Jessie J x NTC: Wild Alive Workout

The Jessie J and Nike Training Club have decided to collaborate with a high intensity workout that has launched this week! 

Jessie's 15 minute 'Wild Alive Workout' is exclusive to Nike, focusing on your lower body and getting your heart pumping. The app includes 5 drills (all repeated for a minute each over 3 rounds) that aim to build on muscular endurance, with one particular drill being extra-personal to the artist: the Jessie Drop Squat. This move takes inspiration from the singer's pre-stage warm up, which I don't know about you but I'd be rather intrigued to see!

REVIEW

It only felt right for me to test out the app before telling you ladies about it, so that's what I did... I enjoyed the boxing aspect of the first drill, simple double squats with air punches in between, but was worried that the workout might be a little too tame, as I wasn't out of breathe at all by the end of the first minute. The second drill requires space but picked up the heart rate some more and by the time the fourth drill came around I was wondering what the hell I'd gotten myself in to! The Squat to X-Jump is the worst- if your legs don't burn after this one I'm impressed! By the end of the third round my legs wanted to kill me and I have no doubt that I'll be aching tomorrow morning. 

Probably not the best idea doing this workout after my morning gym session, but this is honestly one to try. It really does work your legs and lasting only 15 minutes you'll feel like you've had a full hour's session. So, my advice... Just Do It! Sorry, I had to.


Burning approximately 108 calories- that's 489 NikeFuel for all of you Fuel band lovers- the workout is available to download on the NTC app now. Find it under 'Get Toned' and 'Intermediate'. 

Good Luck! xx
