It's day 6! I had a date with Autumn today! Today's video was Chisel Endurance and it REALLY tested my ability to keep going without breaks. The video is about 35 minutes long. It's broken up into two identical rounds. Every move is done for 1 full minute before switching to a new exercise or to the other leg. I actually did the first half of Round 1 without shoes on because the rubber soles of my sneakers kept sticking to the chair when I was trying to run up and down on it.
My favorite chisel move:
Step up Crossover --- I LOOOOOVE leg exercises even when they push me to my max. I used my folding chair for this one. You hold a weight- I used 15 lbs.- and keep one foot planted on the chair; the other foot will lift off the ground. The planted leg pushes you up and you lower yourself back to the ground slowly. The control and slow speed is the hardest part. It's also the most effective!
My LEAST favorite move (i.e. the most effective):
Negative Pull-ups --- You pull up and then lower yourself down slowly for one minute. By the end of the workout, even with the pull-up assist band, I couldn't
Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs, whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter
Snack: (late breakfast so no snack today!)
Lunch: 1 scoop Vegan Shakeology, one FROZEN banana (total game changer), 1 scoop of powdered peanut butter (PB2), 7oz of water
Snack: UGH! Holiday weekend strikes again! Ritz crackers, spinach and artichoke dip, cured meat, liquid calories : (
Dinner: London broil, grilled chicken, salad, corn, tomato/ fresh mozzarella salad, potato salad ... ice cream cake for my sister's birthday. Only a little slice, but all that sugar messed with my slumber last night! I just can't metabolize sugars like I used to. They make me jittery!
