MHC - Total Body Chisel & 10 mins Abs

Wow this is a really great workout - best of the bunch I reckon.
I took a few breaks to sort my weights out and my bench takes longer to adjust than theirs but still got a great workout!!

And Chisel Abs OMG they are brutal!!!

Love this program and really dent think I would but I do - think I may even have to buy the deluxe ones too!!

MHC - Max Hammer Strength & Hammer Abs

Upped my weights and pushed on this tonight - had to pause a few times to put weights away and track stuff but really enjoyed it.

The weighted steps up after those bulgarians OMG!!!

MHC - Chisel Agility

Pushed hard tonight and really enjoyed it.

Plank Tap X - I even managed all the way through - wahoo!! No knee down like last time but did go into down dog for a couple of breaths both rounds but still great progress for me.

Although I'm wondering about subbing in Plyo X for more of a burn??? But I'll stick to the program for now I guess.

MHC - Hammer Total Body

Upped most of my weights today and pleased with progress.

Pull ups seems harder than ever today and I managed all the bulgarians without dropping the weight (albeit a lighter weights) but I can go up from here.

MHC - Hammer Conditioning

Another good one - a little different and yet the same lol.

This was tough for me tonight as I'm actually sore from Chisel Balance yesterday and this one works some of the same muscles so was a little ouchy but still enjoyed it. Especially the "Burpee Renegade upright row" love it!!!

MHC - Chisel Balance

Wow the difference a bench makes!! Last time I did this with no bench and this time I did upping my weights slightly too) and it made a huge difference. Almost 100 calories difference to be precise!!

I upped my weights to 5kg except for the single leg deadlift which I upped to 7kg and the very last set of pistols which I dropped to 4kg as I was toast.

Loved it!!!

MHC - Hammer Power

This was a great workout, really enjoyed it. Even brought some muscle memory back from when I did crossfit.

Loved it but need to up most of the weights next time to get more out of it.

MHC - Chisel Agility

Another good workout. When you've done P90X Plyometrics and P90X3 Agility X - This was fairly familiar in most parts. So I didn't find it crazy hard but it was a good workout.

I pushed harder in the second round as I knew what was coming ;)

My own full body stretch I did afterwards - Which I normally do but I separated it off just to see the burn from the workout alone.

MHC Max Hammer Strength

This was a really great workout tonight but I started off way too cautious on the weights. I should have previewed before hand and got my max weights ready!

I pushed more towards the end but will up it next time to get more out of it ;)

I held the weights at my side instead on my shoulder for the squat - holding 10kg/22lb on each shoulder while squatting was pretty hard, it affected my balance and I felt it my back from the weight pulling me forward so after 2 reps the weights were at my sides.

My 35lb single rows were about right after getting fatigued on the chin ups though!

The seated calf raises I did standing with 30lb in each hand - I find it more effective than the seated version. But needs 35s next time!

Looking forward to doing this one again.

MHC - Chisel Cardio

Wow cardio but not as we know it!!!!

No furious jumping around on this cardio workout - except a few burpees that is! Brilliant workout!!

I did assisted chin ups instead the prescribed pull ups in this as we've done so many pull ups that I thought some chin ups would be more beneficial, especially for me as I'm stronger at them so I could more done giving more of a cardio effect for me.

Loved it!!! Didn't give me the same cardio high I get from T25 or Insanity but a great cardio workout that is easy on the joints ;)

MH&C Total Body Hammer

Well finally a reasonable strength workout for this program!!

Enjoyed it but I did the step lunges as static lunges so will change that next time. Went cautious on the weights so will up them next time for sure.

Master Hammer and Chisel - Chisel Endurance

So this was a great workout - enjoyed it and will up some of the weights to make it harder next time.

I upped the weight in the second round and was pleased with what I did. My bench is quite soft but its just makes more challenging ;)

Hammer and Chisel Day 4 - Iso Speed Hammer.

Hammer and Chisel Day 4 - Iso Speed Hammer.

