Leg Training with Shaun T.

November 6, Tuesday - T25 - Alpha: Cardio + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Core Circuit + Free Weights - Upper Body + TCF.

No classes in the evening today, so when I got home I got to my workout.  I was wanting to do a little more heavy work on my lower body endurance.  I'm still worried about my stamina and especially my calves.  Having them cramp a couple of months ago at the tennis tournament really shocked me so I want to push my lower body strength and endurance.

I was very happy with today's T25 Cardio because I was able to do a Straight 25, no breaks.  I was thinking it would take a little longer to get to this point, so I was surprised that I actually was able to take the pain in my arches and calves.  Most of that pain was in the second progression with the Jack Feet, Double Jack Feet, Double Jumping Jacks, and then the Regular Jumping Jacks.  That progression just kills me every time.  Once I got through that, I just had one more hurdle to clear, and that was getting past the first Burnout.  Once that was cleared, I knew I could take the rest of the routine.  And I did!

I still am not using any extra weight for the Abs routine with Chalene and it is plenty tough.  Then went for the Free Weights.  Arms, Shoulders, Back, and Chest today with the same style as before.  Three sets with high, medium, and low rep counts with Low to high weights.  Got a good pump and burn.  I got through all the Flows fine.  I'm nailing the balance of time between left and right.

Calorie burn was also good.  917 kcals.
