Fitness Blender 1000 Rep Workout: Challenging 500 Calorie Home Workout

I like the kind of routines where I know that I most certainly, unquestionably just worked out. I have tried my hand at yoga (it has it’s health perks, but it’s not really my style), and I love traditional strength training, but by far and large my favorite workouts are the ones that leave both my muscles and my lungs screaming. For me, bodyweight exercises done in quick succession with very little rest are what give me the most satisfying workouts.

1000 Repetitions sounds like a challenge…a painful one, but in a good way. This routine is intense enough to be an a cardiovascular challenge, but because of the bodyweight moves that call upon your body’s different muscle groups, it’s also great for toning. This is a no equipment home workout routine. All you need is some loose, comfortable clothing and possibly a little music to help keep you motivated all the way through 1000 reps.



Muscle Groups Targeted
• Glutes
• Hamstrings
• Quadriceps
• Upper and Lower Abdominals
• Obliques
• Biceps
• Triceps
• Chest
• Lower Back
• Calves
• Deltoids
• Rhomboids
• Outside Thighs


As the list of muscle groups targeted above indicates, this is a very comprehensive total body toning routine.

How to do this routine
It’s important to do 10-15 minutes of warm up cardio before starting this or any strength training routine to avoid injury. Once your muscles are warm, start in on this routine by doing each of the listed ten exercise for 25 repetitions. Do the entire list four times through, to make for 100 repetitions for each exercise, and a 1000 Rep Workout in total. Follow the links on the demonstration videos if you need a modification of an exercise that is harder or easier.

Take as little rest as possible between exercises. Allow yourself 1-2 full minutes of rest between sets, if necessary.

You end up doing 100 reps of each exercise in this workout; depending on your fitness level and your body’s weak points, you may be doing some of these exercises to what feels like exhaust. If you need to stop and take a break before you complete a full 25 repetitions of an exercise, stop and take a quick breather before jumping back into the routine. Do remember that doing an exercise with proper form is always going to be priority; choose the level of difficulty of each exercise that allows you to execute it correctly.

If this is too much for your current fitness level, or if you have a packed schedule that doesn’t allow for a full 60 minute workout, break this routine apart into four 15 minute (or two 30 minute) calorie blasting, metabolic revving segments by just doing one or two rounds of 25 reps at a time.

Bodyweight or lightweight high rep workouts like this one blast fat, burn a high number of calories, tone the body, and boost cardiovascular endurance. This one is also fun, delivers a good energy boost, and doesn’t require a single piece of equipment.

Getting fit doesn’t always feel like a walk in the park; the FB 1000 Rep 500 Calorie Home Workout definitely embraces that concept.

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work. It might seem foreign to some people who have differing goals, but saying “just eat more!” to someone who is trying to gain weight is not unlike saying “just eat less!” to someone who needs to lose weight. Relationships with food can be complicated. How to eat to gain weight and muscle the healthy way Eat often - Try to eat 6 times a day; 3 meals and 3 snacks. Try to not let more than 2-3 hours pass in between eating. Related:  What should you eat before your workout?

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