Well I don't know where to start - this was more of a recovery workout than anything else - in my opinion. if they programmed it after a heavy day then that was maybe its intention but its mostly programmed after rest day!!!! So I have no clue and feel this one is big miss from Beachbody and Sagi

With the 10 reps you kind of want to go heavy to get anything out of it and yet with the fast 10 reps you can't go heavy so it just contradicts itself. You have to go fairly light and by the end you really don't feel like you done anything at all????

I was short on time tonight or I would have probably done something else like tomorrows workout too!

I won't be bothering with this one again unless I need a light recovery day or a warm up for some heavy weights.

H&C Chisel Iso Strength

Wow this is a tough one - with them isometric holds for 10 secs. Make sure you pick the right weight for these moves because its gonna burn and its gonna burn some more !!!!

Another great workout by Autumn. The workout is pretty short but get the weights right its a real burner!!!

Hammer Plyo

So day 2 of Hammer and Chisel with Hammer Plyo and wow what a workout!

Great one by Sagi - tough but fun.

The bench jump overs/on I didn't think I could do them but I did!!

Another thumbs up from me for this one two.

The Masters Hammer and Chisel - Chisel Balance

So after two days off - neither off them really planed, Hamer and Chisel arrived today so I decided to get started ;) I figured a change would be good and shorter workouts will help while my energy levels sort themselves out.

Chisel Balance - Autumn at her best. Really enjoyed this one and I was sweating buckets without really doing much if you know what I mean!

So new moves in there and it reminded me a little P90X2 but dare I say it better!!! P90X2 I found some of it crazy hard although this is challenging its more doable - for me anyway!

I didn't use the bench today, I have to fetch it from another room for tomorrow so I will use it next time but bowser great workout!

I only used 4kgs for it and could probably up it next time for all the moves except the pull overs?

The Bulgarians Squat plyo - OMG that which foot on chair was really difficult and second time I didn't on the floor and it was so much easier so you can really work as hard you can/want too.

T25 Lower Focus & Ab Intervals

Phew!! T25 double and bowser - I was toast about 10 mins into ab intervals!!!

This was tough but I will keep at it till it gets easier - that my challenge! More endurance, stamina and a stronger core!!!!

P90X Chest and Back

So after two rough days doing nothing recovering and a total of 4 days suffering with with very bad DOMS I felt much better and got back to it!

Chest and back went ok tonight - I decreased the assistance on my chin up max by taking the middle band out and it was too tough so I raised the stirrup up a tad and went with it. Bought my numbers down to 6-8 (and a 3) but that good because I know I ill be stronger for it ;)

Push ups I aimed at 8 reps instead of 10 and aimed to get them all on my feet - was better but still a few military ones still had to go knees - maybe next time!!

P90X2 Recovery & Mobilty

Really needed this tonight, been ages since I've foam rolled and boy did I know to it!!!!

Suffering from post post leg day doms from hell - really ouchy!!!

LM Combat Ultimate Warrior or Combat 60 live

Great workout tonight - loved it!

P90X Legs and Back

I managed to get this all done tonight - wahoo!!! Things are getting better.

Went well and upped my weights for calf raises and did the same or more reps for pull ups/chin up with less assistance which was really pleasing.

Afterwards I took out the the central red band on my chin up assist and see how many I can get done next week ;)

Fountain of Youth Yoga

So I did 10 mins hoovering just to see the 33 calls burnt tonight before I got going lol

I did Tony's Fountain of Youth Yoga which was great - still can't do all the ab section but getting better.

Then I did my Egoscue stretches trying to improve my dysfunction according to his book - after Tony says look it up in X3.

P90X Shoulders and Arms

Pushed hard on this tonight and it went pretty well. Shoulder was a little tweaky after the first set of chair dips which I did on Power stands so didn't do the second set. A couple of PR's so that always nice ;)

T25 Gamma Rip't Up

So after waiting and waiting to see if it came on offer with black friday and it didn't I gave in and bought T26 Gamma - so I had to give it a go tonight.

