Press to jump
- 0:16Brian says the bodyweight session needs only an optional mat.
- 1:02The warm-up starts with kneeling shoulder rotations before stretches, lunges, squats and walkouts.
- 6:27The first block uses three exercises across three rounds, with 40 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest.
- 6:55Squats with alternating forward lunges, plank up-downs and reverse crunches make up the first block.
- 15:26The second block combines skaters with a balance hold, plank step-outs and three-way crunches.
Finishing isn't the finish. FitnessBlender's six uploads this week pair Brian's bodyweight workout with a practical question: what should you do after Muscle & Power?
The week's most-watched release, "[FREE Day 9] - Full-Body Bodyweight HIIT + Core Workout: Cardio + Core in Three-Round Set," drew about 11,000 views. Brian needs only an optional mat, moving from squats and alternating lunges into plank up-downs and reverse crunches. Later, skaters come with a balance hold rather than a rush for speed. "We're not looking for speed, more for control," he says. One viewer specifically mentions the modification reminders; another singles out the core and balance work.
The follow-up recommendations leave room for something gentler. "3 Recovery Workouts to Try After Muscle & Power" points to Kayla for easy mobility, Nicole for an active-recovery routine and Erica for a shorter lower-body stretch. Two further uploads invite questions about choosing the next workout, with the team planning a video response. Their message is refreshingly uncompetitive: you don't need to do everything.
Subscribers held steady, while daily views are currently running at more than twice their usual pace. Among the channel's active uploads, Amanda's new "Shoulders Down and Back" is drawing the most daily views. Her explanation turns a familiar trainer cue into a specific action: lower the shoulders away from the ears and gently draw the shoulder blades together.
