Day 3 was upper-body burn in MBF and the 15-minute cardio routine from 645.
In the 645 routine, I am absolutely getting better at the pulse squats and the jump lunges (the two exercises from the actual workout that I do; the others get swapped out for Lift 4 cardio exercises). The MBF workout is tough (yet again). It follows a very similar format to the lower-body burn workout. There are four blocks. In two of the four, you do two rounds of two exercises and a combo of the two exercises. You use unbalanced weight, meaning you do the exercise on the right side, holding the weight in your right hand, and then you switch to the left side. And, there are no breaks between the exercises, so even when you are doing chest flies and presses, you need to use a lot lighter weight than you would use in a program like P90x or Lift 4 because you never put the weight down once you start. The other two blocks consist of two exercises that you do back-to-back for three rounds, again without stopping. You do all the exercises for 30 seconds (so reps will vary as you get tired), and the only rest in the program are between blocks when Megan shows the next moves (after you have done about 30 seconds with the ropeless jump rope). So, not only do you work your muscles, but your heart rate will be elevated throughout a lot of the workout because you almost never stop moving.
