ChaLean Extreme: Day 2 – Burn Circuit 2
Today was the second day of my Chalean Extreme body workout, if you remember anything about my first post on how day #1 went…throw it all out the window. I found heavier weights and ChaLean Extreme Day #2 was way more difficult. I pretty much used 25 lbs. the whole time, I know that does not sound like a lot, but you have got to understand something, I also go workout at the gym with my friends, so the night before my friend and I did chest, triceps and abs. Since my muscles were already fatigued it made the workout hard to get through. It felt really great though to get back into a tough routine. I am more excited now about ChaLean Extreme because I no know that it is actually going to be a challenge for me, like how the P90x workout was. Some of the exercises are still taking a little time to get used to and I will probably be going through that awkwardness for the first week, but after that it should be smooth sailing. I also do not really like the warm up section, I feel like we are being rushed through the whole thing, but what do I know…I have never made a successful workout video. My buddy Ben did pretty good today, although later on I found out that he almost threw up, but he hid it well. You can also read up on his ChaLean Extreme Blog to see his progress and his opinion of the whole workout. Personally, I really enjoyed this workout.
So later on today, Ben, Jeff and I have decided that we are going to skip the gym and get outside to do a hike. We are hiking up a place called Poo Poo Point (I know…what a terrible name). It is about 2 miles up and two miles back down, so all together it is around 4 miles. It will be a lot of fun, hopefully it is clear when we get to the top so we can see over Issaquah and Bellevue. The spot is famous around Washington for hang gliding and para sailing. This is the beginning step for getting back into hiking shape for The Enchantments 09′!! Check out my Enchantment 08′ pictures, they are sweet.
