Chalean Extreme Day 13

Today, I had to wake up earlier than normal to go to work.  I helped tear up a deck because the wood is all rotten, so I was not able to stick to my normal schedule of doing the Chalean Extreme workout in the morning.  I did however meet up with a friend at LA Fitness and did a back and bicep workout routine with him, which worked out great because that was the workout I was supposed to do with the Chalean Extreme workout.  We always workout pretty hard at the gym, and we use all the same principles that Chalene Johnson believes in.  We use dumbbells for the most part and we do not try to rush our exercises, slow is key.

 We usually start off with pull ups but because I injured my bicep last time, we decided to warm up with a lighter bicep curl first.  Then we went to the pull up bar, and with our hands facing forward we did as many pull ups as possible, 3 times.  After that your biceps and upper back are pretty tired, so it makes it pretty tough to finish the rest of the exercises.  We continued to switch off, focusing on biceps and then back and so on, we also did routines that involved working out both areas at the same time.  After the back and biceps workout, we usually end it with some abdominal workouts.  Doing some crunches and oblique exercises, afterward my abs are always sore, but a good sore not a painful one.  I probably will not get to my workout tomorrow, but I will be doing the Burn circuit 3 workout on friday.  So far this has been a great workout routine for toning.
