Bikini Body Mommy Challenges are free workouts on YouTube created by Briana Christine. Today was my last day for the 8.0 Challenge and let me tell you it has been a very long time since I have completed an entire challenge start to finish!
Ladder Cardio was definitely something new for me in this phase. The goal is to do as many sets as you can and time yourself. Here's an example of how that works.
The workouts are about 20 minutes a day, always starting with a warm up, six days a week, Sundays being rest days. You begin with a fit test of eight exercises and you complete this fit test every two weeks. The only equipment needed are dumbbells. The 90 day challenge is broken down into three phases...
Phase One
Phase One alternates between Cardio and Full Body Strength. The Cardio workouts contain four exercises, 60 seconds on and 20 seconds rest, three sets each. The Full Body Strength workouts are 60 seconds on and 25 seconds rest, three sets each.
Phase Two
Phase Two has three different types of workouts. Upper BodyStrength, Lower Body Strength, and Tabata Cardio.
Tabata Cardio workouts contain three rounds of two exercises each and you do four sets of each round. This is probably my favorite form of cardio. Fast, short, and very effective!
The Upper Body and Lower Body Strength workouts consist of five exercises, 45 seconds on and 20 seconds rest, three sets each.
Phase Three
Phase Three is more focused on individual muscle groups. All strength workouts contain six exercises, 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest, three sets each.Ladder Cardio was definitely something new for me in this phase. The goal is to do as many sets as you can and time yourself. Here's an example of how that works.
The schedule for this phase was a little more rigid...
Monday: Back and Biceps
Tuesday: Chest and Triceps
Wednesday: Ladder Cardio
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Ladder Cardio
Here are my Day 1 and Day 90 Fit Test Results. I am definitely feeling stronger! Unfortunately I did not take any measurements when I started but I am down about five pounds. I'm sure this would have been more if I was really really focused on my nutrition!
Overall I really liked this program and her format. I am planning on starting her 4.0 Challenge on Monday and we'll see how that goes! This time I will definitely take measurements before, during, and after! Comment below if you decide to check out her workouts and if you want to join me for the 4.0 Challenge!