I enjoyed it, fast paced but you would expect that for a 25 min workout but good fun with the dumbbells and as always Shaun make you do things that many other trainers forget about and so you  get a real rounded routine. Brilliant.

I chased with 21DF yoga which was just what a needed. Shoulders didn't like the last few Chataranga's but the stretch I really needed. The sporadic workouts of late have not been good so hopefully get back to getting more in each eek until things kick off again.

P90X Plyometrics

Loved this tonight, great workout!!

P90X Chest and Back

Finally got chance to do something tonight after a crazy busy day and out with my best mate last night.

Enjoyed it, wasn't full of energy but pleased with what I did.

P90X2 Base and Back

Nearly didn't bother tonight as was falling asleep but got up and got it done and so glad I did. really enjoyed it and felt more energised after too = bonus!!!

Fountain of Youth Yoga

So after 3 days of nothing and recovery after giving blood for the first time ever I'm finally feeling good again.

So I did Tony's Fountain of Youth Yoga just to ease back in but I can feel my recent gains starting to disappear so I need to hit the weight tomorrow!

P90X+ Intervals

Wanted something cardio but not too long and longer then T25 so P90X+ Intervals plus it was = great fun!!

The hardest bit either side the break was really tough as usual but really enjoyed and after a long hard day emptying sheds it was just what I needed.

P90X3 Complex Lower and Complex upper

I wanted a total body thrashing tonight so I did both Complex lower and upper.

On the lunge thrust press I did some push press, swimmers press, hammer curl & press and some more push press. On the plyo push ups, I did just standard all feet on set 1, plyo on knees set 2, 1 knee standard set 3 and military push ups on last set - Just to add in some variety to hit all the spots I needed hitting.

I needed the weights to try to maintain my gains so they don't all disappear with my sporadic workouts at the moment with everything going on.

HRM wouldn't work tonight ;(

P90X3 The Warrior

This was good fun tonight, forgot how tough some bits are ;)

T25 Alpha Lower Focus

Phew got this done today and wow those lunge pulses are still really ouchy!!!

Enjoyed it though ;)

P80X3 The Challenge

So got something done today, wasn't feeling on top form but went for it anyway! It went pretty well, fairly pleased with my results as major increase in numbers since last time - yay more progress!

T25 Alpha Cardio

Managed to get one in today after all - Alpha Cardio = phew!!!

P90X3 Total Synergistics

Being short on time at the minute because we are crazy hectic, trying to get my hour workouts in is just not happening either time or energy level wise so I think I need to crack on with some 25-30 mins ones when I can fit them in. Not part of my original schedule but getting ready to move home and business is going to take some serious preparation, energy, time and organisation!

So I managed P90X3 Total synergistic and it was good fun. Good all rounder and if tomorrow is mega busy and don't get one in I won't feel too guilty ;)

P90X Legs and Back

Wow finally got chance to get this in tonight and it was going great till my energy levels really tanked!

Really hard when everything became really hard work. I skipped most of the sneaky lunges to to take a breather, did the chairs salutations, only 6 iso lunges and the pull ups and decide I'd be stupid to carry on so cooled down.

Felt disappointed that I didn't finish but new it was in my best interest - energy was just drained away! But really pleased with what I did do and even got the careful down the stairs wobble so prepare for post leg day doms tomorrow and more thursday!!!!

T25 Speed 2.0

Was short on time but managed to squeeze in something = T25 Speed 2.0 - tough but good fun.

Been really busy but felt good to do something

Fountain of Youth Yoga

Really enjoyed this, worked hard on the tough bits, did more ab work than last time but can't keep up with Tony yet! Loved it.

P90X Shoulders and Arms

Really enjoyed this tonight, didn't have time for Ab Ripper but enjoyed pumping the arms. They looked and felt twice the size when I'd done ???

Nice increase on some sets compared to last time in June so that was good and encouraging too.

