Is the F45 Tokyo Disco Hard?
This workout in particular is one of the hardest ones that F45 Training offers. It’s specifically tailored to overload your body and put it through an intense challenge.
Since you’ll be starting with a bunch of upper body exercises that definitely aren’t easy like the bench press and chin-ups, your body is gonna feel fatigued right from the first half and will barely have enough energy to tackle in the second half which also has some difficult challenges like the deadlift.
By the end of the workout, your body is gonna feel worn out and by the next day, it’ll be extremely sore.
Conclusion:
If you’ve never done an F45 Tokyo Disco workout before and are not sure what to expect, then I hope this article made it more clear for you. Just remember that if you find it too difficult or too easy, you have full flexibility to go lighter or heavier depending on your physical ability. And if you’re not sure how an exercise is done, just ask the trainers there and they’ll be glad to help.
All that matters is that you have a solid workout and push your body to its fullest potential.
