to take a walk during my rest day, or just be up and about, or I get bored of sitting.
I have a question. I want to use the leg slimming and belly fat burning excercises but I dont sweat during those just feel my thigs and belly burning the calories. I tried the 37min ardio fat burning workout and i sweat like a pig but my feet hurt after it so much...so could i stick to the first two videos i metioned or do i need to sweat to burn fat?
Can you do a video on the types of shoes for which workouts. I did your jump rope video on carpet and my feet were hurting so bad that I had to keep taking breaks. I wore Nike shocks
Also, is there a way to get our purchased plans from lulu.com and transfer them to the calendar
quasha89 make sure you are wearing the right type of shoes for the type of workout you are doing, then if you still experience pain, look up different ways to tie your shoes. It will change your life.
I do Sydney Cummings on 3 days a week and travis eliot yoga in another days .so its alternate between strength training and power yoga.is that fine.
love fitnessblender
Do you have any tips for people who work the night shift. I started working 12 hour night shifts and it's thrown my eating and workout schedule completely out of whack. I'm usually on my feet the entire shift so I'm getting some exercise. I just need help with eating healthy and keeping my energy up without loading up on caffeine. Any tips or advice would be amazing. Thank you!
i currently am having an ankle injury, is it possible that I can do HIIT, or running again?
Question: how many rest day and active rest day per week you recommend?
Hello Kelly and Daniel, is it possible for your back to be sore? Whenever I do certain exercises like last night I did your bye bye muffin top abs workout and the leg slimming pilates workout, and today my back is reallyy sore. Also is it okay to exercise when you have been very stressed lately? Does that have an effect on how your muscles work? I probably will read up about this on google too, I'm just interested to see your opinions if you replied. :)
I love your channel by the way I share them with everyone!
I just got out of the hospital with a little bit of fluid in one of my lungs and the onset of pneumonia. Come to find out both can be caused from excessive working out. I was working out perhaps 5 days in a row and then resting for two but apparently that just wasn't enough rest for my body. I learned my lesson! I will now work out 4 days a week, spreading them out though.
zaharaluv oh god I'm sorry to hear that.....damn, didn't know that could happen from exercising....are you okay now and what were the symptoms?....
MissCopGirl thank you, I am okay now. My left shoulder and side (rib cage area, below breast) were in intense pain. It felt like every muscle in that region was pulled and cramping at the same time. It was hard to get a full deep breath without feeling the pain on that side.
My attempts on the downward facing dog look more like a downward facing monkey on crack... Super stiff hamstrings here 😓
Can you please make a video about how to ''break in'' this position?
Same here, super tight hamstrings. Tried to do a pike, they were not having it.
Check out Yoga with Adriene. She breaks down yoga poses in her videos. I do a mix of her yoga and Fitness Blender on my own program :)
Heidi Stobert thank you 😘
The Beauty Neuron I stay on the tips of my toes instead of putting my heel down
Hi! I've been doing abs workouts for a week now and I do them 2 times a day for 10 minutes each time. Will I see results from doing this or won't this be enough to loose belly fat? Thanks !
Hey guys I miss your videos! I took a long break from working out 5 months of any activity due to an overload of work. now that my work is over with, I want to go back to my routine, do you have any videos or advice on getting back in the swing of working out, after a long break? thank you so much! I follow u guys everywhere!
AstridsExtras there's no excuse for quiting 5 months, it's a lifestyle.
What if you work in a fast paced job that has moderate work to be done?? Could one count that as an active rest day
How long should I rest between workingouts cycle techniques?
Just a random thought but does anyone know the story behind FB? I mean how it all started out? Is there a video about it? I am so curious..
They meant fitness blender 😂😄^
+Cynthia Aimee Haddad Here's a Seattle Times article from October 2015 with some background on our favourite workout buddies:
www.seattletimes.com/life/wellness/fitness-blender-couple-next-door-have-25-million-youtube-fans/
What do you guys think about the pill, as it relates to health and fitness?
How often do you take rest days? I know its different depending on most people but I'm a dancer and I dance at my school so that's 5 days out of 7. I would consider those one of my active rest days since we don't go crazy. But if I were to do one of your videos how often would I?
I made the mistake of trying to move out of my fourth floor walk up apartment on what should have been an active rest day. :(
Hi! I've recently started doing some of your workouts. Mostly the low impact ones and the kickboxing one. I go one day kickboxing the other day the low impact exercise, also followed by some changes in my diet. .so, am I doing too much? whenever I don't exercise everyday, I feel guilty.
Anyways, thanks for your videos, they are certainly helping me a lot!
I'm not a professional but I don't think you're doing too much. It's good that you're moving/working out.
wait so let say i dhiit do i wait to do hiit again or should i keep going?
I just started working out and eating healthier every day for almost a week. I exercise maybe 10 minutes a day, not pushing too hard. I'm kind of new to this so i was wondering how long it would take to start seeing changes with my body shape.
