3rd Week with ChaLean Extreme
So today marks the beginning of the third week for my Chalean Extreme workout, the first couple weeks took awhile because of my television being broken, but I am back up and running in full force. I started off this week with the Chalean extreme burn circuit 1 workout, I really enjoyed this workout, it is challenging and motivating. For the most part this workout focuses on your upper back and your chest, and of course it also works out the lower body at the same time, having you do squats and lunges with weights. But what I love most about this workout is that there are a couple exercises that workout your abdominal. In one workout, with heavy weights you squat down and back up and then crunch to the sides, you do that slowly 12 times, even with 25 pound weights you can feel the burn really well. In another workout called the Bench press and lower leg exercise, you lie on your back, placing the band around your ankles. Raise your legs straight up in the air and extend your weights above your chest. Then as you lower your weights to your chest you simultaneously lower your legs as far as you can go without touching the ground and back up as you lift the weights back up from your chest. You do this 12 times. This was a pretty difficult workout, especially if you do not have the strongest abs. I recommend that if you cannot to the 10 to 12 reps than maybe you should do the modified version with your knees bent. There are a couple more abdominal routines in this workout that are just awesome, just make sure to use the right weight or you might not get all you can achieve.
For my diet today, I had a whole wheat English muffin in the morning, with all natural peanut putter and lower sugar jelly. It was super good!! After the workout I had a banana and a protein drink to help my muscles recover from this morning and last night. Speaking of last night, my buddies and I had our first softball games. We did absolutely terrible the first game, I do not even want to talk about it. But the second game we were down by three in the last inning and we came back and won it!! So that was sweet! Personally though, they were probably some of the worst games I have ever played. I went 0-3 in the first game, and then 2-4 in the second game. My fielding was off too, I moved over to third base this year, so it is going to take me a little time to get used to that position.
