HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Burn Intervals + Splits + TCF.

Breakfast Shake and morning workout.  Finally able to carry out my workout as scheduled.

It has been a while since I did this routine, but I have always liked this one.  I have always gotten big calorie burns when a workout combines cardio and resistance.  I kind of wish there were more routines like this out there.  In the past, I would start off with 5kgs but lower it to 4kgs or even 3kgs because the rep count is so high and fast.  I was kind of expecting to do the same today.  I started off with 5kgs. I held up okay for the first half pretty well. I got through the bicep curls, rows, shoulder presses and lunges.  But my nemesis is the triceps section. Kick backs were fine, but the overhead tricep raises, I failed half way, and had to take several breaks and rewind several times to get all the reps in. BURN BURN BURN!!!  In the next few resistance moves, I had to take a few breaks, but less than the triceps move.  But, I stuck with 5kgs all the way through. That is a hurdle I finally got over.  Now, to increase muscle endurance, I intend to lower the number of breaks every time I do this routine.  Another thing about this routine is that today is the first time for me to use the thigh toner bands with this workout. In a word... OUCH!!! Again, I never realized how much work it was to stretch that band out with your legs. My thighs were BURNING!!! and my butt was on the verge of cramping at the end of each band move.  Crazy Awesome!!!

Splits hit a new low today. Knee felt okay so I pushed a bit more. Flow was solid.  I think I'm almost ready to take a video of my Flow. I'm thinking of what to wear. LOL!

In the end, I torched over 760kcals. I was gnawing at the bit to GO for the day.  So much energy!

So happy to enter the weekend. Hello Off Day!