You should probably increase your workout time a little bit more each day. Once you find a workout for you, you will probably be sore the day after doing it. After that you will be able to breeze through the workout and then you will begin to see changes.
I love your decent dresses!
I know I need a rest day when I am beyond tired and feel a little nauseous and dehydrated. That's when I know that I am over training and need 1-2 days of rest.
i try to have 2-3 rest days a week but on these rest days i am kinda forced to do sports cause i go to university by bike and thats at least 30 minutes a day is that still okay for my body ? (sorry for my english it's been a while since I last had to write in english :'D)
So, Yoga could be a nice activity for an active rest day?
I'm 14 and I want to lose 20 pounds until September
I create this workout plan (I'm already dieting)

I'm going to do this Monday - Saturday and rest on Sunday, it's okay?
Am I going to lose the weight I wanna lose?
Yo is it ok to have a 4 day rest day if you do 3 days intense workout
Is it ok to lift heavy weights or workout everyday or we need rest days?
Would it be okay to have five active days and two active rest days a week? I lose motivation if I don't go to the gym, so I like to still go to the gym on my rest days, but do a light work out. I'm very active and am in shape, and eat more than enough to sustain because I am trying to bulk up for basic training!
I think you should definitely make a rest day... As you said, you go to the gym EVERYDAY and in my opinion you should give a break to your body and your soul just for a day, and I am pretty sure you will be more happy than usual. ( you know that during the rest day, your body is repairing itself... :)
Also, be careful about adrenal fatigue. If anything, rest days are good for preventing that. I find it helpful to split my two days up throughout the week to avoid getting the lazies.
I tried a lot of your videos but I always end up quitting.
more vlogsssssss
How should I plan my rest days should I take two day in row or one day at the beginning of the week and the second on on the middle or end of the week?
I think it's fine but they say after 72 hours of not working out you start to lose gains but I maybe I could be wrong you don't know with these scientific researchers
I take one rest day a week. I generally do 30 minutes of stretching on rest day, so I guess it's not completely a rest day.
Please guys do a video on how to increase height....
Hello guys, nice to meet you. A few month ago, I follow you and I take time for made the workout. But I have a question, in your video screem in the right down corner, appear two values from Calories, What did you mind with that numbers? because are differents. Or each value represent the burn calorines for her and him? Thank you.
Pamela Lanza The numbers you see are an estimate of the low and high end of the calories one might expect to burn during each particular workout. It depends on your fitness level, age, how hard you squeeze your muscles etc. I wear a heart rate meter with calorie burn an although I have a very rapid heartbeat, making every exercise intense, I usually end up on the lower end of the numbers they give.
Thank you very much. =)
Is martial arts considered as active rest? Because that's what I do.
Mowing my lawn would b considered what? Active rest day?
Are 3 rest days per week ok?
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO THAT TELLS US HOW TO ORDER YOUR DAYS (DAY
+Sophia Villanueva what about your meals ?
+Sophia Villanueva i eat at the breakfast cheese with no fats , cucumbers and bread ...and then i eat the lunch that my mum did whatever it is .....and i dont eat anything starting from 7:30 pm ....i only eat fruits and vegetables .........
is what iam doing okay ????
None!
Can someone give me some advice? Im a college student on summer vacation. Im spending 5-6 hours on my feet every day doing waitress work (yet im not losing any fat, nor gaining noticable muscle). My calves ache and my feet hurt so i cant exercise. I used to workout when i didnt have this part-time job but now that i have it, i dont know what to do.
You need anaerobic exercise to burn fat and build muscle. Such as HIIT, weights, interval training. It can be just 20minutes every other day.
@@kimmyj1512 is it possible to do HIIT without putting strain on the feet and calves though? Most HIIT videos i see on fitness blender use the lower body.
Thanks for your reply!
how many calories did I burn watching this? :P
Even sex?
Hi , apology my groins but to write the I make through a translator on this account only talk Spanish , the I congratulate and overcoat for thee girl handsome , me taste lore sort of thee llamas , your you are really but really sexy cuando you make thy routines , me taste really esa clothes sporty than usas , buttonholing wear somewhat but short , happiness follow seeing his videos they are really soft-hearted , buttonholing riposte my questions , see later
What if I don't rest?
Your muscles will not grow, you'll get sleepy a lot, you'll feel very fatigued, you'll get sick more often, you won't be able to go very hard in the gym, just the thought of going to the gym will make you want to cry. Muscle building happens when you rest because during the workout all you do is tear down the muscle fibres to stimulate growth of size and strength.
+Shahzeb Nasir I'm a track and field athlete and I don't take rest day I make sure to do 30 min of exercise if I'm not at the gym or at my practices and I'm feeling great so it really depends
You do 30 minutes if you're not at practice or the gym... So you do get rest. Also depending on how much you eat, how little stress you have, how little other work you do and how young you are how much rest you need varies
Shahzeb Nasir that's an active rest because it's steal 30 min of intense exercise. I don't have any REST days when I don't do any workout cardio or strength
1 have one day of active rest and the other days are 1h30 or 1h intense
