Madfit is one of my favorite Youtube trainers and this workout proves why!
My Thoughts:
I am a huge fan of Madfit and her no-jumping workouts for how much they burn and make me sweat! This workout consists of moves done back to back in 30s or 1 min increments, repeated twice with a 30s break in the middle. There’s also a bonus plank finisher at the end for 30s- a welcome challenge and fab end to the workout!
I REALLY liked how she included demos of each moves at the start of her workout-I personally skipped it as it was not my first rodeo however please watch it if you are new to her channel/the video!
Sweat rating– 9/10 I was dripping.
What moves can you expect?
Reverse lunges with kicks, get-up squats, plank walks, leg drops and downward dog knee ins are some moves that you can expect.
Plank walks- take a while to get used to, but as long as you follow the “right left right” and “left right left” commands she gives at the start of the move, you’ll be just fine!
Leg drops- Place your hands in a triangle position to ensure low back is into the ground.
Downward dog to kick through- if you haven’t done this move before please do not skip the first two minutes where she introduces it as it is a little complicated if you aren’t staring at the screen.
Overall rating : 9/10
Difficulty level: Intermediate (very sweaty)
Knee friendly? No, as there are lunges and squats.
Music? Decent, not distracting.
Instructor? Huge fan of her. She gives good demos and instructions, and executes the moves with excellent form.
Favorite move? Hard one as I loved them all, but probably the downward dog to kickthrough or the plank walks.
Would do again? Yes! Perfect as a finisher or add-on to get some cardio in.
*NOTE that NO warmup or cooldown was included, so I would suggest doing both on your own.
** I did this video 2nd in a series of workouts back-to-back, so my views may reflect that. Reviews of other videos in the series will be coming soon, so check back for more!
