With the 100 reps, I try to do about 20-25 reps non-stop, then take a short rest and continue. I usually end up doing 4-5 sets to get through all 100 reps.

Does that apply to the 100 reps as well?
Great week btw, fun and varied, thanks!

Weights vary so much per exercise, just use however heavy you can go. The last 2 reps should be almost failure. If you can do 15 reps no prob with a certain weight, increase.

Yes I realized what you meant a couple of sets into my lunges lol! Great workout thanks 🙂

Hi Beth,

This is super highly individual, and can totally depend on how much you exert yourself, your current weight (sometimes if you weigh more, you’ll burn more) and a number of other factors. But to give you a rough guideline, I burn on average 500 cals a workout (I weigh around 130 lbs). FitBit actually don’t monitor your heart rate, they are more for counting steps. Even though they will guesstimate a total calorie burn for the day, it doesn’t do a great job figuring out your actual calorie burn during a workout (as its usually a lot higher than a FitBit would indicate). So I recommend getting a heart rate monitor for that.

I just got on board with the BBH Body Assault program, and I must say…it’s kicking my booty so far! Thanks for putting together these awesome workouts!

I am curious if you have an estimate on the calorie burn for these workouts? I haven’t yet invested in a FitBit or something of the like, and I’m curious to know how the calorie expenditure compares with some of my other favorite workout routines. I like to keep an eye on my daily calorie intake as I’m managing few mineral deficiencies right now and wanted to make sure I’m staying on-point. If you don’t have that info, of course I completely understand! Thank you!

Beth

Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying them! 🙂

Just because we’re doing smith machine lunges which are much heavier than regular lunges, and also leg extensions as well 😉
