BullyJuice: 30 MINUTE LOW IMPACT FAT MELTING CARDIO WORKOUT (5,000 STEPS)

BullyJuice is a YouTube trainer that my husband follows for his strength workouts. I am actually pretty interested in some of his strength workouts after seeing my husband do them and I have added a few to my To Do list. Since we subscribe to BullyJuice’s channel, this workout popped up when he posted it. It is very different from his other postings. 30 Minute Low Impact Fat Melting Cardio Workout (5,000) Steps is a low impact cardio workout. I previewed it and it looked perfect for a recovery day, which is how I used it today. There is no jumping in this workout and no jogging though there is some fast feet. There are no complicated moves. But I did start sweating though I was never breathing hard. I almost put on my weighted vest and weighted gloves to up the intensity a little but I kept reminding myself–recovery day! Take it easy! So I did. I really enjoyed this low key cardio workout. I finished it off with Heather Robertson‘s wonderful, feel good Fusion Flow Day 4: Full Body Stretch & Flexibility. Very nice recovery day workout! I really do want to try some of BullyJuice’s other workouts. He has some body weight strength workouts and a resistance band workout that look perfect for vacations and, since I have a vacation coming up in February, I may end up doing a few. We’ll see!

This workout is set up interval-style. There is a timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down the workout time. The exercises are done for 40 seconds of work followed by 20 seconds of active recovery (marching in place). When there is about 5 seconds left of an exercise or recovery BullyJuice previews the next exercise in a video in the upper right hand corner of the screen. BullyJuice marches in place during the 20 second recoveries.
