8-7-15 HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Lean Circuit 2 + Insanity-Cardio Abs + Splits + TCF.

First official day of vacation for me.  I slept in until almost 11am.  Nice to catch up on some sleep. I felt rested and refreshed when I woke up.  It sort of messed with my eating schedule, but it all workout in the end.  Had a large breakfast, or medium brunch, then around 5pm, I had a shake, and dinner at 7pm.  With the heat bearing down on us for the last couple weeks, I have been drinking well over a gallon of water a day.  Lots of water = lots of sweat!

Today's routine finished out a full circuit of ChaLEAN Extreme!  Target muscles, Shoulders, Upper Back and legs.  But I think I went a bit too heavy on some of the lateral lifts.  10kgs quickly got heavy after the first half of the set, then I started to speed up a bit.  I also couldn't hold the weight at the top.  I wasn't jerking the weight up, but it was a bit faster than Chalene's pace.  I finally started to lower the weight in 1.25kg increments for the last two moves. Ending at 7.5kgs.  Almost failing on the 12th rep.  But I did raise the weights for the rows.  I started out at 14.5kgs, but went up to 19.5kgs for the final two row moves.  That was perfect because I could NOT go past 12 reps for sure.  Super pump and burn!

I was feeling a bit energized so I went with Shaun T.  The moves are easy, but if I don't wimp out, they really task my core.  However, today, I was interrupted so I did the routine in two parts. But I still got a killer burn.  I was happy that I lasted all four sets on the last move.  Seems so easy at first, but by the end of the second set, I'm like, "WHAT?? Only half way done??"  Got a great calorie burn boost by the quick cardio at the beginning.

Went right into Splits and Flow.  Finally a normal day for these parts.  It was a bit unorthodox the past couple of days due to a weird schedule and odd locations.  Everything was good and on point.  Pushing hard and moving fast and smooth.  Great way to Flow into the weekend.

In the end, I torched a good 960+kcals.  HAPPY WEEKEND, Everyone!
