Fitness Blender

As I've mentioned on my past couple weekly reviews, I've been using Fitness Blender for my strength training recently.  And I really like it so far!  So I thought I'd share a little more about it.

According to the website, Fitness Blender arose out of the belief that "fitness should be accessible to everyone, everywhere, regardless of income level or access to a gym." That's why they offer "hundreds of free, full-length workout videos, the most affordable and effective workout programs on the web, meal plans, and helpful health, nutrition and fitness information."

First fitness blender video I tried

I've only used it for the workout videos so far.  I haven't tried any of the nutrition information or meal plans.  And there are some aspects of the website that are for paid customers only, like having a workout program instead of just choosing individual videos.  But there is a lot of free content!

One of the things I really like is the search functionality.  There are a lot of factors you can use to search, and it's really easy to apply and remove filters.  And I love all the variety of videos they have, and the variety of lengths.  It makes it easy to fit in something quick if needed.

And once you have the list and are browsing workouts, I like how easy it is to see the details of each workout before choosing the one you want to do.  There is a detailed explanation of the format as well as a list of specific exercises that are included.

 

I also like that there is a calendar where you can put in the workouts you want to do and mark them off once they're done.  The check marks are days I've completed the scheduled workouts and the gray bars are where I have workouts scheduled but haven't completed them yet.  There is also a way to mark workouts as favorites so they're easy to find again.

Overall, I'm finding this a really great tool to enhance my strength training!
