HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Push Circuit 1 + Splits + TCF.

HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Push Circuit 1 + Splits + TCF.

I was debating whether to do Burn Circuit again or to move on. As you can see, I decided to move on.  I may stick with Push Circuit for a couple weeks. I got such an awesome burn today. I upped my weights, but still not as heavy as I lifted the last time I went through the program, but I can remember that I was going faster than Chalene and adding more reps, even in Push Circuit.  This time, I told my self to go at Chalene's pace and only do the reps she did.  I also resigned to really flex out every target muscle group.  I basically hit total and utter failure on every move. The pace is so slow and requires major focus or else I'd just speed up and lose the benefit of the move. So I really focused.  The only adjustment was, again, to add the 4 sets of pull ups and chin ups.  The squats were so taxing. I got an awesome pump and burn all over my body with the routine today.  Achieved that major cardio affect with even the upper body moves, not to even mention the slow squats for lower body.  Four hours later, and I'm still feeling the burn.

Splits and Flow were okay. I pushed the splits and stretch. Slowly but surely, I'm getting lower bit by bit.

Legs were feeling like rubber so I lost a little stability and balance on the Flow.  But maintained a good steady pace.

In the end, I torched just under 800kcals.

I keep forgetting to mention this, but I'm doing really well with the water intake. I average about 1.5 gallons a day.  I also got my wife to drink more water. According to that "Required Water" chart, she is now drinking 2 cups over the recommended amount of water daily.  Being Japanese, tea, and green tea were preferred drinks, but now, she has sort of lost the taste for it. We are both feeling really good and energetic.
