May 1, Looking for some Upper Body Variation.

May 1, Wednesday, 2019 - 10-Minute Trainer: One-on-One with Tony, Friday Night Arms + Chest and Back + ChaLEAN Extreme: Extreme Core Circuit + Shoulder Care Yoga + TCF.

I was looking for something different but didn't have a lot of time today, so I thought the 10-minute trainer would be good for upper body work.  I figured I could do most of my upper body with just two routines, Friday Night Arms and Chest and Back.  Only 10 minutes each so I figured I could knock them out pretty quickly.  For FNA, I actually used light dumbbells, just 4-6.25 kgs for the various moves.  I didn't want to lose tension on the low positions.  Also, since each move is a timed move, I chose the lighter weight so I wouldn't burn out too early.  For the Chest and Back, no weights, just resistance bands so I figured it would be easy peasy. Nope, not at all. I didn't get a huge pump, but the burn was intense.  My back was ON FIRE for most of the routine.  Just continuous horizontal pulling from the doorknob level.  I was feeling good after those two little routines.

I was feeling a little tired, so I chose the Extreme Core Circuit because I could sit on the ball.  This time around, I used the 1 kg hand weights.  I tried to stay in the higher position for more of the moves.  I got a major burn.

I finished off with the regular stuff.

In the end, I burned a good 771 kcals.  Plus, it was nice to take a little break from Push-Ups and Pull-Ups.
