POPSUGAR Fitness 4-Week Full-Body Fusion: Week 4 Review
I Did All 4 Weeks of POPSUGAR's Full-Body Fusion Program — Here's How It Went
2
First up: the longest workout of the week, a 40-minute session with Jake Dupree. When I started this program at the beginning of January, I was like, Oh, Jake is so sunshine-y and sweet, but I can confirm now that he is totally trying to torture us all.
Fortunately, Jake still brings his fun personality, even as he tears your abs to shreds. Ultimately, I loved this balance of stamina-building cardio and muscle-building strength moves. There were several exercises that helped with my lower abs (transverse abdominis), which I desperately need to make my darn hip flexors stop overworking! Another component I really loved was the cooldown; I definitely needed pigeon pose after this workout. The yoga-style end to the intensive cardio routine was perfect.
I did this workout at my mom's house using my iPad as my screen, so it was the first (and only!) time I did a workout away from my Apple TV. Fortunately, the app is even easier to use on a mobile device.
Resistance band exercises are among my favourite (big, big fan of the booty bands), so when I saw resistance bands in the thumbnail image, I got really excited. This 13-minute workout kept it short and sweet, and felt like a fusion between a shadow boxing class and Best Butt Ever from Equinox (a class I used to take weekly!).