Insanity The Asylum Vertical Plyo and Relief

Another very long day with 3 guys in the house trying to find a leak on the central heating but I got my workout in thank goodness.

It was really tough but really enjoyed it too ;)

P90X Chest and Back

At long last I got to start my new workout schedule with Chest and Back and it was awesome!!

Loved it - I actually managed 120 push ups and only 18 on knees - I'm super stoked! New personal best for me, I've never done 10 in every set before ever!!!

I've done this workout 13 times and the first time was July 13 and I managed a total of 49 push ups and all were on my knees.

If I can improve like that anybody can!!!

T25 Total Body Circuit

Crazy week with me in the house firing a new boiler and the turmoil and frustration is unbelievable.

Managed to squeeze in a T25 total body this morning and boy I'm not a morning workout person - just not enough energy in the system but I got it done and something is better than nothing!

One on One Recovery 4 Results

This was really great and just what I needed - ready to get stuck into my P90X/Aslyum hybrid next week.

21 Day Fix Extreme Dirty 30

Change of pace today with a total body workout from Autumn with Dirty 30 Extreme.

It was different and good fun and quite enjoyed it.

Only used 1kg and 2 kg weights and I could easily up the 2kg next time, but those 1kgs make the shoulders scream with all those reps!

P90X Cardio X

The yoga in this one was tough after Fountain of Youth yesterday but enjoyed it. Was going to do piyo tomorrow but more yoga may not be the best idea hmmmmm

Tony Horton One on One Fountain of Youth Yoga

So recovery week for me this week ager my muscles telling me that what they need...so start the week with some Yoga!

Fountain of Youth Yoga - really enjoyed it and got to loosen up with some great stretches. I really noticed that the chataranga's seem much much easier so Beast must have got me stronger ;)

Also noticed while checking Warrior one form in in the mirror I really have some muscles showing in my legs and my booty looked the best I've seen it, like ever!!!

Bodybeast Bulk Arms and T25 Cardio

So bulk arms went ok tonight but my muscles are starting to feel tired again so I'm really wondering about pushing on for another 2 weeks?? I think its time to stop beast and have a recovery week and do something else more fun.

Chased it with T25 cardio which was tougher than I expected or remembered phew!!!!

Bodybeast Bulk Shoulders and Bulk Back

After driving and being out most of the day yesterday didn't gt my workout in so doubled up to catch up.

Went pretty well, shoulders not increasing massively nor some of the back moves but deadlift up again to 49kg for 8 reps so pleased with that.

Bodybeast Bulk Chest & T25 Beta Speed 2.0

Got bulk chest done, weights all the same but felt a teensy bit easier than last time - phew!!

Chased with with T25 Speed 2.0 and really need it after a very disappointing day.

But I'm super excited about tomorrow as we are getting faster broadband and after nearly 10 years of 1-1.2 Meg getting 13 Meg is going to feel like all my Christmas's have come at once!!!

P90X+ Total body Plus

I couldn't fancy Sagi with Total body tonight so I did Tony's Total body plus, it works the whole body with tons of variety and a bit of fun - loved it!!

Bodybeast Build Shoulders

This went well tonight increased my weights improved everywhere so really pleased.

Insanity Core Cardio and Balance and Cize Crazy 8's

I couldn't face Sagi and Cardio/abs tonight so I did Insanity Core cardio and Balance, paused before the stretch at the end and wanted a little more so did about 15 mins of Cize Crazy 8's, then finished with his stretch plus my own = great fun!!

Bodybeast Build Back and Bi's

So after a very dodgy migraine today and a rough tummy I didn't think I was going to get anything done today but I perked up and push through and I'm so glad I did.

Really enjoyed Build back and Bi's, increased my deadlift again, increased my EZ bar Row and got lots more assisted pull ups (as in all 30 for the first time) and chin ups too - Wahoo!!!

I actually think I dropped my calories too low so I'm going to increase so I can function properly and see how I go.

Bodybeast Bulk Legs

Love leg day!!!

This went well tonight with an increase in weights on 2 big sets ;)
