Chalene Extreme Push circuit 1

Chalene Extreme wk 1 of Push phase
Push circuit 1

After a recovery week I was really looking forward to getting back to it today with some proper weight lifting!!

I didn't use a high enough warm up weight for bicep so 20lbs felt heavy :( so I dropped to 17.5lb. Will up my warm up weight and should be able to do the 20lb'ers next week.

Rest of weights were about right although I need to up the weights for squats at 25lbs were just not heavy enough. The one legged squats where quite different and new to me but worked me well.

Hammer curls made my arms really shaky and after the really slow push ups at the end I was shaky for a while after the workout so I may know it tomorrow he he

Overall loved it!!!

Ab burner

Chased it with abs and wow it still makes those abs burn, burn, burn!!!!

Upped most of weights again and pleased with progress. Was sweating buckets today!

Chased it with Ab Burner - first time for me as I did extreme abs by mistake the last 2 weeks doh!!! and yes it makes the abs burn!!

Chalene Extreme Burn Intervals and Ab Burner

Chalene Extreme Burn Intervals and Ab Burner - wow long session and I was late starting too ;(

Enjoyed it I think lol, it kinda went by in a flash, some of the choreography was a little fast but I did my best. 

I used 5lb for it and that was too much on some of the moves - mainly shoulder press and those weird 'half bicep, twist outwards and then lift up' thingies. Lots of reps really burn after a while even at a mere albs so I dropped to 1.5kg / 3.3lb.

I tried the thigh worker band and didn't get on with that at all so did the rest with out it.

The ab burner was well an ab burner!!! Ouchy couldn't keep up due the pain!! 

Will be better next time but I'm going to move Ab burner to the Monday as the weight days are shorter - doesn't make any sense to add it to the 45 min long workout to me as I always want to stretch more and 1 Hr 13 min is too long for me at the moment.

We have to do what works for us don't we?
